They seem pretty similar. 

[CagdasK]

Hello, I am planning Ryzen 5 5600x and Enermax LiqMax III RGB 240, honestly i dont like rgb but it seems like a decent budget buy, do you have any recommendations? I live in Turkey so pricing is kinda different on parts, but i am able to buy Enermax LiqMax III RGB 240 for $79,

 

my other options are(more expensive than LiqMax);

 

DeepCool GAMMAXX L240

Aerocool P7L240

 

I don't need RGB but i want a decent cooling, so if you have recommendations I'll be very happy.

 

note:my case only supports up to 240mm AIO, I have Zalman S4 Plus

 

thanks.

Is there a consensus on ID-COOLING SE-207-XT?

Any good? Costs ~$40 or 50€

I can't find many reviews or tests on it. 

From this review, it performs similarly to the NH-D15 on the 5950X:

Either would be fine. 

If you just want decent cooling, the Mugen 5 Rev. B and  Fuma 2 are also good options:

hello WoodenMarker want to ask about Cooler Master ML240L V2 reliability, because i search on internet alot ML240L V1 has leak problem and i want to know with V2 it still same or has Cooler Master have fix the problem ? 

 

i'm little scare with leak and planning to buy Hyper 212 Led Turbo White edition or Thermalright True Spirit 120 Direct Rev A and put my ML240L on storage

 

my CPU is R5 3600

case Lian Li LanCool 205 White

 

thanks

The issues seem to be from a bad batch and not from an inherent design issue. I haven't looked deeply into it though. I don't think there's anything particularly unreliable about the ML240L V2 compared to other AIO coolers. 

If you already have the cooler, just use it.

thanks for your replay, lets just say for my peace of mind i buy another air cooler which would be better choice Thermalright TS120 or CM Hyper 212 Led Turbo and why ?

Either would be fine. I'd go with the TS120 Rev. A for the higher quality and quieter fan.

Vetroo v5 was recently reviewed by jayztwocents, perhaps this can remove the question mark about few reviews. it also seemed to outperform a 240 mm liquid cooler on a test bench fyi, maybe watch the video for revisions on placement.

Yes, I know of the video that probably got the cooler's popularity rising in the first place. 

Jay mentioned that the results were strange and possibly due to a bad mount for the AIO yet didn't mention remounting it. The test seems far from thorough and there aren't many coolers compared. It's basically very little to no useful data when it comes to placing the cooler. 

 

There are other results that seem to paint a better picture and results indicate that Jay's results were an outlier.

Hi hi, little question for my low cash

 

is Silverstone SST-PF240-ARGB tier 1 really? Cause it's price on my country is about 60-65€, comparing to other brands that cost 100€ or more like Corsair, Coolermaster, Msi, etc... and are same or lower tier.

 

Edit: Also i have the option of an Enermax Aquafusion 240 for 70-75€ but as i see it's tier 3...

Thanks for pointing this out.

Both coolers have a few showings that trade blows with coolers in Tier 1. After further review, both are now moved to Tier 2. They each had good showings but it seems like the performance isn't very consistent. 

 

Here are some of the reviews:

What are you cooling?

Good night. I had a Noctua NH-U12P SE2, 12 years old but working like superman with a X5660 at 4ghz for several years.

 

Finally picked Silverstone PF240, after some test with Kombustor CPU, Prime95, Games, etc... It's about 10ºC less than Noctua at full and same noise at 1000-1500rpm. Nice improvement.

 

I searched as many reviews i could find, and finally got a nice impresion about it, except (Just my personal opinion), spanish website "Elchapuzasinformatico", these guys usually do shit reviews, if u look at commentaries, their own followers throw shit about tests. The main example are PF240 and Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240, which both are like "of the heap" Liquid coolers, and in the other side, they say that Corsair H80 is like Tier 1 over "3 fan brands" who perform like gold in any other tester o reviewer.

 

Anyway i'm really happy with it, i would keep it in Tier 1 as my personal opinion after look for reviews and comments. I compared it with a friend who has the same processor and Corsair H115, and we got near temperatures (1ºC +/- difference in the same room open/closed case test for 30min with the programms before mentioned).

 

I know it's really hard make a perfect tier list, counts kind case, room temperature, fans, thermal grease, etc... Can do a huge different with same specs. Thanks for the

great job you doing.

 

Regards, sorry for my english.

Where is this mentioned? Link?

Comparing to tests I've seen from other reviewers, results from Elchapuzasinformatico seem fairly normal.

I'm not sure what you mean but here are some other examples of how the H80i GT / V2 performs. The results don't seem very different from Elchapuzasinformatico's.

There are many reasons to change system specs on a test bench. The old hardware may have failed or otherwise worn down such as deformation from prolonged use -- or results may be less relevant compared to using more current hardware.

@WoodenMarker thanks for all this work! really appreciated.

 

Question: I just bought a Deepcool Castle GamerStorm RGB V2 360: https://www.amazon.es/DeepCool-Castle-360-RGB-refrigeración/dp/B07TK19XMV/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_es_ES=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&dchild=1&keywords=deepcool+castle+360&qid=1617471720&sr=8-1

 

I currently have a NHU12S Noctua, and I am using a 5950X. My case can barely fit the 6900XT Red Devil. This gpu pumps a lot of hot air to my case and since installing it and downloading a new bios (which also increased my temps and can't rollback by any means), my temps are almost 80C while playing any game and more than 80C (around 85C) while playing Cyberpunk. Sustained temps, not spikes.

 

I will change my case to Phanteks 600S Eclipse. Will I notice improvements going from NHU12S to the Deepcool Castle 360? NHU12S is tier 5 while the Castle is tier 1, is this right? I don't want to fry my cpu in the summer, but I have seen some reviews where the NHU12S is equal to the Castle 360... or even better. I can still return the AIO or get a Liquid Freezer, but not sure. I also bought 3x Noctua A12x25 to replace my AIO fans and improve temps and noise. 

 

Any input/help appreciated.

 

Just wanted to update on my 5950X high temps "issue". After swapping my case for a P600S Eclipse (with Arctic P14 fans installed), my NHU12S for a Deepcool Castle RGB V2 360mm aio, and replacing radiator fans with Noctuas A12x25, my temps have dropped by 14Cº on average, I am pretty amazed by the results. Used to get 85C peaks in Cyberpunk, now 65-70 max. In Star Citizen went from 78-80C to 55-65.

Are you using PBO? The 5950x hitting 85c can be fairly normal even with a 360mm AIO due to how aggressively it can boost. 

The Castle 360 RGB V2 should provide better cooling but that may result in slightly higher clock speeds as opposed to markedly lower temps. 

If your temps peak around 85c, that's fine and there's no need to replace your current cooling unless you want less noise or need that extra bit of performance.

Yes, I am using curve optimizer ranging from -30 to -10. I was used to my 3900X not going past 70C ever and I use my pcs for a long time, so I was a bit concerned about temps... Thanks for the fast answer.

Is the deepcool gammaxx 400 ex really better than gammaxx gt v2? Based on the price for me, the gammaxx gt v2 is more expensive, while the 400 ex is higher up a tier. Thank you in advance for the input

[KeepTheChange]

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me choose a cooler

I'm planning on starting an a-rgb build soon with an r5 3600 (or a 5600 if they bring the non-x variant out any time soon).

So I want an a-rgb cooler (pls don't judge) at a reasonable price ideally so I can spend a little more on a GPU (whenever I can finally get my hands on one). Was initially looking at the Arctic Freezer 50 as it looks baller and seems to perform exceptionally well for a £50 cooler, but then I realised that ram clearance for this cooler is terrible so that's pretty much a no-go. Also I'm quite sure it would be overkill for an r5 anyway.

So I'm now looking at something like the ID-Cooling SE-234, which is around the same price mark maybe £5-10 less. It doesn't look anywhere as nice imo though... I do like the look of the Jonsbo CR-1100 and the Golden Field Wind Walker but neither of those are listed here yet. In fact none Golden Field's coolers are on the list, is there any particular reason for that?

Was also curious about the the Gamemax Gamma 600, but it doesn't seem to be listed either.

Sorry for the long line of questions lol, many thanks in advance

Had to fix the list since the Gammaxx GT V2 shouldn't be on the list yet due to lack of reviews. 

What's on the list is the GT and GTE V2. The Gammaxx GT V2 seems similar to the original GT though. 

There aren't many results on the Gammaxx 400 EX but the few that I've come across seems to indicate that it performs better. That's should be hardly surprising considering the two included fans vs. the one on the GT / GTE V2.

It's because the Tier 2 coolers generally perform better than the DRP4 and worse than the H115i. When looking at reviews, the NH-D15 / NH-D15S is often a good reference point for indicating relative performance. 

The tiers aren't separated by any standardized amount of improvement but are just groupings that can help generalize relative performance.

I'm planning on starting an a-rgb build soon with an r5 3600 (or a 5600

So I want an a-rgb cooler (pls don't judge) at a reasonable price

looking at the Arctic Freezer 50 as it looks baller and seems to perform exceptionally well for a £50 cooler, but then I realised that ram clearance for this cooler is terrible so that's pretty much a no-go.

What case and ram are you using?

I do like the look of the Jonsbo CR-1100 and the Golden Field Wind Walker but neither of those are listed here yet. In fact none Golden Field's coolers are on the list, is there any particular reason for that?

Was also curious about the the Gamemax Gamma 600

I haven't seen (m)any reviews on these coolers. If you have, please link them.
