Hello, I'm currently running a I5-6600K. "I know it's old" I'm currently cooling it with the stock cooler but my temps aren't always great and I'm wondering what a good cooler upgrade would be (Decent Priced). I'm thinking air cooled. I don't know much about water cooling.

 

My Current Rig Specs:

CPU: i5 6600k
Gpu: EVGA GTX 960 4GB
Ram: OLOy DDR4 16 GB 2400mhz
Motherboard: ASUS h110 e/m.2
Case: NZXT h510 black
Power supply: EVGA 500w 80plus
SSD: 120 Gb Samsung 850 EVO
HDD: 1TB

What are load temps? Are you using default motherboard settings?

My temps are 60 in Rainbow Six but higher in GTA. I know it’s not horrible but after seeing videos I think updating would be better. My clock speed is 3590.

60c is low. You're fine up to 80-90c at load.
