Which cooler for ryzen

[BoboOOZ]

I don't know the market in Denmark, I would find the price a bit high for what it is for France. I think you get better deals by buying European brands in Europe, but we are all different

Let us know if you find the improvement significant.

Noctua NH-U14S cost 25% more but isn't noticable better than the fuma 2 at medium wattage, my cpu just uses around 95 watt

 

[AsRock]

You have to be careful with reviews, even more so when one has a greater fan speed which is why i like Gamers Nexus for, either way it should serve you well.

 

[BoboOOZ]

That's I was telling you, I got my U14S on Amazon from Noctua directly, for 50 euro delivered.

 

[gasolin]

The price i payed was not to bad

NH-D15S, over kill ),

true that.
running my i5 10500 0rpm fan on desktop,keeps the cpu at around 40 with spikes to 45-47.

I don't think at all it's over kill, since you need alot extra colling for the cpu cooler to be able to cool a cpu without any excisive noise at any load besides 90-00% load on a high end cpu like a ryzen 3800x or intel 10700k at 5ghz +

 

[Shou Miko]

@gasolin how about noise are you using the original Scythe fans or you running Noctua's on the Fuma 2?

 

[gasolin]

nothing

I don't have noctua fans and i don't have the cooler

If the fans isn't good enough im gonna use Arctic P12 PWm fans

(my system specs are up to date)

Arctic's P12 PWM fans are actually a alright fan, used them at work for custom builts or for replacements because they are comming in at a good price but I won't use them in my personal rig.

At the moment I am using the default Fractal Design Dynamic X2 GP-12 PWM fans on my AIO runing at 75% at all time because the smart mode makes the fan do weird spin ups and downs under light to none loads.

I get 80c in cinebench @ 4200 all core with a room temp of 35.5 so well within spec.

Like in my pic other post the CPU fans are only running 1kRPM.

EDIT:

Ryzen 5 3600 is a nice CPU but it's not high end, sure you might upgrade later which is why i opted for the NH-D15 as they normally do brackets later on for under 10$.

I'm putting a 3800X together next week.
I decided to try a 140mm Kraken-X41 out, and if that doesn't do it, I have a 360mm AlphaCool kit that will.

I have a 3700x with 12mm aio in a mitx case and it seems to do fine. Haven't used it much though but it seems to at least be better and way more quieter than the Wraith in my refrigerator box case.

 

[gasolin]

Cooler shipped, with my 240mm aio and 2 Arctic p12 pwm in aida64 cpu + fpu it peaks a sec at 76c but stabilize at 74-75c and on a cool evening with the door open to my balcony it can stay at light load around 10% at max 40c, gaming around 51c

Cpu cooler mounted

very short test

prime 95 small fft 68c 600-615 rpm

Aida64 cpu + fpu peaking at 72c stable at 71c 752 rpm

IBT High (x10) peaking at 70c after x7 rpm 580-620 rpm

low usage (under 10%) stil under 40 c peaking 10 c, 2% cpu usage 35c low rpm around 600 rpm

Not bad wish it was tested on a Ryzen 9 3900X or 3950 so we could see what it could really do.

 

[gasolin]

I don't need 12 or 16 cores.

In my experience the 2600 is better at gaming than a 1700, the 3600 is better at gaming than a 2700, i expect the 4600 to be better than a 3700x in gaming, even at the same ghz, i would only get an 8 core 4000 if it's cheap, since i don't stream on twitch (games) and with a sapphire rx 5600 xt pulse i think i have enough power with a a ryzen 3600 at 4.3ghz 1.200 volt (load line calibration is on aut).

I would also prefer a 6 core with high ghz than an 8 core running 200-300mhz lower than the 6 core with the same microarchitecture, nm, since in most games ghz,mhz matters more than cores.

easily.

it's funny how people still don't understand how r3000 works in games.
more cores will usually give you dick on ryzen 3000
the reason 3700x is slightly faster than 3600 and 3900x than 3700x is that they're higher bins.not more cores.only one ccx/ccd is prioritized in gaming loads.go on youtube and see how many threads are sitting at 10-20% load on a 3700x

Hi all, I'm new here. I'm upgrading my setup with Ryzen 3800X + ASUS TUF Gaming B550-Plus, 90MB14G0-M9EAY0 + 16GB RAM
Crucial Ballistix - BL2K8G32C16U4R and I need a decent air cooler. I live in Brazil and right now, water coolers are WAY to expensive here. I'm not doing any overclocking.
I'm looking at this "Scythe TUF Mugen 5 - SCMG-5100TUF" fan, and I wonder if is enough to cool the Ryzen 3800X. I also have a RTX 2080 GPU and plan to play games at 4K resolution (when possible).
Already bought CPU/Mobo/RAM though. Will the Scythe TUF Mugen 5 be enough ? I use my computer to play single-player games most of the time, no other heavy apps. Will it prevent throttle?

There isn't too many air cooler options for me to choose from. I almost bought a Scythe Ninja 5 but it's way to big and very heavy (1000g)... bend the mobo in time?
Thanks.

No, get a Scythe fuma 2 instead

 

[CiroConsentino]

I Can't find Fuma2 anywhere, out of stock. No, as in Mugen5 is not enough for the setup or because Fuma2 is better?

 

[gasolin]

Fuma 2 is better, not shure a mugen 5 is enough

huh, I found a water cooler from "Cooler Master" brand, MasterLiquid ML120L V2 RGB. It's the 2nd revision but it uses a 120mm radiator. Would that be good ? It's cheaper than Fuma2 air cooler. But I'm affraid of leakage and the fact that it lasts no more than 3 years, if it lasts that long.
I've always heard people saying "stay away from CoolerMaster AIOs!"...
I saw a unit test in YouTube and it seems to work ok but for a Ryzen 3600 and it seems a quiet unit. The V2 model has just been released.

NO if you want an aio for an 8 core ryzen you must buy a minimum 240mm aio

What you trying (want) to do is cool a high performing cpu with a low budget 120mm aio, that's like using 2133mhz ram for a ryzen cpu, it might work but fare from giving you the best performance

 

[CiroConsentino]

Cooler Master does have the 240mm radiator version.
https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/cpu-liquid-coolers/masterliquid-ml240l-v2-rgb/
This one seems pretty decent.
AIO from Corsair is out of my price range right now.
My computer case AeroCool Aero-1000 is a full tower and have an extra space at the top for a 360mm radiator.
Thanks for the help, I have zero knowledge on Water Coolers, never used one before.

Some tricks,

• The cpu heatsink is domed, so it is best to buy a 'dished cold plate' cpu cooler,
• Good pressure is key,
• Liquid metal solves the problem like it doesn't even exist.
