Next year I plan on building a gaming pc with an i5 6600 non k and overclocking it with the bios updates

Should I get an air or water cooler? I'd like to baseclock overclock the chip to 4-4.5 ghz with reasonable voltage and maximum temperatures being around 75-80c

Please respond with your cooler suggestions

Thank You

no guarantee you can even get to 4GHz by BCLK

what cooler you get depends on your budget and if you prefer the loos of air or water cooling better

The overclocking with bios updates uses multiplier, not BCLK.

Budget and location?

My budget is $1200-1300 including all peripherals and I live in the US

I prefer water cooling but I can live with an air cooler also

Overclocking on skylake locked chips is done with baseclock and not multiplier because the multiplier is locked on locked chips

I thought ASRock's overclocking allowed you to change multiplier. Otherwise, can't (almost) all boards change BCLK regardless of CPU?
