Need Help w/CPU Cooler

[Guest]

Hi! I have an intel core i7 on BIOSTAR Z270GT6 LGA 1151 Intel Z270 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Motherboards, and the current cooler does not fit. I do not know what I should get. Is it possible for a recommendation? Thanks!

You can easily find out if something is compatible by just selecting the parts on Parts picker website. Most modern heatsinks come with a full set of parts for mounting on different sockets, Intel or AMD.

A very commonly used heatsink would be the the 212 EVO, due to its nice performance and very good cost:
