CPU Cooler

Hello, 

     I've started a new build that uses an I7 6700k and an Asus MAXIMUS VIII RANGER ATX LGA1151 Motherboard, my question is what would be the best Cpu fan for this setup?

depends on your budget for one -- and case clearance

As in you've already build the PC, or you're going to build the PC? because you could just a get 5820K for around the same price

Also what case?

For a fan, under $100USD.

This is my build in progress and it's a Fractal Define R5.

You'd be looking at the Noctua NH-D15, beQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 or the Cryorig R1 Ultimate.

So you haven't bought the parts yet?

Probably something noctua for around 100 bucks, or an HR-22 if you're feeling insane

Well why the K part? As the i7 6700 turbos to 4ghz, and is going to give you pretty comparable performance for much less

 

and you don't need RAM that fast at all, and there's probably a good reason that 2TB hitachi drive is 50 bucks, it's most likely a used data center drive

as for that GPU, do you already have a 4k or 1440p 144hz display? because if not there's no reason to buy any high end GPU, and you should wait for the 3rd party cards anyways, they'll be cheaper with better coolers

I don't overclock any of my parts, the RAM is for future proofing, the drive is one that Paul's Hardware recommended and I am going to wait for EVGA's ACX SSC version of the 1080.

Why are you buying overclocking parts if you aren't going to overclock? buy the i7 6700 with an H170 board or something then if you want the extra PCI-e

how is the RAM future proof at all? and future proofing isn't very real, you're going to get effectively no performance difference from 2133mhz RAM in 99% of workloads

I should have phrased my reply better, I do plan on overclocking with these parts, just haven't with my current set up.

So then why not get a 5820K instead? that makes more sense to OC because it only turbos to 3.6ghz, a 6700K really probably isn't going to end up much faster than a 6700 when it's all said and done probably sitting at 4.5ghz

I'll probably end up getting it just can't find it on pcpartpicker.

Also check out the sabertooth X99 board, though it's a bit pricey

Not the  R1. The Thermalright TRUE Spirit 140 POWER is quieter and performs the same as the R1U for the price of the H5.
