I7 Skylake cooler?

overlordofdoom · Jun 13, 2016

Will this cooler (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/yFdFf7/arctic-cooling-cpu-cooler-ucacoap112gbb01) be able to cool a 6700 (non k)? Thank you.

That would perform just like a stock cooler. If you want decent performance from your cooler, then go with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO linked below.

I would get a hyper 212 evo but I cant overclock this cpu -.-

The hyper 212 EVO is decent for overclocking, but will still keep the CPU cooler. Cooler temps = better performance no matter if you overclock or not.

It's not any better than the stock cooler. The Cryrid M9i is much better than the stock cooler and that arctic and will be much quieter. Plus its cheaper, easier to install, and imho better looking than the CM 212.

Thanks but it's almost 4x the price. what about this one? https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/FzfmP6/zalman-power-supply-zm500tx

If you are worried about price why not just use the stock cooler that comes with the 6700? The arctic is just a waste of money.

My I7 6700 didnt come with a cooler. I just want a cooler that will provide enough cooling for the i7.

That's a power supply not a cpu cooler.

The cooler you linked in your first post will be sufficient. jdcranke07 is incorrect when they say that "Cooler temps = better performance no matter if you overclock or not." Unless your CPU is throttling, temperature is completely irrelevant to performance.

Thank you. That's all I wanted to know.

Must have bought the OEM version(usually slightly cheaper than retail but has no cooler and a much shorter warranty). The arctic would work but its going to have similar flows to the stock cooler. It's going to get loud when under load and the cpu is going to run on the warm side. The m9i is about the cheapest aftermarket cooler I would consider. You just spend what £200+ on that i7, but are going to balk at £18 for a good cooler?

I've already squeezed my budget to it's limits, it's pretty much all I have space for.
