Cooler for 6600K
Looking for a liquid cooler suitable for 6600K? I plan to overclock it later. Corsair seems like a solid choice compared to others.
Wasting your money is not happening.
14nm skylake stays cool without fancy cooling solutions.
A basic tower air cooler with a 120 or 140mm fan will suffice.
I achieve 4.8 with a noctua NH-U12s.

I'm searching for a liquid cooler suitable for the 6600K. I plan to overclock this unit later, so Corsair seems like a solid choice. If you're aiming for AIO cooling, Corsair H100 or H110i GTX would be good options depending on your case capacity. For smaller radiators such as 120mm models, Corsair H80i V2 or H75 could work well.
I personally use the H110i GTX with my 6600K, running OC at 4.7ghz with a peak temperature of 67°C (ambient 20°C) during stress tests on prime95 small FFTs. The fans are quite loud—around 1080rpm—and become much noisier when warmed up. I keep them at higher speeds because they help maintain positive pressure in my case (NZXT S340).
