I really don't' know if it's much better than that h7 cooler but I personally really like having a (most of the time) fanless system.

I like the Radeon RX 470 for the same reason, btw. Idles at 45C without a fan as long as you're not gaming.

Bought 4 DM001's and put them in two different RAID arrays.

All failed.

Sent first drive back to Seagate under warranty. Got the drive back DOA. Sent the second drive to Shitgate when that failed. Got another DOA drive back. Didn't bother to send them the last drives, why bother.

I was a bit afraid though because apparently Scythe coolers can bend Skylake CPUs (Assuming Kabylake too) but my Kotetsu came with the proper aluminum washers.

As long as you get the aluminum washers with a Scythe cooler you're fine.

Scythe used to be a go-to brand here before people started shilling things like the V8, and cooler discourse never recovered

Shit, Xigmatek was making better heatpipe towers when the 212 existed, and people STILL recommended the 212

CM has always been incredibly overrated, mostly due to being cheap and hitting the "good-enough" market

Fans are the same deal, Arctic Cooling made excellent fans even before they were saving the 8800GT, but for whatever reason, Noctua's are considered the end-all perfect fan, despite being triple the price

I guess it depends on what you want. As far as air coolers go, Scythe, BeQuiet and Noctua in my opinion are the best all-around coolers in terms of price, performance and noise.

Scythe is significantly cheaper than the other two and has been around for quite some time. The Mugen and Kotetsu are very heavily shilled on places like Silentpcreview. That place doesn't really take performance into the equation, more so how much noise something makes. That said, the Kotetsu performs as good as Noctua's 140mm cooler and better than my NH-U12S while being $25 cheaper.

Noctua is the Apple of cooling. You're paying a premium for the brand. Noctua is still the best in terms of all-around cooling though, and if you're willing to spend the extra money go for it. They also give you a 5 year warranty which is really nice and their customer service in unmatched.

BeQuiet is parallel to Noctua in everything besides the warranty and customer service. Their fans are actually quieter, but perform slightly worse than Noctua's.

If you don't give a shit about noise the Hyper 212 Evo is hard to beat.

The Cryorig H7 is much better at only $10 more, but is a bit more louder than the Kotetsu. The Kotetsu out-performs the Cryorig H5 in both temps and noise. So for $5, you can get something that might not look as nice, but performs better and is much quieter.

The only thing I don't like about Scythe is their mounting system. Noctua by far has the easiest mounting system out of any air cooler.
>>
>>59906758
Well the good thing about AMD stock coolers in comparison is they don't put wires that can easily get caught in the fan all around it.

I also had that particular AMD heatsink and it actually worked pretty well even if the processor it came with and most of their shit is trash.

That shit is cheaper than the Hyper 212 EVO in my country (Portugal). Should I get one for my R5 1600X build?
I plan to overclock, is it enough?

What would be the best air cooler to upgrade from the 212 Evo? Price is no concern, but I would like for it to fit within a similar space.
