Hi guys,

Hope you are well.

I'm upgrading my PC recently.
I5 4590 --> I7 8700K
OLD 8GB*2 RAM --> DDR4 3200 8GB*2
GIGABYTE B85M-D2V --> ASUS TUF Z390-PRO GAMING LGA1151 Motherboard

My friend also suggests me to change a more powerful cooler for the new CPU, coz he said the 8700K is quite hot, especially when it is overclocked. I won't try overclocking recently, so my aircooler is mainly for CPU's normal working. I may consider trying overclocking in months then I can upgrade other more powerful cooler if it's necessary.

I prefer the aircooler rather the watercooler because I'm not quite familiar with the installing these parts. Installing CPU, RAM is OK, but not confident about installing the watercooler. I don't want any leaks destroy the PC.

Could you guys please recommend a quality CUP aircooler for me and where I can buy it. I used to buy components form currys that's the only one PC parts website I know.

Hi mate,

Thanks for your suggestions. To be honest with you, they all look same to me... The most obvious differences between em are price and size. Anyway, I will try to find one suits me well. Thanks. Have a good day!
