A situation with Cooling

[Princess Luna]

I'm getting back at the wonderful world of PC after a few years stuck with a laptop soon, I have the desire to have a very high end gaming rig and will buy next week an i5 6600k and a z170M/PLUS, the system will be installed on a Sharkoon ATX VG4-W

Which seems to offer a nice cooling, it has fans making the airs go in in front and out on the back, just to finish the build, it's a 700w PSU 8gb ram in dual channel and a GTX 560 Ti (Yeah I ran out of money for this go but I plan a gtx1060 futurely, as for I plan going with a 2560x1080 monitor); I accept any suggestions about this stuff but let's go to the real matter here:

I really ran out of money with the stuff bought and I couldn't make it to a proper heatsink for the cpu, all I have is a given to me Intel Core 2 Duo Stock Heatsinker, and I got like a 3 dollars thermal paste. I would like to know if this considerably old heat-sink (It is however completely clean, well cared) be enough for the i5 6600k for like a month or two, not planning on OC it before I can buy a proper heat-sink, also I accept suggestions on possible ones, I prefer Air ones, water seems too much trouble to me.

This is my first post ever so if I made some mistake please let me know.

Core 2 Duo Stock Heatsink

from memory; there was a huge difference between the dual and quad core heatsinks; the quad was twice the size. The 2-core core2duo was 65W TDP, your i5 is 91W TDP. Also i dont know if the heatsink will fit on the socket/motherboard

i would go for cryorig H7, its just as good as the hyper 212 evo if not better but h7 has great ram clearance but can be hard to install unless you take the mobo out of the case

I just looked up the core2duo quad and its TDP starts at 95W so that should work if it even fits on the motherboard

It looks fairly closer to a nowadays i7 stock cooler than the i5 one, its bottom is made of copper.

Thats looks like the quad core cooler. the dual core one was tiny.

You should be good if the pins fit?

they probably do or so it seems from the picture of the motherboard, so perhaps this is a quad core one, it's strange because it was working for a core 2 duo, regardless lucky me, and running this heatsink for 2 months won't stress out the CPU then? This is good news, Also @Abyssal, I looks at the fan it seems like the natural high end choice, though I'll admit I was considering something flat for looks like the spoiler down there, for a "safe overcloacking" maybe a 4,3ghz on this 6600k would it make too much of a difference between picking something like this HTPC-200 instead?

If your core 2 duo heatsink fits the holes on the skylake board, it'll do fine. Might be slightly louder and warmer, but definitely won't burn anything.

What is your budget for cooler and sites you will be looking at? Budget with same currency as sites, if you can. I think you are good with any LGA115x stock cooler for now and you can downclock or set manual voltage to limit temps. For cooler I would go for something bit better than cooler you've linked. Its for non-OC builds and really limited spaces like HTPCs. Your case can fit 160mm coolers. If you still want downdraft style, there are good options from Cryorig, Phanteks and Noctua.

I don't have much trouble with budget, here in my country(Brazil, currency BRL) payment of salary is made monthly that's why I might have to wait a month or two with the stock cooler, but after that I really want a cooler capable of a decent but not exaggerated OC on the 6600k, I do prefer the flat style but I won't let aesthetic get over performance, I gave some looks and the CoolerMaster Hyper T4 RR-T4-18PK-R1 seems interesting for its price, any thoughts on it?

T4 is good basic cooler. There are better ones, like Cryorig H7 and M9i. But it will do the job and let you OC a bit.
