Hello! I am building a PC in near future and i have all the components somewhat chosen. So i ran into a problem as i am kinda new in PC building. Im not sure which heatsink to buy. I know that will be going for air cooling but i really dont know what i should get. 

 

The processor i am going for is i7 8700k and i am going to do some minor overclocking. My case is phanteks p400s and my Mobo will be MSI Z370-a pro. 

 

So back to the question, what processor cooler should i buy? 

Cheers 

Also sorry for some possible typos its 2 am here in Finland an im a bit tired :D

My budget is around 100$ish. Looks are always nice bonus but are not something that i need. And for silence, i dont really care as long as its does its job

DRP3 or NH-D15 are the best :)

Cryorig H5 Ultimate, H7 personally have the H5 and it does an excellent job and comes in under your budget.  Keeps my Ryzen 5 1600 down under 70 degrees under load while OC'd at 3.9Ghz 1.376v.

 

Cheers
