CPU coolers

Has anyone here tried this cooler?
It looks like an upgraded version of Hyper 212 with double fans and LED for aesthetic, but I searched and found very few videos and reviews of it.
Also post your favorite air coolers idle CPU temps. My R5 1600 is at 40C with the stock wraith spire, currently looking for an aftermarket one.

Is there nobody interested in air cooling anymore?
Fuck the watercool meme

what would be the best cooler i could get for a r7 1700 that is under ~£75 that i could slightly oc with? im using stock at the moment but i fear that if i oc it wont be enough

its alright. its louder but not at peak cooling. slightly better than the wraith max. the leds are what i hate about it personally.

for ~75 pounds that would probs be the d15. best air cooler made

check this one

Get a Noctua NH-D15 instead

>b-but mah ram
stop getting such high profile ram

copping a cryorig 5 uni

how bad even is the ram clearance issue? i looked at the site but i cant really tell. apparently my board should be fine but im using dual channel (4 dimms) and they have head spreads that are actually a little tall

Hyper 212X here, pretty good if you ask me.

>LED for aesthetic
Stop this fucking trend already.

Is it compatible with AM4 socket?

come on, dont be a retard. use google for such an easy question

If youre worrying about the ram that much and you cant return the cooler then I suggest getting a d15s

i mean i can return it but id rather not. i could just take the second fan off and mount it on the other side right?

It's fucking huge.

im almost 100= certain that i would have to use it single fan mode. the only difference is the d15s has only one fan right? in that case ill just buy it since its the exact same price where i am. the question is can i get better sound / performance for a comparable price? from an air cooler i think not and dont aios run loud?

Will i run into cooling or sound issues doing this?

holy fuck

Hyper X and ryzen user here.

Pretty good cooler, however, if you go with standard kit your cooler will face upward and you cant install 4 channel ram.

AIOs are just a little more flexible to use, you don't have 100 different clearances to worry about.

why does it face upward? would it fit both channels without the second fan?

All you need is X shape upgrade kit.

stock is enough up to 3.9-4ghz
you shoudlnt go over that anyway as zen is designed for < 3ghz
try undervolting, i got mine to 0.9v 3ghz and is at 40c at full load with 10% fan

Reality check sweetie.

If you have a post sandy bridge intel cpu, it doesn't matter how high end your cooler or thermal compound is since the bottleneck will be at intel's compound between the die and the IHS.

>red LEDs on a cooler
madman

>he doesnt use rainbow for medium temps and ok fps
plz

I have white LEDs and my machine has frozen

I have the single fan version of this cooler on a R7. Can anyone recommend some decent software to monitor CPU temps?

Sorry if this is a dumb seeming question, I'm a recently converted mac peasant who just built his first PC since bush was in office -- so I'm pretty out of the loop.

speccy, hwinfo64

If i dont care about looks or noise, whats the best air cooler i can get my hands on for something like an R7 1800x?

>tfw unironically use yellow LED's
>half my family is dead

But it has cutouts in the heatsink for RAM compatibility, so it's irrelevant.

Depends on what you want to do I suppose.
I'd never pay more for a version with LEDs personally.
I like pic related right now because I'm on B350

There are plenty of massive heatsinks that do a good job. I think people like the D15 or the Grand Macho these days

Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT is pretty much king of the air coolers right now from what I've heard. About to upgrade to one.

Thermaltake Nic C5
>230W

lmao
D15 or nothing.

Some of us buy from good companies.

It's within a degree of the D15 for $10 cheaper. It's smaller, clears ram better, and uses only 1 fan. Cools considerably better than the D15 when overclocking.
Also doesn't have shit brown fans.

I use a D15 with my 1800X.

It is because stock HSF is pretty darn good for the most part.

Most of the lower-end nad mid-tier tower coolers can handle any of desktop chips. You may need something better if you want to overclock an HEDT-tier chip (Threadripper/i9)

Just get a below 95TDP CPU and don't overclock it (or get a modest overclock and undervolt heavily) and then slap a fanless cooler on that.

>fanless cooler

For below 95TDP they work perfectly, no thermal throttling even after an hour of prime at 30C ambient (summers are moderately hot here).

buy the king of aircooling if it has to be aircooling
But really, watercooling is much more flexible. The buy in may be a little steep, but afterwards all you need is a new adapter. And even in extreme cases like the threadrippers absurd size you just get a new CPU block and the rest of your loop is still all good.

>not buying the one and only high end air cooling solution

That's a weird picture of Cryorig

shhh... be quiet, user

>water cooling
lmao

Water cooling is a lot less flexable and more prone to failure.

Water cooling's main advantage is superior cooling/noise ratio performance.

I like this cooler, best of both worlds desu.

I heard the Scythe Fuma is pretty good for $45. Very slightly behind the ugly A F Noctua DH15

stop shitting on other people's taste, even if it is shit is not like you have 'superior' taste, nobody does, ever, let people like what they like and don't act like a bitch about it

>appearance matters

I have the same cooler on my 1700. It's tops

Yea it really is, i had the nhd15 at first but doing shit inside the case was so hard because of its size

im running a 1600x at 4.0 with the 212 led turbo. max temps at 1.375v are 68-70c in prime 95

also its worth noting that the mounting for the 212 led turbo uses the stock plastic fittings and a cam lock pressure bar (it doesnt screw into the backplate)

Using an h115i right now, and I fucking hate it. Wanted a Raijintek Tisis Core + thermaltake white riing fans. But raijintek didn't have AM4 brackets at the time. Looks like they do now, so may be ordering one. Have to look into ram clearance though with my HOF sticks. Maybe the Ereboss, I dunno. I just know I hate this AIO, so I need to get myself a good air cooler or go full custom loop.

How's your airflow in your fractal monolith?

Looks nice, but ironically isn't that quite once the thermal load increases.

It does, that's why you have no GF

>stock is enough up to 3.9-4ghz
It's enough if you OC it and then run a couple of benchmarks.

It's going to overheat like hell under any sustained use, though.

>caring about looks
>not getting the Scythe Futa

watercooling is a fancy way of saying overpriced cooling

>looks over function
this is the kind of guy that has RGB everything in his PC

so pretty
