Hi, I'm building my first high-end gaming pc and I have run into the issue of how I should cool my cpu (which i am planning on getting an 1151 i7 6600k) my problem is that i have no idea where i should start.
I am thinking that I should go for an air cooled system because of the horror stories that I have heard about liquid systems leaking, but apart from that, I have no idea what to go for.
I am not planning on overclocking my system.
My mobo that I have gotten for the system is a Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 and the case which I am planning to get is the CoolerMaster CM Storm Trooper.
Thanks for any help

Well its either an i5 6600k, or an i7 6700k. Theres no such thing as an i7 6600k.
For cooling, you dont need anything fancy since you wont be overclocking. You can get the tried and true 212 EVO, or Cryorig H7.

Woops lol its the 6700k, I don't know what happened there. My main concern is that my last system had overheating issues (though it only had a stock cpu fan) im not sure if was due to the age of the system, or the temp of the room i was using it in summer (up to 38 c) But again, i have no idea what i am talking about when it comes to cooling a system or the cpu.
Thanks for the quick reply
