I'm new to building PCs and would appreciate some help finding a reliable yet affordable CPU cooler for my setup. Here are the specs I've gathered so far:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-6700 at 3.4 GHz
- GPU: GT 1030
- RAM: 4 sticks of 16 GB RAM
- Motherboard: B250M Bazooka
Any suggestions?

Hey! Since you’re building a budget PC, I’d recommend looking for an LGA 1151 Intel stock cooler. You can usually find them pretty cheap, even used! They should be reliable enough for what you're aiming for.
Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely check that out.
Thermalright air coolers are pretty solid and aren't too expensive. They do a great job cooling without breaking the bank.
Thanks for the tip! I'll look into those as well.
I actually found a new one for about $9 on eBay. It’s the Intel E97379-003, compatible with multiple Intel sockets.
