Which cooler of these three ?

[Luka]

Hi, my CPU is AMD FX 8320 (planning to overclock it to 4,5 GHz) and the MBO is Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0, the case I have is Zalman R1 mid tower case.

I want a Raijintek CPU cooler, but I dont know which is better because I couldnt find any comparisons between them.

1. Raijintek Ereboss 140 mm

2. Raijintek Pallas, 140mm

3. Raijintek Themis EVO DD, 2x120mm, PWM (it has 2 120mm fans) -----_->(http://www.futura-it.hr/katalog/komponente/hladnjaciventilatori/hladnjaci-za-procesor/themisevodd/)

Which one has better perfomance, better cooling ?

The Ereboss is the best.

What about Raijintek Themis EVO DD, 2x120mm, it has 2 fans, shouldn˙t it be better than Ereboss ?

Well I found this on the Ereboss and thermis

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Raijintek/Themis/6.html

The difference seems to be 1 degree with the same test system

If you put a bigger fan on the Ereboss it should be better than a 2 fan themis so in the long run it's still going to be better

Ereboss should out perform the others right out of the box. I haven't tested them but the designs are very similar to others. Ereboss is basically a copy of Thermalright HR-02 / Macho .. which is a great cooler. While Macho is not top tier, it's but not far behind. My guess from looking at reviews is Ereboss is 3-5c warmer than Macho.

I found another cooler called Coolink Corator DS

It seems like its even better than the Ereboss, right ?

Have you consider CoolerMaster ones? Their coolers are rather impressive as well. I had the Hyper, super quiet and efficient.

That Coolink is very noisy.

If you are interested in other possible coole suggestions, knowing where you live and what websites you can buy from would be helpful.

I haven't used Raijintek so I recommend cooler master hyper 212 evo

If your overclocking on that AMD chip get the Ereboss grab a second fan for it the Ereboss has more surface area and will not reach thermal saturation. as for the Hyper 212 EVO it will not do so well on such a hot power hungry chip

The Coolink is actually a viable option. its basically a cut down NH-D14. since Coolink is closely related to Noctua which most people here seem not to notice. you can add more fans to it granted it does not include extra fan clips but be creative use some rubber bands or zip ties.

To be honest I am not sure what the max cooler height is for your case since no idea what case it is exactly.

But to break it down.

Hyper 212 Evo it performs worse than the Raijintek Ereboss and Themis and costs the same or more.
Coolink = Noctua but lower quality, adding a second fan via some zip ties or etc will greatly improve its performance while keeping noise levels down. Notice in the review you posted I was using a 3960x extreme edition overclocked and it was an ES chip it could pull nearly 200-240w it was power hungry and as can be seen the Coolink dominated the Hyper 212 Evo,


If the Coolink that is available supports your socket and is priced similar to say the Ereboss i would take the Coolink. Ziptie a second fan do it and call it a day.

@crazyeyesreaper, thanks for your extensive reply. I changed my mind about the CPU. I`ll go with a i5 4690k 3,5 GHz rather than AMD. And of course, Cooling corator cpu cooler, hope it will cool well when I oc the cpu to 4,5 , 4,6 ghz.
