Hi all,

 

Request your assistance again my liquid cooling for core i5 6600k failed and the cpu shutdown due to it.

 

Due to financial issues cannot afford one at this time. Please suggest if if any of the below mentioned coolers can do the job, the motherboard is ASUS STRIX Z270F Gaming.

 

Antec A30 CPU Radiator

Cooler Master Hyper 212

Cooler Master Hyper 103 Essential CPU Air cooler

Cooler Master Hyper 212X

 

or any other for the price range. My Budget is limited at this time.

 

I am open to suggestions the above mentioned are just the ones that can be found within my budget in INDIA.

 

Thanks for suggestions.

I would go with either the Cooler Master 212 or 212X. The deciding factor would be the price difference since the cooling performance difference isn't that big

The 212 EVO is a solid budget cooler and you can't really go wrong with it, hence why it's so massively popular.

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

212X if it isn't much higher price than 212. It has slightly better fan, which in CMs mind usually means $15 higher price.
