Question about the ryzen r9 3900x + corsair H80i v2

[StrawberryShortCakes]

What would happen if I stuck a r9 3900x in a coolermaster elite 110 with a corsair H80i v2? 

 

I was asking my computer teacher he said and I quote "  what would happen if I left your pet in the desert and not feed it for a week?" I answered "die?" 

He said the cpu would cook itself eve with that cooler. 

Is that true? 

Anyone with the knowledge please explain, thank you.

That's pretty anemic for a cpu of that level. Importantly it wouldn't "die". It would however probably reach max temps and then clock down to not "die". Your teacher is either unaware that current hardware will downclock to keep itself safe or is explaining the level at which that cooler is anemic.

[eeeee1]

i think you should be fine if you dont overclock.

[Stahlmann]

It wouldn't cook itself. This cooler is probably better than the stock AMD cooler that comes with the 3900X and even that one can handle it.

[Mateyyy]

The H80i can handle a 3900X no problem, it's just that 120/140mm AIOs don't offer too noteworthy of a value. Just make sure you've at least decent airflow in your case.

It's a thick 120mm rad that by default comes configured in push pull iirc, I'd say it's pretty far from "anemic". If that was the case, AMD wouldn't be including a box cooler with the 3900X in the first place.

Sorry but what does 'anemic' mean? 13yrs old in technical grade sorry

Nope 

That aio is pretty good and if a stock cooler can handle it ( which it can ) an aio would 

Don't know where your teacher got that from lol

Underpowered, in this context.

Granted a 240mm unit might be better, but if your budget won't stretch that far...

In this situation im using it to describe the lack of ability it has. Not to say it won't work its just to say that for a cpu of that level a better cooling system should be bought IF you get a non-stock cooler. The actual definition of anemic is COMPLETELY different than how im using it. Its a medic term that generally applies to something with iron and blood causing lack of oxygen to be carried. IDK why some pc people use that word now that you bring it up I just have heard it used for similar situations.

Anaemia IS an iron deficiency... typically shows itself in lack of skin complexion.

Anemic includes iron deficiency but it also includes Thalassemia and sickle cell. according to google.

So it's a medical effect? 

I think I get the picture,

Oh thanks for the explanation.

In conclusion getting that cooler would limit the potential and IMO you should just stick with the stock cooler unless you get something with more cooling potential than the corsair H80i v2. Your teacher wasn't specific and was probably pointing towards that. But that is IMO and there is advantages to non-stock coolers.

Well the CoolerMaster Elite 110 can only fit a 120mm AIO and the best air cooler it'll fit is the noctua nh L12s.

It wouldn't cook itself it just wouldn't boost as high as it could and would run warm, as said above it's better than the cooler that the chip ships with but the H80i isn't a great value when it's around the same price as great air coolers that stomp it in performance

Which cooler and will it fit into the elite 110?

76mm clearance according to corsair and this is 75.4 so very tight:

Other than that a LP cooler from Noctua. The stock cooler that is sent with the 3900x won't actually fit in that case.

 

Overall though I wouldn't recommend jamming a 105W chip into a small ITX case. Not only are you wasting expandability  but you will never get the best performance out of any component in the system.

I'm planning the system in theory due to form to function with the budget of a certain price with in the test. I'm trying to get an "A+" in this class is hard. 

Rules to the test :

The most powerful system in it's smallest form

Point +/- scores

Temps

Sound/silent 

Benchmark scores

Real editing time scores

Real time calculations scores

*would have used threadripper if the budget allowed*

and almost everyone else is using the couger itx case

Why not use the Core V1?

 

https://uk.thermaltake.com/core-v1.html

 

Comes with a massive 200mm fan at the front and allows for a 140mm CPU cooler. Cheaper than the cougar and only about 10% bigger.

There was one in the classroom I'll check tomorrow

I had it’s bigger brother the V21 and it was great for airflow and sound. Plus you can use the box cooler which’ll be good for your budget.

Hello guys! I really want to buy a Corsair H80i v2 for my Ryzen 3900x, I can only a single 120mm fan/radiator on my mid-tower case. I'm using the stock Prism Wraith and temps are reaching about 80c and thermal throttling to about 4.1Ghz, capping most of my games (GPU is a RTX 2080 ti). Do you guys think the buying this cooler might help decreasing the temps so I can run a higher clock and keeping a lower temperatura inside the case overall? Thanks!
