CPU VS. COOLER!!!

[Adisaur]

Hey guys! I'm building my first PC and was wondering whether to buy a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo cooler. I won't be overclocking 1000000% though. If I chose to buy this cooler however, I will have to change my CPU from an i5 6600 down to an i5 6500. Personally I don't think it's worth it but just thought to post it on this forum just in case.

 

Thanks! <3

You don't need an aftermarket cooler with a locked chip.

Don't worry about an aftermarket cooler with a locked chip unless you want it for silence. In which case, the hyper 212 is not the way to go.

If you care about silence then go with a 6500+Cryorig H7, if the stock cooler doesn't bother you, then go with an i5-6500 and save the money. An i5-6600 isn't worth paying more than a few dollars extra for.

If you don't care too much about silence and aren't getting an OC'ing chip? Intel stock cooler that comes with the CPU.

Is the Cryorig H7 compatible with an LGA1151 board?

You know a 6600 is locked, right? You need a 6600K to OC, and you need a Z170 motherboard.

Do you find the stock cooler too loud?

Sorry, misinterpreted your OP as not going to go for a psychotic overclock, just a mild one. Understood now.

 

If silence is your thing, the H7 is $30 on Newegg right now. There are plenty of cheap downdraft coolers like the one I have on Ikaros (link in my sig) or there for $10-15 that are quieter than stock, and there are pricier downdrafts like the Cryorig C7 that are virtually inaudible.
