Am4 2600x CPU cooler upgrade ideas

[Bluehawk21]

What's good up grade from a wraith spire cooler for a 2600x? I havnt oc my CPU yet but would like to later on, and adding some more rgb to my inside of my case would be a plus.

[hello_there_123]

if you want max perf/price stick with stock 

 

if you want RGB, go with a used wraith prism from ebay

Low price : Hyper 212 around (30-35$)

Best performance for oc (air) : Noctua nhd15 SE AM4 (around 90-100$) its like a 240L even a 360L AIO water cooler.

hyper 212 is on par with stock, and D15 is a waste of money for a 2600 (voltage curve makes it so that there's no performance gain)

I have a 2600x and use a Evo 212 and get great temps never over 74c at 100% usage.  Don’t get the black edition it not as good as the old silver ones.  

 

these are my test results in AIDA64

 

Temps idle 32c

CPU Stress 47c

FPU Stress 71c

CPU and FPU Stress 74c

Hyper 212 evo or Arctic Freezer 34 for 20-30$.

Scythe Fuma or Mugen 5 for 40-50$.

What fan speeds? Are you running it 4,2GHz all core boost?

I was looking at the noctua only thing that stops me is that fan color but the performance  is fantastic.

900rpm but fangoes to 1800rmp at full load.  Everything is stock, so no not all cores just 2 or 3 at 4.2ghz.

Source? 

From what I've seen, the Black Editions are easily better. https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Cases-and-Cooling/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-RGB-Black-Edition-Air-Cooler-Review

Me, 

I had one it not better than the old. buy one and see for yourself it 5c hotter then the old one, I know 5C is not much, but you might better temps then me.

What were you testing with? Were you running the fans at max rpm?

it’s 2600x with 212evo, I run the text above in my post at set fan curve, 900RPM till 60% load and 1200RPM @ 75% load and 1800RPM at 75% -100% load.

How are you controlling fan speeds via load as opposed to temps?

Load

Load

I was asking about what you're using for control. Most software tends to have options to control fan speeds according to temp but not load.
