Looking for the best CPU coolers for Intel i9 9900k processor.

[zjohnson988654]

I know that the i9 9900k processor gets very hot, so I would like to know what kind of cooler I should use for it. I don't plan on overclocking or anything, so I'm really just looking for the cheapest cooler that will reliably consistently prevent overheating.

if you're not overclocking almost any aircooler will work. It's just a matter of what temperature you're comfortable with it sitting at. Just throw on a Hyper Evo 212 and call it a day.

i9-9900k is a beast of a processor and will turbo up to 5.0
It still needs decent cooling.

The key to good cooling is your case.
If you have at least two front 120/140mm intakes you should be ok.

hyper212 is popular because of price.
But, it is hard to mount and is not as effective as a similar scythe kotetsu.

Great, hyper Evo 212 was what I wanted, glad to know it will be enough.

I’m running the be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4. It’s a beast and very quiet. Holds 5ghz on all cores no problem. If not going to boost the CPU the regular Dark rock is a great choice. They are very well made.
