I have a personal build I'm putting together with an i3-6100 + GTX 950. I was planning on using a new Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO that I have lying on my shelf. But then I recalled all those reports of people bending Skylake CPUs while installing heatsink/CPU coolers, due to Intel's ridiculous cost cutting. I also happen to have a new Corsair H110i GTX, which is sitting on the shelf next to the Hyper 212 EVO. I hate to waste a $100 AIO cooler on an i3 CPU, where excess heat won't be an issue. But I also foresee myself one day selling the i3, and I'd hate to find out that I accidentally damaged it.
