i probably already said it, but you never should have to pay more than 100, and even that is overkill in most cases,  on the contrary, often the stock cooler is more than enough, especially for AMD. 

 

It might be annoying and whiny, but it's still good enough so nothing overheats as long case cooling is ok'ish ~

 

 

It was just a bit of exageration, ahah!

Anyway, no Noctua for me. I've got a ThermalRight Assassin King 120 SE for 20$, shipped at my door.

I never imagined that my old cooler could be so bad, I bought it following the high amount of good reviews.

My rig:

Case: Chieftec CI-01B-OP "The Cube"

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H Rev.1

CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X

Cooler: ThermalRight Assassin King 120 SE with TF-4 Thermal paste

GPU: NVidia RTX 2070 Super Blower Style (HP OEM)

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 2x16

PSU: Itek BD700 DC-to-DC

hot air goes up so you want it out in the top, not "in"

Hot air rises because of a difference in density, but at a negligible speed when compared to the speed of a fan moving air.

Yup. It takes a massive amount of heat to rival a 1500 RPM fan,  epidural (edit: wtf did Otto Rong right that for???) especially if it has high AF and SP.

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

My phone's auto-correct is named Otto Rong.🤪😂
