Best Air cooler for 9700k?

[H_Brandon]

Title sais it all, whats the best Air cooler for an I7-9700K? I would like a bit of overclocking too and Im really not into water cooling.
Budget is not a problem, maybe case size is.

Case: Kolink Observatory

DRP4

That doesn't even fit his case.

 

@H_Brandon Some of these depends on your RAM and motherboard, so if you could tell us that, we can narrow it down more.

Scythe Fuma 2

NH-D15S (not the NH-D15)

NH-U12A

Scythe Mugen 5

Scythe Ninja 5

Then any of the ones listed should work, IIRC

Again, doesn't fit. The case only allows CPU coolers 160mm and lower.

No it's not. It's either the NH-D15 or Deepcool Assassin III (they trade blows and it depends on if you noise-normalize or just run on full speed), which he still cant use with the case. Also, the Fuma 2 and Ninja 5 are better in price to performance. Only a degree or 2 behind the DRP4 while being about 20 pounds cheaper

NZXT h510, I like the elite but normal is good

He's from the fucking UK, not the US. You can't just say "for the price, it's better" when it doesn't even apply to him.

 

And The H510 is at most, a side grade from what he already has. He should get the P400A Digital or Meshify C if he wants better airflow.

So lets say if I get the P400A Digital, would that mean that there would be a better cooler for the cpu?

Unfortunately, the P400A has the same CPU cooler clearance as the Kolink case you have. The Meshify C however, can fit the DRP4, the NH-D15 and Deepcool Assassin III.

 

Let me look for a couple more cases.

 

Edit: Lian Li Lancool II Mesh and be quiet! Pure Base 500DX are also alternatives that can fit the NH-D15 and DRP4

Ahh, but that case looked nice af. But maybe I will get the meshify C and experiment with it so i can make it look cool. Thank you

I assume the Be Quiet Pure Base 500DX is compatible wit the DRP4 ?
If so then we have a winner.
