Cheap ARGB cooler for 12900k?

Dude didn't know that the Hyper 212 is too weak for his CPU and is lamenting that choice.

 

Prefer that the cooler be optimized for 12thGen, too.

 

Cheap is probably the lowest you can go for this CPU in a clear(!) case with front bays that will prevent it from throttling. It's for business, not gaming. 

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.

Because I don't pay attention to ARGB. I want to give a few options, not just TR PS/PA120 ARGB

I was thinking about that one, too, when I posted.

the TR PS/PA120 has argb thow...? you can also buy other tr argb fans too so...🤷‍♂️

 

are you looking for like a cooler with lcd or argb build in to the cooler not the fan?

 

if you want like merror fans then aliexpress is best for that.

Just ARGB, no LCD.

 

Yes, they do.

Does anyone else have any suggestions other than TR PA120 & PS120 and Zalman CNPS20X?

FC140 works pretty good too 😄

 

Haha..

 

Everything else sucks bro.

Edit:

 

I know you said ARGB..

 

You can get TLD14xx ARGB at Ali Express, that would be the center fan.

Thanks, bro, but that fan photo is disgusting looking, and I don't think he wants to swap fans.

ya but your looking for an argb cooler that is the same or cheaper then TR PA120. there are coolers that come close to it but also has other qualiy control problems. TR PA120 is world wide cheap and just works. debower did a video like few days ago and found coolers comparable to it and pointed out the pros and cons of them. the signal stack cooler is nice for clearance problems.

 

i no techyescity like buying cheap coolers for his really budget builds and likes the snowman coolers but thats older stuff.(i watch his stuff here and there and have a bios with his stuff too) there another reason to recommend the TR PA120 is if they upgrade they have a best cooler already.
