CPU's and heatsinks

[TheGamingEnthusiast]

Hi there,
I am going to purchase a used Intel CPU (i7 2600k) but it doesn't come with a heatsink, will my old Intel CPU heatsink (i3 2120) work with the new CPU. The CPUs share the same socket so I'm hoping it will be ok?
Many Thanks

Most likely to light because of the higher TDP of the I7.

So is it worth getting an Intel CPU cooler or an after market one for the i7?

The intel coolers are horrible I advice you get a hyper 212 or a cryorig h7.

Ahhh I see, I won't be overclocking and I am on a budget, so is the hyper 212 the best option compared to the Cryorig h7?

Whichever one is cheaper is the best option for you.
