Air cooler for 8700k

[calluM]

Whats a good/the best air-cooler for an i7-8700k?

Not planning to overclock it, just want it as cold as air cooling possibly can do.

i have scythe cooler...alpenphön is nice too(if they have 8700k coolers). my scythe cooler is scythe mugen 3 b and it is cooling an amd phenom cpu...i love it. for sure you should get a big one: more silent.

there no special coolers for certain CPU's. There only coolers that fit to certain socket. In this case LGA-1151. So literally every cooler will fit.

If you look for the ebst espacially for Overclocking:

-BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4
-Noctua NH-D15

Both cool better then 280mm AiO Watercoolers

Just need a beefy enough cooler that can handle more TDP tolerance then the CPU can output at max loads.
