i was thinking of upgrading to a i5-6600, and people are selling it without a cooler.
I have a i3-6100 cooler, so do i need to buy a new cooler or am i fine with the i3-6100s cooler?
The i3 is a 51W CPU, the i5 is a 65W CPU. I can't remember where Intel switched cooler size. Try it out and see if the temps stay within the safe zone (under 64C. 100C is throttle)
Ebay is full of new and used Intel coolers for 65W 6th gen CPUs
