Hello, i'm new to the Hardforum oc community, i'm building a new system, and humbly ask for advice.

I have bougth an Intel i7 6700k cpu, a gigabyte z170x gaming 5 motherboard, gskill trident z 3000 ddr4 2x8 ram, and i have my old p182 case and seasonic s12 powersuply, the graphic card is a msi 760 gtx.

I Know that my case is old but my budget is pretty low right now, i plan to upgrade maybe in 6 months to a fractal design 5 case.

In the future i plan to do some oc, nothing too extreme.

Right now my doubt is what cooler to buy, my room temp is 30 Celsius degrees, so i dont know if a coolermaster 212x will be enought.

What advice can you give me? Excuse my bad english, and thanks in advance.
 
I have not found the reeven justice, i live in Spain, Europe, do you have an alternative? Thanks!
 
I cannot find any retailers in EU. youd have to import it I guess.
 
yeah any of the noctua units, the u12 and higher, will also be good but they are twice as expensive as a 212.
 
importing a 212 is going to add VAC fees and whatever else. Noctua may be worth looking into.
 
Noctua is german right? You should have access to that.
Noctua CPU Cooler [NH-U12S]
Austrian, like Schwartzenegger. It would be easier to.give us a link to one of the stores in Spain. You could also check rue-montgallet.com the paradise of hardware in Europe.
