Which CPU will be good?

Go to solution Solved by --SID--,

With a 9900K on a B365 you want a massive topflow cooler like the be quiet! Dark Rock TF because the motherboard VRM need good airflow too.

Hello everyone, recently i was planning on buying a new cpu cooler, but the thing is that i want a normal air cooler which will keep an i9 9900k cool and will fit in my case and on the mobo.


I have the NZXT 510 and my Mobo is an AsRock B365M Phantom Gaming 4 (LGA 1151).



Thank you for any help and recommendations <33

Some aircoolers might be able to fit in your case but they might not be able to fit on the motherboard because of too high RAM sticks. What RAM kit you got?
