So I'm about to order either a Hyper TX3 or a Corsair H60.

I will be moving the computer back and fourth from my house to base, how solid are the heatsinks that use the snap on pins?

I like the reviews I'm reading on the H60 and it looks a lot nicer than a big fan and heat sink hanging off the motherboard.

Should I be concerned about it potentially leaking?

Right now I just have a i3 6100 but I'm getting a 6600k if they ever go on sale (black Friday maybe).

H60 is less stress on the cpu when moving the pc.

when you get a 6600k, get a bigger cooler too

but yes, H60 is a lot better

Cancel the H60 and get the new H45 instead if it's available. It beats the H60, and the Hyper 212 EVO.

My numbers are even lower than that review, idle around 20-23C and full load temps 35-40C. Non overclocked i5-6500.

Maybe it's only available in Europe at the moment then, there are hardly any reviews for it and no videos on youtube either, luckily I got it on offer at £40, it's back up to just over £50 now, and for reference a Hyper 212 EVO is about £30, TX3 is just under £20.

Just out of interest, why were you choosing between a H60 and a Hyper TX3? The TX3 isn't in the same performance or price range as a 212/H60. For me, a 212 EVO or any other decent air cooler would not fit in my case. So I went for liquid cooling and I'm happy with the result, temps are very low and I'd be confident with overclocking now.

The 212 wouldn't fit so I was just going for a smaller heatsink or liquid

I use a H100i v2 with my 6600K. It's fantastic.
