It's a non-overclockable CPU, so spending a ton of a cooler is not really a great idea. We don't yet know just how hot this chip will run, so while you may want to get an aftermarket cooler, the stock cooler might do a pretty good job of keeping it cool. 

 

The Vetroo V5 is a pretty good budget cooler around the $25 US mark, so whatever that converts to, though honestly, just find the cheapest cooler that looks mildly better than the stock cooler, and you'll be fine.

Thanks, Unfortunately I can't get the Vetroo V5 in the Netherlands unless I wanna pay €20 extra, but I'll keep your advice in mind

OK, the Artic Freezer 34 is a pretty good option then. That looks to be available in your area and has LGA 1700 support.

Gelid Solutions Phantom seems to be cheap in euros compared to the rest of the world and would be overkill, Hyper212 and Vetroo V5 are both more than enough but end up being a similar or higher price from what I have found.

It is indeed, I'll take it into consideration.

Wait isn't that a crazy deal then for the Phantom? might have to get one of those

Arctic has LGA 1700 for sale on amazon, and also has the i35 available for 45 eur (comes with LGA1700 in the box):

Both the Freezer 34 for ~30-34 eur (standard or white), and Freezer i13 for 25 eur would work , and there's LGA 1700 mounting for 6 eur for all of them.

Just buy a case that comes with decent enough rgb-fans as those fans are just ridiculously expensive for no apparent reason. Phanteks p400a rgb, Lian Li Lancool mesh ii rgb, Lancool 205 mesh rgb, Lancool 215 rgb etc.

I am also planning on building a pc with the same processor as you. I just wanted to ask you which one you ended up purchasing and how its working for you.
