Found a used Dark rock TF for $50 Canadian. After taxes, the 212 would be similarly priced. Which would be better for a i5 6500 that would be overclocked. ATX mid tower build, with 5 case fans and plenty of airflow.

Overclocking i5 6500? You can't do that.

Base clock overclcocking exists for those who have the custom bioses and supported motherboards. managed to get an extra GHZ on the stock heatsink too. Could have definitely done more, but i didnt bother to try without a good cooler., i just ran it long enough for a quick geekbench. The Asus z170 board i have didnt have any bios updates on it, so the method wasnt patched yet. 

 

And thanks guys, picking up the dark rock tomorrow!
