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 -
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)

Hey guys, i just finished cleaning my PC and just pluged everything back together. The CPU fan is now not spinning. There is a Continuous Beeep allert for the same. The PC does boot up, went into Bios, Checked Gigabyte Smart fan menu, and it Confirms that CPU fan is at Zero RPM. I changed bios from Manual speeds to full speed and it still does nothing. After leaving bios, the pc does continue to boot up to the Windows Password screen, where i turn it off to avoid overheating. CPU is Ryzen 7 2700x Mobo is Gigabyte AUG x470 CPU fan is AMD's wraith Prism which came with CPU

Country: Australia Other details I got this cooler second hand and it came with 3 120mm Corsair fans attached to the radiator but I don't think that the cooler module is actually Corsair because I cant find it anywhere. The guy said that he got it new 2 years ago from MSY in Australia if that helps.

Hey guys, Full story: i had high cpu temps bc of bad spread thermal paste so i swapped it. after re assembling everything i wanted to test it, played about half an hour of anno 1800 when my cpu fan shut down. When booting after that the fan didnt start spinning at all and in bios it doesnt show any cpu fan now. Tried reconnecting the cable, using cpu fan opt instead of the usual pins and resetting bios to default but it stays off. How are chances cpu cooler is dead compared to motherboard? :p -
Too me this sounds ridiculous but i'm gonna need some help here . I upgraded my ram today (for the first time ) from 16GB (2x8gb) to 32GB (2x16gb) . all went well RAM I upgraded to : CORSAIR CMK32GX4M2E3200C16 It did run at a speed of 2133 , a quick google search shows to change in the bios the XMP from off to profile 1 , which i did and that worked running at 3200 .(performance and everything is perfect , no problems here ) But since i changed that XMP profile my led light for my Radiator fans and CPU cooler stay on when in sleep or shut down ( super annoying ) CPU Cooler : PCS FrostFlow 240 Series ARGB High Performance Liquid Cooler (AMD) , I am 99%sure that its the XMP profile setting in bios as i just changed it back to off and the lights turn off when in sleep or power off . also checked in bios setting for LED's to turn off when in sleep , hibernation and shutdown . so i am baffled into why this is happening , i need my faster RAM speeds more than some silly LED but just an annoyance . Also but can live without for now (Gigabyte software , App Centre , RGB fusion , ext.. just don't launch anymore , could be linked but if not , not a priority at the minute ) Main Pc specs : CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Eight Core Motherboard GIGABYTE B550 GAMING X V2 RAM CORSAIR CMK32GX4M2E3200C16 32Gb (2x16GB) GPU 12GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3060 CPU Cooler PCS FrostFlow 240 Series ARGB Liquid Cooler (AMD) Any help appreciated , thanks ! Edit : light go off on shutdown now but still not on sleep -
As the title suggests, i'm making a new system and the only store in my area which is selling the ryzen 7 5700x doesn't have an included cooler. My old (and dysfunctional) cpu was a ryzen 5 3600x. So is it possible to transfer? -
Hi everyone, I have a Noctua NH-U12S CPU cooler installed on a Ryzen 3700X CPU and although the included Noctua NF-F12 PWM fan claims a max 22.4 dB(A), I can hear a revving hum that seems to exceed it (30-40 dB(A)). To avoid some hassle, I do not want to replace the CPU cooler so I am tempted to replace the NF-F12 fan with a be quiet! Silent Wings 3 fan for its claimed 16.4 dB(A). Has anyone done this before and how were the results, please? Good/Bad idea? Thanks! IberMagnus

I have a Corsair H115i AIO water cooler. It’s the original one with no RGB that came out a few years back (link here for reference). It’s an older model before this new 1200 socket type came out and therefore doesn’t specifically indicate compatibility with the 1200 socket type. Does anyone know if 1151 compatible CPU coolers will also work for 1200 sockets or does it require an upgrade? -
Hi forum i have a arctic freezer 11 lp as a CPU cooler and I want to know what CPU cooler will you recommend. My prefrence for a CPU cooler is, does it have low noise when it cool your CPU and is it good, for CPU intense games. Like Overwatch team fortress 2 etc.

I understand that when an AIO is mounted with the pump at the highest point in the loop, it will likely suffer due to air collecting in the pump, which can be bad for the motor/impeller/etc. This is a good reason not to mount rads below the CPU block in most typical AIOs. Problem is, in some (mostly ITX SFF) cases, there is simply no other option. For cases that require an “inverted” orientation as mentioned above, I’m wondering whether it’s enough of a solution to select one of those oddball AIOs that locate the pump in the radiator or inline with the tubes? Certainly this would protect the pump, keeping it submerged in liquid. However, any air in the loop is still going to find its way to the CPU block, which will eventually hurt cooling potential, correct? This would hurt thermal performance and could potentially even damage the CPU block as plastics are exposed to heat that can’t be dissipated by the liquid as designed. I doubt it would be a problem from day one (assuming you get a reasonably full AIO) but as permeation occurs and more air finds its way into the system, I can imagine that the relatively weak impeller pump would struggle to push liquid across a dried out CPU block. In fact if this were the case, wouldn’t you still eventually see too much strain on the pump, if it has to work harder and harder with degrading results? I’m kind of wondering... if I already don’t have any other options aside from the inverted orientation (CPU block up top), does it even matter where the pump is?

Hi, i am fairly new to pc building and i've managed to upgrade my motherboard, cpu and ram a few weeks ago. The problem is that my cpu is idling at around 40-55 degrees with 60-65 short spikes when browsing or while i'm on youtube, and around 70-85 while gaming. I know these kind of temperatures are fairly normal with the stock cooler but i would like to change my case because i don't think i will have enough space for gpu's from rtx 2k/3k series and also because my temperatures are around 5-10 degrees lower if i take the side panel off. My current setup is: CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 Motherboard: b450 gaming plus max GPU: 1050 TI RAM: 2x8 GB Kingston HyperX Fury RGB CL16 3200MHz Case: Zalman Z1 If possible, i would like some recommendations on cases with the max budget of 80-90$, ATX format. I would also like to upgrade my gpu/psu in the near future (rtx 2080/2080ti) and also to buy a aftermarket cpu cooler. I heard cooler master hyper 212 RGB or hyper 212 EVO is a good budget choice but i'll also take any suggestions in consideration. As for the pc case, others told me that nzxt h510 is a pretty solid choice (apart from the airflow which is not that great) or fractal design meshify c.

I've bought this cheapish motherboard bundle off ebay which includes: H81i motherboard, i5-4460, 4gb of ram and a 240gb ssd. It comes with a cheap aftermarket cpu cooler and after some research its rated at 73w cooling capacity. From the intel website it says the i5-4460 has a 84w tdp. Does this mean the cooler will be incapable of cooler my cpu? I'm also putting it an xbox 360 with limited ventilation so I'm guessing this will not be enough cooler power. Im not thinking of overclocking the CPU and might even undervolt it in the future if I plan on adding a low profile graphics card. Thanks for any help! Edit: is the cooling capacity directly of a cooler linked to the TDP of a cpu?

Hey guys, recently I've been looking into getting a new CPU cooler for my Ryzen 5 3600x.I currently have the Be Quiet pure rock slim, but I've upgraded and dripped out the rest of my system and I want a new cooler that isn't well...as ugly as this one I currently have plus it doesn't really cool Ryzen down well so I needa new one.I've been looking at the LC-CC-120-ARGB from LC-Power, it looks great to me and is ARGB so that's a plus, the thing is it has a handfull of reviews on YouTube and stuff and all of them that I've found are on a intel platform not Ryzen, so I'm wondering does anyone have expereince with that CPU cooler? or do you have a alternative around the same price range? Thanks!

I am planning on building a new system for VR. I know you can't get GPUs at the moment so for now I'm buying all the parts except the GPU and hopefully some time next year the prices will be sane again. My question is what is a decent CPU cooler for the 11600K? I'd prefer to stay at around or under $50 but the cpu cooler that seems the most recommended is the Noctua NH-U12S chroma.black for $79.95-. Is it worth all the extra money? It seems kind of expensive. Thanks for anyones input

Ok, First time on the forums, so I think I setup the tags thing right, but probably not (sorry) this is my first PC that I built, with a lot of help from a lot of different people (pre-pandemic and GPU shortage) I have an Intel i5 9400f, and it is currently running the stock cooler, which is louder than I would like, and a little bit warm (pretty much 65-75c under load, and 35-40c (mostly) idle) I'm pretty sure these temperatures are fine for a cpu, but not great. Now, I have decided that with about $75 in Amazon gift card credits, I want to buy a Noctua cooler If this is actually fine for temperatures, then too bad, I'm probably going to end up buying a cooler anyways I have already decided against water cooling, even though I know that it is probably fine, even with an AIO from a reputable brand, i still don't feel comfortable with it, especially in the case of a leak, which would drip on my GPU, which finding a replacement for, would be less than fun, even though it is a 1060 and not a 3090 (still lucky that I got it when I did, and the silicon in that thing is pretty high up in terms of the silicon lottery, so ) I have the NZXT h510, so I cant just get an NH-D15 and never have to upgrade coolers again, If I had a bigger case, than I would make the investment, but I don't need It now, and By the time I upgrade my pc, ill probably be okay with water cooling (still seems like... not the best idea) I was looking at the Noctua NH-L9x65 or the Noctua NH-L9i chromax.Black, but Noctua's compatibility list says only with good ventilation, which I guess mine is okay, but If I'm spending 50-70 dollars on a piece of aluminum with a fan, then I want it to work really well, and not end up just buying the more expensive equivalent of the stock cooler Sorry this was all a rant TLDR: Looking for a new cpu cooler (not water cooling) for an intel i5 9400f (preferably Noctua) in an NZXT h510, and don't mind spending 50-70 dollars, but don't really realistically want to go over 100-110 USD Sorry if i did this completely wrong, but if I didn't: Any suggestions?

Hi forum I have a i7 6700k in a ASUS ROG strix z270h and the CPU is cooled down by a arctic freezer 34 pull only. I wonder is the cooler good enough for the CPU or do I need to upgrade it if yes any suggestions?
