Well, I have a predicament. I have a msi z170 a pro motherboard, and I get my fancy used i5 6600k off eBay, and I smugly fire up Intel extreme burn test. and I skyrocket up to 100C on maximum. Not good. I'm using a deepcool gammaxx 400, and I'm wondering if anybody has a cooling suggestion under eighty dollars US to help improve this. Also, let me point out that I'm using hardware monitor to record this, and I'm not sure if that maxes out at 100c. Thanks!

 

PS, I have never watercooled before. So while I'm not against it, I would like an AIO that is easy to install.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not sure if it has the right mounting hardware for an i5 6600k/lga 1151 socket. If that isn't true, please let me know.

It does come with the mounting hardware for lga 1151, it will probably be referred to as 115x because the last number doesn't matter in this case.

I was about to correct myself, thanks. Can't believe I missed that. Thanks!
