The 7700x's specs say that it produces 105w of heat, but does that mean that i wont be bottlenecked using a 105w cooler? I've heard that modern cpus will turbo their clock speeds right before they start overheating, so would i be missing out on performance by getting a cooler that cookie cutter fits the wattage heat output? I am going to be playing a reallly cpu intensive game called beamng drive which has soft-body physics simulation. The current cpu cooler im gonna get has 265W heat dissipation power according to its specs.

Hey guys, I am building a cheap old server for a project, and I can't seem to get the right CPU coolers. The motherboard is a Dual Xeon e5-26xxx compatible Asus Z9PA-D8: https://www.nix.ru/autocatalog/motherboards_asustek/161373_2245_draft.jpg. This board has standard LGA-2011 sockets. I've tried several LGA-2011 coolers, for example: https://gelidsolutions.com/product/rev-5-tranq, but it seems that all of them require you to install their own backplate. The CPU backplates on this motherboard are not removable. I feel retarded. The main issue is that the screws that come with the coolers are too thin and/or too long, even though the retention mechanism does line up with the holes correctly. My memory is playing tricks on me. Is this because it's a server board? For example, the screws on this cooler look correct by the shape and relative size: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284658618446, and it specifically says it doesn't come with a backplate because your motherboard should already come with one. Other server coolers look correct too: https://www.ebay.com/itm/314677372718. So what's the deal here? Are there two variants of coolers and motherboards for the LGA-2011 socket? Ones that require their own backplate, and ones that don't? I mean if that's the case, that just seems ridiculous. I don't feel like paying $80 bucks for a Nactua, but regardless, how would I know if an LGA-2011 cooler is actually compatible? Is there a specific cooler I need to look for? I don't mean a brand, I mean like a standard which is more than LGA-2011?

Hi there! I'm building my first pc and i've run into an issue while installing my cpu cooler. I'm working with a B550 Tomahawk Max motherboard and I'm trying to install a Peerless Assassin 120 SE cpu cooler for my AMD cpu. However, the standoffs that came with the Assassin 120 are not fitting onto the motherboard at all. One of the standoffs slipped on no problem, but the other three won't fit on the motherboard at all. What should I do in this situation? Any recommendations? Thank you.

Is the Phantom Spirit 120 SE capable of cooling the 7900X under multi core workload? Some tests conclude that most air coolers can't keep the 7900X under 95C while others recommend coolers like the Dark Rock 4 Pro and AK620 and the PS120SE seems to be close to them in cooling performance overall.

To start, I am typing this on my phone because I no longer am able to turn on the computer for more than a few minutes without it overheating. Things I have tried already: Check AIO for flow, check cpu-to-cooler connection, apply new thermal paste, check task manager for high processes, and clean the PC I have had this NZXT pre-built pc for years now, but only about a month or two ago did I start experiencing issues with overheating. What normally would happen is that each time I would try and fix the problem, (with what I tried being above) the PC would work great for a couple days, then go back to overheating. I have continued to try and solve the problem myself, but I have no idea what else to do since I genuinely cannot startup the PC for more that a few minutes before it turns off on the home screen with only minor background processes (about 4% cpu load according to NZXT cam and my task manager). With that yap session aside, how could I go about troubleshooting from here, I am desperate to try and fix it without buying new components if possible, as well as reinstalling windows, as I don't have an external drive to save my data on. And just to make sure I wasn't stupid, I set up my PC in the middle of the room on the table with the air set to 68° inside and a fan on to see if airflow was the issue. Please Help!

I'm encountering a problem with my Thermaltake TH360 V2 Ultra AIO liquid cooler's LCD screen. the Thermaltake RGB app consistently reports "Controller not connected," preventing me from customizing the display. I've made sure everything is in properly, I updated the software and attempted various troubleshooting steps, but the issue persists. There is a USB cable that connects to the cpu coolers lcd there was 2 usbs to connected but only 1 cable could be connected to the CPU coolers lcd and I'm not sure what to do with the other USB side and ive connected the USB to the motherboard, I'm encountering a problem with my Thermaltake TH360 V2 Ultra AIO liquid cooler's LCD screen. the Thermaltake RGB app consistently reports "Controller not connected," preventing me from customizing the display.

Upgrading GPU and CPU: Strix RX480 8GB OC > > > TUF RX7800XT Ryzen 7 2700X > > > Ryzen 9 5900X 16GB DDR4 > > > 32GB DDR4 (Kingston Fury) (x2 sticks) Looking for a good cooler (without breaking the budget) for the Ryzen 9 5900X, currently using an LC Power LC-CC-95 for the Ryzen 7 2700X and it's been doing a good job for it's price (35-41C idle > 50-55C gaming > 75-86C 3D rendering, 3D modelling, 2D graphics...), but it's probably not a good choice for a 5900X under heavy workload. I'm interested in opinions and/or suggestions/recommendations, I've picked out a few coolers that fit my budget. Looking at tests even on Ryzen 7000 series the temps seem ok , but I'm also interested in the quality and reliability of these coolers (a broken cooler won't cool ). Current case is a Fractal Design Define R4 (2x 140mm front intake, 1x 120mm rear exhaust, 1x 120mm floor intake). (with current lowest prices) - THERMALRIGHT Peerless Assassin 120 SE - 43 euros - CoolerMaster Masterair Ma612 Stealth - 54 euros - Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 Se Argb - 56 euros - DEEPCOOL AK620 black - 72 euros - BE QUIET! Dark Rock Pro 4 - 74 euros Peerless Assassin 120 SE keeps good temps in some tests and it's the most budget friendly in the list, but if I can't rely on it's quality to survive the 5900X during heavy work it's probably worth paying more for one that can handle it. I'm also not a fan of cheap AIO's so it's why I'm mostly looking into air coolers, unless there's a reliable and overall good AIO in this price range. Thank you in advance

Hello guys, I'm currently getting a new CPU cooler for my Ryzen 5 5600X as the AMD stock cooler does its job very badly. Thus I've decided to get the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE as I've seen very good reviews about it online. I've also ordered a new Arctic MX-6 thermal paste to use although the CPU cooler comes with one included. Now I need to know if the MX-6 can be used for the cooler as I've got some concerns that it might not work. Thanks for every little and big help!

Looking for a new CPU cooler for around 60€
sz_zach posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Hi, I am asking a question for a friend and right now they have an Intel R Core TM i7-9700KF CPU @ 3.60GHz and a Motherboard z390 a pro. Their CPU cooler right now is broken and doesn't work properly so they need a new one. A white one is a must and if somehow possible with RGB. Also they have another question and that's that they have 3 Fans in the front and one in the back and they want to know if they can put 3 at the top and 3 at the bottom or if it won't work or push hot air around. So is it only needed at the top or both- 4 replies

Hi all- I was looking to upgrade the memory in my computer to a new set, and I totally forgot how close this CPU cooler is to the ram. This is the be quiet! Dark Rock 4 CPU Cooler and it sits right on top of the memory. What I was wondering was is it possible to switch the CPU cooling fan to the other side of the cooling fin tower? Will this greatly affect thermals?

Hello, I recently replaced my AIO cooler with the MSI MAG series CORELIQUID 280R Liquid Cooler, and Im not too sure what temps I had before the switch but now im running at 70*C on Idle and 88-91*C Under load, my CPU is the Ryzen 7 5800X with an Asus TUF Gaming Motherboard with an X570 chipset, Im using Core Temp and Open Hardware Monitor to look at the temps, and as im typing this my cpu is at 75*C. Im continuing to monitor my temps when doing things, Ive reapplied the thermal paste, reseated the cooler block and CPU, This cooler is one that I swapped out from my Girlfriends PC into mine and gave my old one to her because it was too big for her case so I cant swap them back to see, im wondering if these temps are normal for this cooler or if my pump is failing, thank you

During Amazon prime day, I grabbed a peerless assassin 120se. I'm slowing buying parts to build new (most likely AM5). However, I was going to throw it in my current PC for now. Tried installing yesterday and I noticed there were no screw length that worked with my motherboard (Asus z370 prime-pII). The box claimed it works on LGA 1151 socket, but doesn't appear to include correct screws. I'm wondering if anyone has used this CPU cooler on older Intel sockets. I'm also curious if I needed to remove the backplate that is currently on my mobo? It's bolted down, so I didn't feel comfortable taking it off in the moment so I put my old cooler back on.

Cavaet: People have different values. Some people may want to spend more to have a cooler that is very quiet or near-silent. Some people may value aesthetics. Not everyone is solely focused on performance-to-price. But if your main priority is performance-to-price, you may not need to spend more than $50 on cooler. A video from Hardware Canucks compared a $40 air cooler (Thermalright Assassin) to $90-110 air coolers. Not only were the temperature differences marginal, but even having 2 less degrees doesn't seem to meaningfully increase your framerates on games. I've seen other videos with similar points about cooling. (I'm not saying I have expertise in this just because I watched a few videos and if there are test that have found different results, let me know) A common mistake I see are builds with mid-range CPU's but expensive coolers. The CPU is way more important than the cooler. You get better performance from $300 CPU/$50 cooler than $200 CPU/$100 cooler. If have the best CPU possible for your needs (maybe the latest Intel i7/i9 or the highest consumer level Ryzen), and you're an enthusiast that wants to spend an extra $50-100 to get a few more frames in game, then get the $100+ air cooler or AIO. But this probably isn't the majority of people.

Budget (including currency): 2k-2,5k € Country: Slovakia Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: enthusiast gaming/streaming(OBS) at up to 1440/144Hz and amateur video editing/learning (DaVinci Resolve,etc) Other details: Hello, I am building a new PC for the very first time and would like to ask experienced builders if everything will be compatible. Main purpose will be enthusiast gaming/streaming with regular video editing which hopefully will become full time over the years. Price should be around 2k-2,5k € but the part picker has totally different prices because of my country (Slovakia/Europe) so there is that. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hYyY6r I have already bought the CPU and GPU because they were at great price. Here are my main concerns: -CPU cooler and RAM clearance: according to this site it will not go well with the chosen RAM unless I move the fan but I am not sure if there will be space for it in chosen case and the last thing I want to do is to return and look for another cooler in the middle of building it since it will be my first time i would like everything to go as smooth as possible -how much cooling would I need since the base version of the case comes with 2x120mm but I want to go with more expensive version of the same case at local store which changes them for 4x120mm ARGB for only 20$ more -is it really worth to go DDR5 instead of DDR4 for this build: since DDR5 motherboards in my country are around 100$ more for the same quality and I don't want to downgrade VRM etc. and RAM costs are 20-50$ more depending on specs and the impact doesn't seem that big as far as I know PS: Do I need to worry about this note from partpicker because I'm not sure I understand it and can someone please explain it if it's a big deal for a first time builder: Note: The video card PCIe 16-pin power connector adapter is being supplied by three 6+2-pin power connectors. Please ensure that the three 6+2-pin power connectors are not daisy-chained and do not share the same power cable. Thank you for any suggestions and help.

Hello everyone, I'm Ivan. I live in Italy, and in these days we are facing a very hot weather. My room reach 30°C (about 86°F) and my PC runs very hot. Well... Not very hot but hotter than when I have 20-22°C room temp. I'm a technician, and I change every month or so thermal paste on both CPU and GPU. Now, the GPU runs at 60-70°C depending on what type of games I'm playing, but the CPU on idle stays at 60°C, when in early June and before, on idle stayed at 40-45°C. So, here it is my question: I have an Arctic Freezer eSports 34 DUO. Could a Cooler Master AIO 120 lower my CPU temps? And maybe a little bit even my GPU's temps, since the AIO throws directly out of my case all CPU's heat... Thank you to whoever will answer!

Hey, so I built my first ever gaming pc 2 weeks ago and everything is great so far loving the performance I get and everything is perfect but there is one issue my pc smells like something is burning like it's not straight up burnt but it smells like melting plastic or something like that. Ive tried to research online but everything that came up was the psu but I recently figured out it is my cpu cooler. I'm not sure if this is normal for it to smell. When the pc is under heavy workload like gaming my pc gets hot on top (where the cpu cooler is) and it smells but when my pc is idle or just not on heavy workload the smell if gone or there isn't smell. Is there any tips on how to stop the awful smell. My parents keep complaining it stinks and I want to get rid of the smell or they'll make me get rid of the pc. My pc specs Rtx 4080 13th gen intel core i9 13900k Case: cooler master mini itx case nr200p Cpu cooler: cooler master 280mm aio cpu cooler (came with the case) Psu: sff 850 watt 80 plus gold cooler matsr psu (also came with the case)
