I9 9900k or i9 10900k cooling need help

[BNA34]

Hi, so I've been looking at cpu coolers for either a i9 9900k or a i9 10900k.  The coolers I think may work best according to some research are the Noctua D15 and the Corsair H100i v2.  I'm budgeting obo 180 USD.  I don't mind some noise as my main concern is temps, ideally I'd like to keep the cpu 70c or under while running at full load. 

 

Thanks :)

I think the noctua cooler is fine, and will keep the CPU under 70, but the corsair is liquid and will cool more, so the corsair will cool the CPU more, but the Noctua will get the job done as well. Does your case have enough space for that noctua d15? I would go with the noctua d15 because it's cheaper if your case supports it, and if you won't do overclocking, but if you will do overclocking and have the money and really want the best cooling, then go with the corsair, but the noctua will still get the job done and keep it below 70, but the corsair will cool maybe 3-6 degrees more?

Thank you :).  I'd definitely do some ocing.  The case I'm looking at does support the D15 but I'd take any extra decrease in temps that I can get

None of the above.

With a Noctua D15 an i9 9900k at 5ghz all cores will be in the low 70s but if you want to do 5.2 you will need more.

 

Here is the i9 9900k at 5hz all cores running Cinebench R15 with a Noctua D15.

Oh wow.  I can definitely see that 5.2ghz-5.3ghz requiring more cooling.  What would u recommend for cooling?

I would use something like a Kraken X73 mainly because I would like to get 2 cores at 5.3 on a i9 10900k.

I think other people have the same idea since they keep on selling out.

I am not in a hurry so I will wait for the market to settle.

Ah, ya the kraken X73 is indeed sold out.  I'll definitely keep my eye on that though.  I just hope I win the silicon lottery (I really hate that prebinned cpu costs so damn much more n my only real option is to put in money into a slot machine and yank the lever hoping for something good).

The chances of getting a bad chip is low compared to older generations. Most i9 9900ks can easily overclock to 5hz all cores but it was not that way with the i7 7800k. I expect the new generation to be even better.  

 

I paid an extra $100 for the i7 8086ks over a regular i7 8700k. They have been worth it. In games they perform slightly better than the i9 9900k I tested(built for my Son) and can do slightly better than the new i5 10600k and i7 10700k. Basically two Intel generations with no real gain.

 

My interest with the i9 10900k is its stock performance.

Sometimes there is a Windows/game update that makes my 5ghz all core overclock imposible to use.

Right now it is Space Engineers. The games has pauses that make it unplayable. Removing the overclock fixes it.  This all started with the last major Windows update. So now one of my gaming computers is stock and the other is overclocked. Old game engines like the one used in Space Engineers use only two cores so it will benefit from the features of the i9 10900k stock.

 

I have a i7 8700k and it was not a good overclocker but it did not seem to matter when using a GTX 1080 ti. When it was paired with a RTX 2080 ti it did badly against the i7 8086k. I learned If you have a GPU less than a RTX 2080 ti 5ghz does not seem to matter. I am doing a new build for the i7 8700k but it will have a GTX 1080 ti and be used for video editing.

I'm also doing a build for video editing. I am using the Ryzen 5 2600 and GTX 1660 

I am only using the i7 8700k and GTX 1080 ti because I have them lying around.

 

I am not a believer of killer rigs for productivity unless it is cost effective and every time I did video editing in the past with 4 cores the computers were waiting for me to get finished, not the other way around. 

For gaming I am a bit of a nut but those less expensive 4 cores with their GTX x70 GPUs paid for the high end gaming stuff.

my system won't support davinic resolve, which is the best editor out there, so I use things like VSDC or Shotcut

The system I am building is for my Son. He is a vocational trainer and has been tasked with putting classes on line. The laptop that he is to use for the task is totally inadequate so I am building a better setup for him. I don't know what software he will use but I will let him know about the free ones.

Well, here are my recommendations for free software based what you told me about your system: i7 8700k and GTX 1080 ti

 

1080p Video Editing: Shotcut or Davinci Resolve

 

4k Video: VSDC or Shotcut or Sony Vegas 

 

How much RAM does your system have? What is your son's skill level in editing and will he edit 1080p or 4k video? Please tell me all this information so I can help you find the best free software for your son that is free and best matches his type of workflow, while still works on your system

He has never done video editing before. So it will be new.  He is working with a publisher so they will probably tell him what they need.

The computer has 16gbs now. I have a gaming computer that has 32 so if I need it I will get it from that.

 

Thanks.

Intermediate (1-2 years of experience) use Shotcut

Advanced (4-5 years of experience with system upgrade) Get Davinci Resolve

 

Animation:

Advanced (At least 3-4 years of experience) use Blender

Thanks for the info.

I think doing a custom loop is best for water cooling performance. I built the threadripper system my cousin uses for CAD modeling, and I did a custom water loop in that, and that custom loop cools great and has never failed. It cools better than pre built water coolers, but you probably won't want to do a custom loop, considering your budget. For your budget, I think a 360mm radiator will give you best performance cooling, but I don't know if your case supports 360mm radiators. What radiator size does your case support?

I'm currently looking at the fractal 7 atx case

The last pc I built for myself had a 4th Gen intel cpu (though I've been recently building PC's for people because of the covid 19 crisis).  It had lots of dpc latency issues that I could never quite figure out and ended up selling the thing.  I'm hoping this go around, with my increased experience I'll be able to make a good system with none of my previous issues.

Ok. I will look into helping you do a custom loop for your system. What will be your budget for this custom loop? (I suggest at least 300 for your situation)

I think Ill go with the kraken X73, that barely clears my budget.  I greatly appreciate your offer, but a custom look doesn't fit my budget and I don't think I can upkeep a custom loop XD (knowing my luck, something may spill and cause me endless amounts of pain, or I'll constantly put off maintenance and as a result something will start growing and corroding the metal in my loop).

What motherboard do you have?

I believe my previous system uses a z390 Asus motherboard (not sure as to the exact one).  I borrowed parts from friends and swapped out the HDDs, added a sound card, tried a different mobo, tried a different PSU, tried different ram, did a bios reset, tried updating the bios, tried different OSes, all of which didn't seem to fix my weird stutter problem (audio would stutter, video would have weird stutters, the mouse would sometimes skip).  I suspected it was the cpu as that was the only part I didn't touch
