Hey guys , i just bought my i7 7700k ,

i tried it but it was running hot 60-65c idle and 80 to 100c in games , that was because i used my old heatsink i think , but i took it off after one hour or so , now running my old cpu , so my question is whats the best cooler for it , should i go for air cooler or water or what ,

my pc is

Sapphire Radeon RX 480 8GB
GA Z170 HD3P
Psu: EVGA 700W
Case: GameMax Mid Tower

i think my case is 120mm

Nice looking case.
It has 156mm available for an air cooler.
Cryorig H7 is probably your best bet.
It is only 145mm tall yet still used a 120mm fan.

You could look into the Cryorig H7 cooler for air or look at AIO watercoolers from Corsair and the likes, they should perform the same and have the same price. The only distinction would be the bling factor(RGB) and design/aesthetics.
