Best CPU Cooler?

Nonscrub · Apr 28, 2016

What would be the best CPU cooler for the i5 6600k for a slight overclock, $30-$40 budget, maximum $50.

BadActor · Apr 28, 2016

Hands down, the Cryorig H7.

Air cooler, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=13C-000X-00037&cm_re=hyper_x_212-_-13C-000X-00037-_-Product

Great cooling, dead silent, in most cases performes as good as a liquid cooler. And less parts to fail unlike a liquid cooler.

Evo version performs similary and is cheaper

I need a final opinion, Cryorig or CM?

The C7 is a low profile for ITX builds. The H7 is a standard design. It's designed for case and RAM clearance, so will fit in tighter cases.

The CM is cheaper, and it performs well too. For OCing it's good.

Reviews from 2011 and May 2015.
Does not include the Cryorig, because it was not released yet. (yes, the H7 was released in Jan 2015, but was it included against the 212?)

Time marches on, and the best last year may not be the best today.

I'd go with the Cryorig H7.

JQB45 · Apr 28, 2016

Cryorig H7.

I own a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO and like it but its not the best in your price range, the Cryorig H7 is.

Plus the CM 212 Evo is a pain in the ___ to install.

This review shows the H7 beating the 212 Evo.

I did a build with it recently, fairly simple install process, really simple with 2 people. Good performance on the i5 6500.

The 212 in comparison is a down right PITA to install.

AvidEx · Apr 28, 2016

I'd go with a Cryorig H7, its suited for ram and case clearance.

azaran · Apr 28, 2016

Go with the H7. Better cooling, lower profile, doesn't overhang RAM slots. The only downside is it's similar to the Evo for installing, which JQB45 mentioned is a bit of a hassle.
