Agreed, but given the fact he already has a similar cooler to the 212 evo he might be better off with something a bit stronger? You reckon the H7 or something a bit more powerful?
The 212 EVO and the H7 are both superior to the TX3, additionally they both cool to within a couple degrees of each other. The TX3 is good as a stock replacement and for minor OCing, the EVO and H7 are both good through about 4.6 on most Skylakes much the same as they were on Haswell. Have used a number of H7s and well over a 100 EVOs on builds

Provided you're getting the k version of the 6700k, you want to overclock that thing, as you can easily achieve 4.5ghz with not much voltage increase. At full load, that cooler will make the GPU hit the 80c+ mark, but it is unlikely that you will ever hit full load on games.
You should get a solid 75-80c gaming, but if you want cooler temps than that ( I would, as 80c is the threshold for uncomfortable temps for me), the Cryorig H7 is a great place to start, and the Deepcool Gamerstorm Assassin II is a better higher end CPU cooler that performs on similar levels to the
Noctua DH-15 without obscuring RAM slots or being as pricy.

I dont plan in OCing anytime soon tbh and was wondering if the cooler will be fine for now since I already have it, I have a 212 in my old broke down pc I plan on transfering that one to my new pc in the coming months.
I feel I should mention I also will have a 970 superclocked gpu since gpu temp was mentioned
