I5 10600K provides strong cooling performance.
Hey there! Upgrading from an i5 6400 to the i5 10600K sounds like a big step. For a cooler, the Hyper TX3 EVO might not be sufficient given your case size and the need for higher performance. You might want to look into more powerful options to handle the increased heat output.
Could you try a higher-quality option, like the 212 Black Edition?
The issue is that this model is only slightly too large for your situation, yet it could still be a suitable cooler.
10600k demands high performance, particularly when trying to boost its speed. The tx3 model is fairly basic and isn't ideal for such a powerful processor.
I’d suggest a compact cooler under 156mm tall—something with a sleek design and efficient cooling to fit your space.
Choose NH-D14 or NH-U12S based on your budget or available space. If constraints apply, go with NH-U9S or NH-D9L.
