[Endrit]

Hi guys I am planning on building a PC , just gonna ask which air cooler is best for Intel i7-4790K, not planning on overclocking right now but I might in the future.

Thanks for any suggestion.

Budget?

The Hyper 212 Evo from Cooler master is pretty good whether you are overclocking or not. Keeps your cpu pretty cool. Its $25 on amazon atm. There are a couple other ones that are better than it but they are more expensive and there is to much of an improvement from the evo.

Well looking one for under 100$ but even if it's a good one but it's couple of dollars more I will buy it.

If you're not planning on oc'ing, why not stick with the stock cooler?

I did so, before, and reached around a 100 degrees Celsius on the CPU. I will always recommend a going with a good CPU cooler and good CPU cooling paste. I have a NH-D15 at the moment and I would not switch it for the world. I max out at less than 70 degrees. I recommend a moderately priced cooler, which would do the job. For example, one of these: Cryorig H5 or H7, Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo, BeQuiet Dark Rock or the Noctua NH-U9S. I have not had any of these coolers myself, but I believe the good reviews they have gotten.

100c is much too high even for the stock cooler. It may have been due to an improper mount of lack of proper case airflow.
