cpu fan/heatsink for intel i5/i7

[sonoma1993]

I'm thinking of building a new computer here with either an Intel skylake i5 6600K or an i7 6700K. I may do some mild overclocking. I'm not into doing watercooling. Not to familiar with which cpu fan/heatsinks are recommended for intel systems. I've been using AMD system since the AMD Athlon cpu came out. Which ones do you guys recommend? Thank you.

Try the Intel HSF, if included, they aren't too bad. Beyond that, the CoolerMaster 212 EVO is the de rigueur bargain air cooler. If you have enough clearance in your case, something like the Noctua NH-D15 would work even better.

None is. There's better lower end coolers than the 212 Evo, but given how often the Evo pops down to $25 or $20, it's still extremely tough to beat for the price if all you plan on doing is some mild overclocking. Skylake-K doesn't pump out a huge amount of heat anyway.
