Intel Core i7 6700 cooling solution

[k2711000]

Hi!

I'm using the stock cooler from intel for my i7 6700 and recently I have started uploading vids on youtube so I have to render (duh), when I am rendering the temps go as high as 85 degrees Celcius (176 degrees fahrenheit for you muricans). Should I consider a watercooling solution (I am thinking of the corsair h100i v2) or go with a decent aircooling solution (Noctua NH D15)? I have a budget of 170euros, please help! Where I live the corsair h100i v2 costs 170 euro and the Noctua NH D15 costs 110 euro so which is the best bang for my buck?

I bought a Noctua Nh-U14S with my i7 6700K. Silent and effective award winning cooler. Im very happy with it, and my i7 does not go over 74C at 4,3Ghz at 100% load in several hours.

85c is alright for load temps.

I personally use a Hyper D92, its cheap, better than the Hyper 212 evo, and keeps my 6700k at 4.6ghz under 70*C while folding with all the horsepower it can. AIO liquid coolers are nice, but a pain in the ass to deal with when they fail and dont offer enough performace compared to an air cooler to justify their price. I owned an GTx h100i and it was good while it lasted, but the backplate is garbage and it doesnt seem to secure very well, as mine loosened up over time.

I have a cryorig H7 on my 6600k oc to 4.2 ghz does a great job at cooling stays at 56C on prime95 smallFTT so im sure it will work wonders for you on a locked i7 from skylake heres the link https://www.amazon.com/CRYORIG-H7-Tower-Cooler-Intel/dp/B00S7YA5FQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467420998&sr=8-1&keywords=cryorig+H7

Since you have the 6700 and not the K, Id say just go with a decent air cooler. Getting an AIO on a locked chip is just a waste of money since you cant get any real benefits, aka overclocks.

As it is a locked CPU, you won't even need a Noctua NH-D15... This might be ideal for you - Noctua NH-U9S (approx. 55 euros)

As you can see, it's got excellent reviews from everyone who bought it. Excellent value with superb performance!
