212 EVO or Cheap 120mm Asetek on a 5820k?

[Guest]

Yeah... I have a 212 EVO with Cougar PWM push-pull and I never get more than 50 degrees under load. I just have an extra 120mm AIO laying around from my old pre-built. Would it be worth it to swap them out? The 212 EVO is silent. I would only put the Asetek on if I would get better temps and could overclock more than the 3.8 I have with the auto tuning on my board. Thanks, guys.

Well I actually ended up loosing a lot on my old system so it was quite a stretch to get the new PC. I am probably going to get an air 540 soon because my desk isn't ideal for my R4 and my I/O is basically inaccessible. That's my dream case. I could get a new cooler now and a case later or a case now and cooler later. I still can't decide yet.

I'd use an NH-D15 or better... these haswell-E chips get hot, but the NH-D15 keeps my 5820k @ 4.7ghz at 70 degrees under full load on all cores.

 

It's worth the extra money.

but since the OP pretty much have the 212, why not use it and save the money for better cooler

Those temps... gotta love 'em. I could probably save up for a little bit to get that and then make it black. I could also get a Dark Rock Pro 3. Thanks for info from a fellow 5820k user.

Glad I could help.

You have a 5820k, but can't afford a new AIO, or custom loop?

212 evo....But you should be looking into more high end coolers for a 5820k

3.8 I have with the auto tuning on my board. Thanks, guys.

Auto tuning is probably giving all the voltage to your CPU.

 

use manual OC.

Well I just spent all of my money on the 5820k 2 weeks ago. I will either buy an H100i GTX or an Air 540 next, one now and one later.

I would say get the H100i.

 

If you want my personal opinion, scrap the GTX. The thing looks like ass.
