Which cpu cooler should i get for my i5-7600k in Zalman Z3-Plus

rea66

Hello. As I described in the title I need suggestions about cpu coolers. I have MSI Z270 Pro Carbon mobo and i5-7600k Cpu. I've been suggested 2 coolers;

1-) Cooler Master Hyper 212Evo

2-) Zalman CNPS10X Optima

 

I'm not gonna push the limits with the cpu by overclocking. What should I buy and what would you suggest beside these?

The only limitation in that regard for the Zalman Z3 Plus is that the cooler might be around 158mm tall maximum, talking from personal experience here.

 

As for the cooler, get the Be Quiet! Pure Rock, it's a good alternative to the overrated 212 Evo

Pure Rock Slim or regular one ? Also off-topic are those Led Vengeance rams good? Planning to buy.

A regular one. The slim one is a worse performer.

 

As for the RAM, yeah they're amazing. They look dope and overclock very well, my kit is 2666MHz natively in XMP, I just set all of the values in BIOS to the values of the 3200MHz kit of exactly the same RAM just higher-clocked and higher-priced, tested it and it's rock-stable. Would recommend and buy again 10/10.

i have used the pure rock on my second system for a while with no issues it's really quiet and looks great for the price. You can also do some overclocking with it. RIP turkish prices

RIP. I was planning to do overclock but is there really that much difference between water cooling and air cooling ?
