Recommend a cooler for P400a & 10600K

[Katch]

So I ordered a NZXT Kraken z63 for my new build and I chickened out after reading a lot of bad reviews of the unavoidable CAM software and refused the delivery.

Can anyone recommend and air cooler for this build?

why not a different AIO if thats the route you want to go down?

I wanted the cash burn bling of the LCD display... Then on closer inspection of the case specs I realised it can't take the rad in the top and then I'd lose the 3 RGB fans in the front.... and on and on etc. So decided to go air for simplicity.

Thoughts on a Noctua NH-U12S?

Ugly but good cooler .

Get the NOCTUA NH-U12S CHROMAX PURE BLACK version much better looking.

Take a look at some of the at the sythe coolers they are are excellent value.

I'd fit a 360 at the front then. **** RGB

This is exactly what I've gone for. I feel like I just saved myself over £120.

I'll have this argument with myself again another day.
