Do i need any high end cpu cooler for 6850k?

[saidulfeni]

Hello, i am looking for some suggessions of cpu cooler (air not any liquid please) for my cpu 6850k. I am a video renderer not a gamer and have no plan of overclocking my cpu. I might run my pc most of the time around 10- 12 hours.  Do i need any cpu cooler? If yes, do i need any high end cpu air cooler or a low budget cooler will be more than enough ? If i do need, which one should i buy? Thanks in advance for you suggession?

Yes, you need an aftermarket cpu cooler since it doesn't come with one.

Where are you shopping/located? Budget? What case and ram are you using?

Yes, I am using cooler master hyper212x and it's doing me quite well! I have a 7700 and I play games basically 10 hours a day. It runs pretty cool and I haven't had a problem with my CPU or cooler

I'd get something like a pure rock, should suffice for a non overclocked 6850k. Be sure the cooler has a higher TDP rating than your chip and your fine.

Thanks for your quick reply.. i am from bangladesh. Budget 20 usd to 120 usd for cooler. But i am not intending to pay my max if a lower priced one works just fine for me. And i also dont want any liquid solution rather love to stick with air. my casing will be ,most probably, PHANTEKS PH-ES515ETG ENTHOO EVOLV ATX, TEMPERED GLASS

Ram 32 gb. Gpu 1080, cpu 6850k, psu850wt Mobo asus x99 a 2, ssd 960evo 500 gb. Already have purchased everything except psu, casing, cooler. Please suggest me a best value vs price cpu air cooler.. thanks again.

They probably both will work, but the v8 gts is pretty overpriced IMO. Fot that money, you can get sth like the nhd15 or dark rock pro 3 that easily outperforms cheap aios. 

I still stick with my recommendation pure rock, not too big of a fan of cooler master

TBH, cooler master hyper 212x is what I've been using and it's done really good for me. Look around for a little bit more! You might learn of something decent!

Can you link us to where you're shopping?

What ram are you using in particular? If it's not standard profile, the cooler will have to be able to accommodate for the extra height.

Either should be fine although the V8 GTS is pretty outdated nowadays, loud, and often overpriced.
