Hello, just finding a cpu cooler for my i5 6600k, I'm using the Enthoo Pro as my case and I was planning on overclocking. What would be a good cpu cooler?

NH-D15. It's the best cooler on the market without doing a custom loop. What's your price range?

I don't really have one, though I was looking at some: NZXT x61 and the H110i GTX, which is better?

 

 

They both have their pros and cons. I prefer the aesthetics of the Corsair, as well as the build quality. However, the x61 typically has an edge in performance, and I certainly prefer NZXT's software.

The Kraken cools better and is quieter.

The x61 cools better but its far from being quieter.

Not sure--they seem similar. http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/7320/corsair-hydro-h110i-gtx-high-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler-review/index7.html

I don't know why you're spending so much for a cooler on an i5 though. You're better off going with a cheaper cooler and the i7.

The Enthoo Pro is quite a wide case, so you definitely shouldn't rule out an air cooler. The top end air coolers should have you covered for any overclock to around 4.7GHz, depending on your draw of the silicon lottery. The NH-D15 is a great cooler, most people don't like how it looks, but the mounting hardware is awesome. The bequiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 isn't as good, but it looks better and the mounting hardware sucks. The Cryorig R1 Ultimate looks good, performs close to the NH-D15, and has good mounting hardware.

With recent reports of 6gen chips bending while using air coolers, I'm somewhat weary of using some of the monster coolers.
