Could someone tell which air cooling (i would prefer not to go with liqued) up to 50 euros? Its ok if i need to go up with money (maximum 85euro), if its worth it. I have ryzen 2600. Main task for for cpu fan is to be silent while on heavy load, and of course to provide me some overclocking possibilities while still being silent. 


I found noctua nh-d15 for 85 euro, are there better deals?

A Cryorig H7 is a really good cooler if you don't have much money. I use an H7 on my Ryzen 5 1600 and the temps rarely go above 65C in games, it's super quiet as well.

Unfortunately those are hard to find these days, otherwise a solid cooler if it can be bought.

Or the new dark rock slim when it's available

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I know the Pro 4 is a blowout, but do the 4 or slim outperform a 212 Black?

Yes, the slim is a 180 watt and the DR4 is 200w. Still quite a lead in cooling performance 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Regarding Cryorig H7, there is no classic version of it, only those variants of it...

 

Cryorig H7 ultra 50 euro

Cryorig H7 plus 50 euro

Cryorig H7 quad lumi 55 euro

Cryorig H7 quad snow 65 euro

 

And,  dark rock 4 is 62 euro.

 

So, with which one should i go? ( Prefering more silent one).

you might want to quote people...

 

I'd take either of them

 

quad lumi is with rgb, snow is white, the other two I'm not sure

 

the drp4 is more silent tho, and technically enough for even a 9900k

Good suggestion regarding quotes. 

I guess they wont even see question this way.

 

Hmm, is there actualy noticable difference between dark rock 4 and dark rock pro 4 regarding noise while full load?

H7 Plus is the H7 w/ an extra Fan.

H7 Ultra is the H7 w/ RGB and a extra heatpipe.

H7 Quad Lumi is the H7 w/ extra heatpipe, white LED fan, RGB top & underglow

Snow is H7 quad Lumi thats white.

 

Get the Ultra.

if you have it in a good case yes, because the pro has another fan

When overclocked at load, the Mugen 5 pulls ahead of the Dark Rock 4.

 

https://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/scythe_mugen5/3.htm

 

Whatever you get, make sure that it fits your case.

But if i overclock it, wouldnt it then be very loud? I have ear problem, so noise is most important for me. I have to adming this mugen 5 realy caught my eye, just noise worries me

Scythe is known for making quiet coolers. It would be perfect if it fits your case. If it did get too loud, you could decrease your overclock a bit.

 

You can see the noise levels on these last two charts:

The Mugen 5 is pretty quiet. 

What case and ram are you using? Where are you shopping / located?

Scythe Mugen5 orFuma and Thermalright Macho rev B are all quite nice for about 40-50€:s. Silentiumpc Fortis 3 is a bit cheaper at 35€. Prices from amazon.de, could be cheaper on other countries.

This lists the MS Falcon as 161mm maximum cooler height.

http://www.pc-specs.com/case/MS/MS_Falcon/2727

 

The Scythe Mugen 5 Rev. B (5100) is 154mm. The M5RB is offset from the RAM, so it can work with any RAM height as you can see in these photos:

 

https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/8320/scythe-mugen-5-rev-cpu-cooler-review/index5.html

 

So in summary, yes it fits! ?
