Hi,
My computer have an Intel Core I7 6700 CPU (Non K Version), I also currently have the Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B cooler and very happy with it's performance,
However, the Mugen 2 is large and doesn't leave much space between the heatsink and the Video card, it also covers part of the RAM slots.
This causes problem when I need to reach the release clips on the PCI-E Slot to take the GPU out for maintenance or whatever other reason.
I'm looking to replace it with something that will give similar result but will be smaller in size.
After some research I'm currently thinking about the Arctic Freezer i32 but all reviews I could find for it were done on I7 4790K or older CPUs.
My Mugen 2 cooler produces no more that around 61 Celsius under heavy load on my I7 6700 CPU.
Will the Arctic Freezer i32 be able to produce the same or similar results for my CPU?
BTW, I do use some software OC at times, running my CPU at up to 4GHz.
Considering my current temps though under heavy load It wouldn't be an issue if the new cooler I'll get produce a 1-5 degrees higher temps, it will still be well within the CPU temp range, so that's an acceptable variation.
