Any recommended cooler for i5-8600?

[DustHaze]

Hey guys so I'm building a PC and I was wondering whats the recommended Cooler for the i5-8600 and also which TDP you think it will handle this CPU in gaming.

This PC will be only for gaming so keep this in mind,

I will appreciate any suggestions.

That thing wont put out much heat, since you cant overclock it. So really it depends on a cooler you like to looks of. You would be fine with a CM 212, Cryorig H7, Be Quiet Pure Rock, or anything in that tier.

Stock heatsink. Spend your money on something else.

is the Cryorig H5 good enough?

Get whichever is cheaper between these 3 CM 212, Be Quiet Pure Rock, Cryorig H7.

Personally i'd choose the H7 cause the other are so freakin ugly

too overkill

Cooler Master Hyper T2 maybe?

Thats enough yes but its a small cooler with 8cm fan  i believe (expect loud fan noise) and the bearing aren't that good..like i said get whichever cheaper between those 3 cooler i mentioned above

Since you aren't overclocking, the stock will be fine. Avoid the 212, or anything smaller, as it doesn't perform much better than stock heatsink.

what do you recommend then?

Cryorig H7 is overkill but looks nice and will run very quiet.

You'd really only upgrade the cooler for better looks and noise levels. Performance doesn't really matter in this case.

As i said H7 simply because it perform similar as the pure rock but looks better aesthetically

But this PC is gonna be for gaming and I want to extend the life span of the CPU by adding a good cooler, what do you recommend other than the stock cooler?

It won't really matter. Stock cooler would be enough but its going to be louder and the temp will be higher but its still safe to use.

I only care about performance and I thought if I added a better cooler I might extend its life span and I will get maybe a consistent FPS by having cool temps.

Nothing. High heat is only a killer for the silicon once you start closing in on its Tjmax. Put the money into another component like your storage, case, or GPU.

Intel CPUs don't work this way. Modern GPUs do perform better the cooler they are though.

Ok thanks

@chckovsky @ARikozuM @Ya_Mi @AHaskin14  Thanks for all of your guys opinions it really helped me a lot.

Lifespan doesn't work like that. With CPUs its already 10+ years just by running it with set limits. For which stock cooler is designed for. You are gonna feel need to replace CPU before it dies. In real life you can only shorten lifespan and even that usually is seen by OC capabilities being lower if chip is run with high voltages and/or temps for long periods. Which won't be issue with locked chip. To kill CPU you would need to constantly drive it to over 100C, just under auto-shutdown limit.
