What CPU cooler is the best cheap cooler out there? Air

>>55497948
Air is cheaper than water and the very best air cooler will cool about as good as the mid range to low end AIO (liquid) coolers. The Cryrorig h7/h5 and cooler master hyper 212 evo are cheap and effective air coolers.
Also computers are for nerds go outside.

>The Cryrorig h7/h5 and cooler master hyper 212 evo
seconding this, but go with the h7. it outperforms the hyper 212 in just about every way and costs only $10 more iirc

i have one and it keeps my oc'd 6600k at 29c idle at a very low fan rpm

>>55497948
For future reference, those of us who have internet access (you) can usually search things like "best cpu air cooler" or "best AIO cpu cooler" you'll get a bunch of results from toms hardware and a bunch of other bullshit review sites and should be able to make your own opinions on what works for you.

>>55498270
TLDR; quit being a useless mongoloid and don't depend on /g/ autists for pc part choices.

>shilling this hard
Noise also matters.

>>55498373
Thanks m8. No shill here though. Performance wise that's not a lie. Shills are pretty brand specific as well. What I said still holds up. If he cares about noise both the air coolers I suggested work fine, AIOs can get louder or quieter depending what you pick. Again. Read user reviews on your own

>>55498373
They're literally the same thing, apart from with liquid cooling you transport the heat with water to a different location before cooling it off with a heatsink and fan rather than mounting it directly on the processor.

Although air coolers are better because you don't get pump noise and you don't have to worry about finding all your components fried one day if the loop leaks.

>>55497948
there are different models for each socket senpai

>>55498500
>Shills are pretty brand specific as well.
AIO = corsair most of the time.

>>55498526
Pump noise is only an issue on the shitty low/midrange meme AIOs, my x61's pump is completely inaudible.

>>55498526
This. You'll see the better noctua coolers beating the AIO liquid coolers on some sites and losing on others. The difference is what CPU is used to test the coolers. Air coolers arguably have the advantage with lower TDPs while AIO liquid coolers really shine when you start nearing 120 watts to dissipate. So unless you're running an fx 9xxx series or the intel e series of chips then you'll probably want to go with air coolers. Vapour chambers are crazy efficient.

>>55498594
There are only two vapor chamber CPU coolers I know of and both are very expensive and very large

>>55498526
For practical purposes yes, and for most common folk yes. But because you tweaked my autism, from a physics perspective waiting for heat to transfer from a copper or nickel or aluminium plate to fins for air to push the heat away, will not be as efficient as a properly set up liquid cooler as water has better thermal conductivity when flowing over the same metal plates.

NZXT, Deepcool, EKWB, Thermaltake, Swiftech, and basically any company that makes pc parts probably also has an AIO. They're not all bad, and some a fairly quiet. Air coolers by phanteks, noctua, and sometimes be quiet or cryorig have performed just as well as many AIOs.

>>55498667
You do realise that the heat pipes in even the humble 212 are vapour chambers, right? Hell even some stock coolers come with them.

>>55498721
Heat pipe =/= vapor chamber. Vapor chamber is a flat plate with wick towers spread around inside it, a pipe is a tube coated inside with wick material

>>55498716
the small AiOs are great for micro builds. many come with 5 year warranty and are cheaper than making a loop.

id say just use what you need

>>55497948
Just out of curiosity, are you starting threads under the same stupid trip-code asking questions that are meant to be stupid and could be solved on your own? Because this is you too right?

A heat pipe is a vapour chamber but not all vapour chambers are heat pipes. You know, like thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs. Pic related, from some cooler master marketing bs.

>>55498805
Dont act dumb

A vapor chamber is a vacuum sealed and vastly more expensive

>>55498805
This has got to be trolling but I'll reply anyways


Even in the image provided you can see that they show the difference. Youre arguing semantics when even the manufacturer tells you there is a difference

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pipe

Seriously, go read the wiki article. They're vapour chambers. In fact, go enter "vapor chamber" into wikipedia and you'll find yourself redirected to the article on heat pipes.
>Youre arguing semantics when even the manufacturer tells you there is a difference
The image very clearly states that both are vapour chambers and that one is now in 3d because buzzwords.

I'm really conflicted between going for a Evo 212 and a corsair h100i in a HAF X case, keep bouncing back and forth between the two.

>>55499373
H110i isn't worth
At that price point go with a premium air cooler
After the 110 is when water cooling starts being visibly superior

Right guys this thread is relevant to my interests atm....

not my main pc but got an AMD FX-8320 that is gonna combust at any moment, want to run it 100% utilisation for almost 24/7 but it reaches 55C+ on the stock cooler and is noisy as fuck!

Suggest me the best cooler for this application in your opinion, sell it to me.
I have my own ideas but want to see what you guys think

>>55499435
I said h100i, not h110. I don't even think the 280mm radiator fits into the HAF X comfortably.

But yeah, an AIO is 2 to 3 times as expensive for only a slight overall improvement over a premium air cooler, and obviously air coolers can't leak on shit but that's pretty rare from my understanding.

>>55498373
Are you a faggot? No modern computer sounds like a fucking fighter jet you pussy.

If you actually spend more on water cooling because "muh noise" you are a fucking moron.

>>55499569
Isn't water cooling a bit louder anyway since you have pump and fan noise instead of just fan noise?

ctrl f evo 212

Thanks guy or gals for participating in this board, i learned a lot and for now im going air cooled but later on when i get in to overclocking high end processors like fx 9xxx or the 6700 k e or higher end.
My build is black and green (i know pretty shitty colors right) so im going with the evo 212 meme coolers for now but later on will go into the high end area later.

Also to ask what are the best pricing range for water cooling if you don't mind me asking?

you just dropped a brand name and you're calling other people shills

>>55499909
Once you start hitting the hunnits roughly

>>55497948
Get water cool for CPU and then stick it in a sg13, enjoy you're great size case and top tier cooling.
