Low Profile Cooler for i7 6700k

[Cython]

Hi 

Simple question  

What low profile cooler should I buy for a i7 6700k (for a bit of overclocking ) 

I got 61mm of space. 

And water-cooling is not a option do to room issues.

intel stock heatsink

it might cost you some because its one of the premium products for your application

The most you could probably get would be a noctua l9. At that height everything is just a quieter stock cooler.

Water cooling as in custom loop or aio solution? Also What kind of room issues?

But for air, stock heatsink will fit, although 6700k doesn't ship with one so you'd have to buy it yourself. Also, the Noctua NH-L series coolers are very low profile.

The l9i isn't rated for its TDP. 95w compared to the 65w TDP that the L9i can handle!

Cryorig C7 fits just about anywhere.

there isnt any good coolers under 61mm tbh...

the l12 is 66mm i believe

Actually, there is. Here's a list:

So maybe you've seen the linus tech tips video comparing gtx 980ti and furry x in a mini itx case 

And I'm planing on building a mini itx pc ( same case shown in the video) 

And because im going with a furry x i need a air cooled cpu cooler.

 

How much watts of heat dose a oc i7 output

rated TDP 91W, i'd say 100W-ish

GeminII M4 is the best apart from Shuriken

what about ARCTIC Freezer 11 LP its rated for 100w ? 

And about 20$

I bought an Arctic CPU cooler once.

 

I won't make that mistake again.

What was the problem ?

It sucked, basically. Only a few degrees better than the stock cooler no matter what I did.

Very low-profile cooler isn't really ideal for overclocking, unless you don't mind high CPU temperature.

 

Noctua NH-L9i is a big no no for overclocking for a 4-core K CPU(don't know why people keep recommend it). 6700K will turbo to 4.2Ghz. Equals to mild overclocking to other K CPUs. Even the slightly bigger NH-L9x65 can barely keep the CPU temp under 75C with turbo on when the ambient temp is a bit on the high side.

Thx,

I'll be fine with high tempratures
