Cooler for i7-11700k

[Liargoff]

I used Cooler Master 212 Evo (Black Edition if that matters) for the previous 50+ builds of PCs with i5-10600k and the temps were fine during Intel Burn Test (max 76C)

Now I used this cooler for the i7-11700k and it reached 100C during the Intel Burn Test

 

Are there any air coolers to replace it for the 11th gen at this budget?

 

thanks!

Yeah, I don't think "budget" is going to cut it on that one. The 11th gen chips are fusion reactors. That's what happens when you try to run a 14nm architecture on 10nm.

The cheapest *best* CPU cooler would be the Scythe Fuma 2 (in my humble opinion), and even that exceeds the price of a Hyper 212 by about 20 USD.

If you want an air cooler, go for the Cryorig R1 (either version is fine), Bequiet DarkRock Pro 4 (it works just fine in my system), or, you know, the still KING Noctua NH-D15 (Black, because it looks good). If you want to go with an AIO, there are plenty of options out there.

 

If you want to keep your temps in check without trading off performance, you need to invest in your CPU Cooler. No workarounds for this, sorry.

If you care about silence at all and want to run MCE at good temps you will need a proper dual tower cooler.
It's a decent amount more but the best bang for the buck option in the Canadian market is NH-D15s (in black of course).

Once your spending the extra money to get a 11700k over a 11600k, spending the extra little bit on the cooler to get the full advantages of the I7.

AnotherGlenn really hit the point on the head. If you need cheap the Scythe Fuma 2 is a "good" choice but I'd recommend going with more.

 

 

If you want some NH-D15 numbers here's what I get with my 11700k.
With multicore enhancement on, REALLY good case airflow, and fans at 80% it doesn't break 65c.

Turn the fans back to 60% (With MCE) and it hits 70C.
