Hey guys, my like 7th post so dunt h4t3 2 much :)

 

So I am looking for a good CPU cooler fan to cool the i7 6700K which I AM GOING TO DEFINITELY overclock at least a little bit :D

 

I have heard corsair is pretty good and some other companies like fractal design is also great but I do have a budget ;(

 

My preference goes to white or silver since my build is white & black :)

 

I don't want water cooling I am scared of some shi&* happening and my computer exploding

I think water just shouldn't be in a computer and it's dangerous.

 

If someone could recommend me a few cpu coolers that are somewhere from 50-75 AUD tht wuld b amaziinnnn :DDDD

 

No really thanks everyone who read this :)

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($523.00 @ CPL Online) 
Motherboard: Asus Z170-AR ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($245.00 @ Centre Com)

Since you are going on air, i would look into the hyper 212 evo or the Noctua NH-U12S

The 

be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3

Seems to be a good choice for overclocking the i7-6700K and possibly keeping it for a longer time than normal

 

I have an ATX board with full tower case so I don't think this should have any issues fitting. My ram is low profile so it should b ok :)

That's a very good air cooler, one of the top end ones. Another consideration would be the Cryorig R1 Ultimate (from what i can see, the absolute king of air coolers)
