Hello folks, I am currently building a PC for gaming, therefore I am buying the Intel Core Skylake i5 6500 as my CPU.

Therefore, I need a good cooler to go along with it, but I do not know which one I should get, however, I do know I'd like one under £40.

My case is the Corsair 100R and I'm using the H170M DS3H as my motherboard.

Ok, so we all know you don't need an after market cpu cooler.
That being said, if you want an after market cpu cooler check this one out:
http://www.cryorig.com/h7_us.php
Max cpu cooler height for your case is 150mm and this cpu cooler is 145mm.
The cryorig h7 also pretty much guarantees you no ram clearance issues.
Zero reason to need anything more then stock cooler in the 100r case. Buying an aftermarket cooler would just be throwing money away.
About the only circumstance where a non-overclockable intel CPU would need an aftermarket cooler is if you are putting it into some tiny itx case with nothiing for cooling except the CPU fan.
 


I'm wanting to get a good one, I have heard the default one isn't too good for what I want to use it for.
