Scythe Fuma 2 or Dark Rock Pro 4 for Ryzen 9 5950X?

[pavlest]

Can someone please tell me which of this two coolers is better for Ryzen 9 5950X: Scythe Fuma 2 or Dark Rock Pro 4?

better go for the ekwb 360 millimeter radiator they have

They’re both 6 pipe dual towers.  Pretty comparable.  It’s theoretically a 105w chip, so both will be more than strictly necessary.   I’d say whichever one is cheaper.

I would go with the scythe FUMA 2, It's a lot cheaper and the 5950x isn't hot enough to justify the very slight difference between the two

nice job recommending a 50-70 euro more expensive part that wasn't part of the question.

Ok thank you. I will by FUMA 2

both options are not good if you have the money to spend on a 5950x then who probably also have the money to buy a ekwb 360 mil radiator

There are disadvantages to AIOs reliability wise though. One has moving parts, the other doesnt.  The AIO does have a larger heat envelope.  It can be done without in this case though.

the thing is, both of those air coolers provide near equal cooling to the 360mm aio, and to be honest the 5950x isn't that hot of a chip, It doesn't need a 360mm AIO. theres a difference between buying what you need and wasting money.

do fans also move

[MarkR17]

Fans do move but are easily replaced. Same cannot be said for AIOs if their pump fails.

 

Yes the Fuma 2 is a good price performance option.

The Noctua NH-D15 is strictly speaking better than the Fuma 2 but also costs a lot more

-deleted- necrothread.  No idea why it popped up on my thingie

Scythe Fuma 2, Deepcool Assassin 3 or a value option Gelid Phantom.

There are difference of installing difficulty and price in the region.

NH-D15S would be maybe the ultimate option, but it sots too much imo.
