i5 7600K cooler

[Maverick923]

Hello,

I have a i5 7600k, and z270x gaming 7, and Raidmax alpha prime.
I am using an old H50 from 2011. I think it maybe time to replace it
because I don't think it is performing as well as it once did.
I am also thinking about pushing the 7600k, and I would like to see if I have gold with this CPU.
Can someone please tell me what coolers can keep me under 70c on full load if that is possible?

Did you want to go with an air cooler? They would be cheaper and more reliable.

High-end:
NH-D15
Cryorig R1
Dark Rock Pro 3

Mid-range:
Dark Rock 3
Cryorig H5
NH-U12S

AiOs:
(I don't recommend Corsair because there are so many come here with pump failures)
EVGA CLC 280
Kraken X52/X62
Swiftech (cannot find in US??)
EK (cannot find in US??)
I really hate to recommend AiO's either way because of the risks of failure and leakage.

Thanks for the info. I do not mind going back to air. I am just wondering if I did have one of the lucky CPU's that can hit 5ghz, would I be able to achieve what I am looking to do and staying under 70c on full load? Is that even possible on air?

The high-end air coolers would do the job I'm sure. But yeah good large AiOs will probably give cooler load temps.
