Is this CPU cool good?

[frog8fly]

My liquid cooler recently leaked and I am now searching for a cheap air replacement. 

 

I have an 8600k which I never overclock. So I need a cooler that get's reasonable temperatures at stock.

 

The cooler I found looks pretty good, but I'm not sure about the brand as I have never heard of it. Do you guys have experience with it?

25$ liquid cooler, dear god

For a cheap air cooler, https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Freezer-Esports-ONE-Processor/dp/B076LQ2BJZ/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=esports+33&qid=1549571733&s=Electronics&sr=1-2-catcorr

That looks barely better than a stock intel cooler, bad performance. Get something like a hyper 212 evo. If looks matter , get the blacked out RGB version for $39.99 at most places, it'll massively outperform that cooler you have picked out.

would probably work but the above recommendations are better- arctic freezer 33 would be my pick, alternatively you could get the cooler master hyper 212 evo, those two are tried and true coolers that are very popular for a reason

Now you're just paying twice as much money for a cooler thats just as bad and might even interfere with your RAM. You're picking coolers meant for very small and low power systems. I don't see the point of such low end coolers for a i5 K series CPU. Its like getting a nice sports car and then putting on the cheapest, worst performing tires available on it.

The tires might slow the max speed a bit but they look better. And I am not planning on going that fast anyways. I was gifted the 8600k so my intent was never to overclock.

Poor tires on a sport car mean the second you floor the throttle you just spin tires, it makes it useless to to own the sports car anyways. You're paying the same price for a cooler that is 1/4 the performance of other good options at the same price, which also look good. They look better in my opinion. Even though it'll work, your CPU will runner hotter and louder, and this in turn will affect the lifespan of the CPU. The only time I would ever use a cooler like those is if I was extremely limited on space in an HTPC or something, which is what the coolers are marketed towards. Thats not what you have.

Any of the coolers mentioned so far would be fine. 

What case are you using? If you want rgb, you could get a better cooler for that price like the Hyper 212 RGB BE: https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-RR-212S-20PC-R1-Direct-Contact/dp/B07H22TC1N/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=hyper+212&qid=1549582186&s=Electronics&sr=1-9
