Very nub, 9600k

[incorrectdigit]

So I have an ibuypower pc that literally just fell out of warranty and started having massive heating issues, the case sadly isn't a great one.  It currently has a 120mm aio on it.  I know the thread talks about not wanting 'good enough' but I'm not looking to overclock, just something that should keep my cpu nice and cool under load while it's turboing during things like streaming.  I admit I sort of wish 'cooling' was just a category because I'm not entirely fussed about it being an aio cooler, but I'm really just not sure what's good for a 9600k, google searches and stuff usually just points at things that are a bit more than I think I need like a kraken (which I don't really have a good spot for, I really only have the one 120mm spot.)

 

any advice or suggestions are welcome, Ideally I'd love something more mid range, long term relaible.

If your case allows for large air coolers like Dark Rock Pro 4, or NH-D15, or U14 series, then you'll see quieter operations and cooler temperatures than a 120 mm AIO

NH-D15 cooler! If you have 165mm of clearance.

Even basic air coolers will handle the 9600k at stock. Arctic freezer duo exports, cooler master hyper 212 black edition, etc.

Thank you, I'll look into these, I think the clearance might be a little close.  There a good option if the clearance isn't there?  Thank you all so much for the quick responses though!
