CPU Fan Size

[Drag0n_YT]

Wondering what fan to get for my PC, but was wondering if it matters what size i get, will they all fix the motherboard and CPU, getting MSI Gaming B150 Motherboard and Intel 6700K

Get a Z170 board for that CPU 120mm air cooler like the Cryorig H7 would be my choice of cooler.

heatsink size is going to only be an issue if the case is too small. What case are you going to use?

Unmatched Compatibility
Zero RAM Interference

Focusing on providing the widest range of
compatibility, the H7 utilizes an asymmetric slanted
heatpipe layout to move the heatsink away from the
RAM zone, Offering optimal compatibility for RAM
with tall heat spreaders on both Intel 115X and
AMD platforms.

Bigger fans cool better so if you are planning OC the bigger the better. The Cooler I recommended fits most tower cases and will cool the CPU even on mid level overclocking.

If going with a 6700k I'd go with a z series board otherwise there's no real point in going with the k series cpu which is unlocked for overclocking. Considering the size of the case which supports coolers up to 180mm in height, I'd spend a few bucks more on a thermalright true spirit 140 power which runs around $50usd and cools on par with a noctua nh-d14.
