Posted March 23, 2017 So I'm in the process of upgrading my computer. I ordered the cpu (i7 6700) and psu (evga 750w b2) I was planning on ordering the water cooler (corsair h80 v2) and motherboard ( Asus z170 pro gaming aurora) next month. I guess I have a couple of questions. Would the new cpu be okay in my msi b150 pc mate with the stock intel cooler if I wanted to swap it out with my current cpu and sell it? Also is the water cooler and the psu overkill for what my setup is going to be? I have 2 8gb 2133 sticks of ram, 2 1tb 7200 rpm hdd, 1 ssd and an Asus 1070 coming. If anybody else has different recommendations I'm all open. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 23, 2017 6700 or 6700k? your post and title contradict. if 6700, the stock cooler will be fine. if 6700k, it would be fine with a stock one but you couldnt(or rather, shouldnt) try to overlock.

Posted March 23, 2017 It depends on which processor the stock cooler came from. If it was from a 95W TDP Intel part, it should be fine. But if was from anything lower, then you probably don't want to run anything heavy on the processor. EDIT: If you ordered a i7-6700K thinking it comes with a cooler, it doesn't. But if you have another to use, then the above applies I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 23, 2017 If its the 6700k (As mentioned in the title) then it won't have a stock cooler, if its the 6700 (Mentioned in the post) then it will be fine to use as long as you don't overclock it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All non-K parts on Skylake are 65W TDP, and I'm going to assume Intel only ships what barely works. I have a blog!

So far I'm gathering I should wait for the rest of the components to come in i guess. Anybody else think I should use a different cooler besides the one I listed or if my psu is overkill?

Posted March 24, 2017 I would just recommend an aftermarket cooler.

Your psu is overkill unless you're running two or more graphics cards. The H80i v2 is good. Any reason why you're looking at this cooler as opposed to any others? What are the rest of your specs? The stock cooler is fine with some undervolting but might not keep up if you leave the voltage at Auto.

Posted March 24, 2017 The stock cooler is sufficient as long as you don't overclock. You won't be hitting the 95W TDP if you don't overclock, so you'll be fine until then.

Why replace your psu? You mean 6700k, right? You should try to be a bit more consistent or else it gets confusing. There's no point in following a video build just to follow it. If you have the option, picking the best fit for the job. What case do you have?

Posted March 24, 2017 Author Yeah I mean 6700k. I keep forgetting they have non k ones. Seems pointless to me to get a non k 6600 or 6700 cpu. Just my opinion. My case is a phanteks ethos pro m I believe. I want to replace the psu because 1. Will it be enough if I overstock and 2. Im not sure but is corsair cx 500m good enough for the setup I want to upgrade to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 24, 2017 Author I'm just not sure how many watts OCing produces but if the current psu is good enough for the build I want that would be good. I could get a different part a lot sooner.

I could get a different part a lot sooner. You're usually increasing the voltage on the millivolt. It isn't like to add another 100W per OC part. For reference, my personal PC uses ~430W on max load to the CPU/GPU/disks at once.
