The coolermaster does a decent job at cooling the I7-6700K, if you feel worried or maybe want to invest a little more, the noctua is a great cooler and very quiet as well. Thats just my opinion, im sure someone can give a better comparison of the two coolers though!

If you are not overclocking the coolermaster is great. It should handle a small overclock. If going for a decent overclock, the noctua would be much better.
