Hi!
I was planning to build myself a skylake computer.
Until now, the stock cooler was my best friend, but as I'd like to overclock this time around, I'm obviously going to need something better.
After spending hours and hours watching comparison videos on youtube, I'm still not able to choose.
I've been looking around for a while, but even the manufacturers don't update their pages, so I'm having a hard time finding a cpu cooler that has been confirmed to work seamlessly (I'm not into ziptie modding) with the newer LGA1151 socket.
Here is my list of parts.
CPU Intel Core i5-6600K
CPU COOLER ?
Chassi Fractal Design Define R5 Window Black Pearl
MoBo Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
Ram Corsair Vengeance LPX Red 16GB DDR4 2133Mhz
SSD Intel 240GB SSD
HDD Seagate ST2000DM001 2TB
GPU Msi GTX 980 GAMING 4G
Led Mods NZXT. Hue+ Kit
Extra fans Fractal Design Dynamic GP-14 140mm White
PSU EVGA 750W SuperNOVA G2
OS Microsoft Windows 10 USB Eng
Quick note: On fractals website it says coolers up to 180mm high, so i'd like something that is a bit smaller than that (160 ich) so that I really don't have any trouble at all.
Note that I am using ram sticks with a pretty big heat spreader, so I don't want to run in to any trouble with that at all.
I was going to get an AIO liquid cooler until I posted another thread (for choosing the PSU) where I was told that I really had to check out some air coolers that apparently were cooling way better than a Corsair Hydro H55. Btw, does anyone know if the H55 is any good?
So, if you've read this far, you probably got an idea, so please let me know - note that I'd like you to be ENTIRELY sure that the cpu cooler isn't going to cause issues with the ram or the chassi!
Thanks!
Sorry for the long post! so as the 9gag rule says, here's a potato!
