Hi folks.
Im getting a new build, so far its looking good. Now i have to pick the right cooler, i was going for hyper 212 but i found that cryorig h7 was better for a small premium. What cooler would you recommend to oc an i5 6600k? My budget is very limited but i could spend a bit more than 35 bucks if needed.
Looking forward to hearing from you

Hey there! I've been using the CRYORG H7 for almost a year and I can say it's a great cooler. I have my 6600k overclocked to 4.2Ghz. Idle temps are in the mid 20C and under load about 40C. My case is a Fractal R4 which doesn't have the best airflow so I'm pleasantly surprised by the H7. Another thing I will say is that it looks much better imho than the 212. Hope that helps

I have a 212 evo and my 6600k is at 4.6Ghz 1.275v with max temps around 60C. I was thinking about upgrading to the Cryorig H5. Nice looking cooler, a lot like the H7. IMO I would get the H7 over the 212 evo

i went for the Cryorig Mi'9 because H7 wasnt in stock at the time, H7 was better bang for the buck but im still happy with the purchase, i will get the pieces in 1 week so ill tell you how it goes.
