Which country? If in Europe BeQuiet has some really good offerings under 50 bucks, in other places pricing can be erratic

I live in Portugal. I talked with the 2 stores I buy things from the most, and they don't know when they will get new stock. Even Amazon doesn't have them.


Be quiet! Dark Rock 3, I like it but it costs more then 70€ here. So..

 

The two stores have these: The Be Quiet! Shadow Rock Pro costs about 55€ and the Be Quiet! Shadow Rock 2 custs about 50€ but for what i've seen they are more expensive and not as good.

 

This one: Enermax ets-t40-tb do you guys know if it's good? It costs 43€

I'm searching for reviews now.

Can you link us to where you're shopping?

The ETS-T40 is a nice heatsink and the fan on it is alright and nothing amazing. Its performance is in the 'better than 212 Evo tier'.

Oh sorry. Noob here lol.


I have a Aerocool Xpredator X1 Black Edition. I want to cool my CPU, I think it's a i5 4690K. And I want to be able to make a little bit of OC in the future also the stock cooler is letting the CPU reach 60ºC so I really need a new cooler.

60c is low. You're fine up to 80-90c at load.

Are you sure you need a new cooler?

Oh.. I saw this on the CPU page: TCASE 72.72°C

I thought the temperature was getting very close to the maximum...


Anyway it's safer to have him at lower temps, right?

I use the Cryorig M9i CPU cooler. Great cooler for the 25 dollars I paid for it I think.

Unfortunately only the Cryorig R1 Ultimate is available at the local shops here =(

Tcase refers to the IHS. Core temps are fine up to 80-90c. 

Lower temps past a certain point doesn't mean much and 60c is low.

So I should just take the cheaper Enermax and don't spend any more money?

Uh, you could just stick with the stock cooler if your load temps really do only go up to 60c. The only reason to replace the cooler would be for lower noise if you find the stock cooler too loud.
