I have this cooling my 6600k oc'd to 4.3 really good cooler, not the smallest but good, and black instead of all the shiny metallic ones.

Cheers mate that looks like a beast, overkill for my needs though tbh. I will be running at stock. I want something more aesthetically pleasing than the stock Intel cooler and something that runs really quiet..

I have the above cooling an 4670k in an matx build, set the fan speed via the bios and you will have a quiet, compact, smart little cooler.

Push pin like stock Intel but I had no issues.

I like that, push pins make it even easier to install so it's all good lol. My number one choice atm.

Cheers guys checking those out, quite like this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/noctua-nh-l9x65-low-profile-performance-cpu-cooler-hs-032-nc.html.

Would it fit ASUS H170M-PLUS ok?

Thanks for the help guys, glad I didn't get around to picking one yet. Was having a clear out today and I stumbled upon this old thing in storage.

Wasn't sure if it would even fit the socket or the case, but I managed to get it in with a lil room to spare as well.

Temps have dropped and much prefer the look of this over the stock cooler (Yuk). GPU temps seem to have dropped as well lol, especially under load. Max CPU load temp 50C under Intel extreme burn test.

Chuffed with this saved me ordering anything else. Cheers guys.
