hi ive just purchased a

Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD3 Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard

does the heatsink need to be socket 1151 as i cant find any on the website.

what heatsink would you recommend at around £50 price range

thanks

Any 1150, 1155 or 1156 Cooler will fit as they all have the same size fitting.

what would you recommend around the £50 price?

not planning to overclock and possibly water just depends on price
