In this list there is one better then the assassin3 cus he cools the rams too It will be best if cools benches will include ram cooling by cpu air coolers

Lmao

I Have 2700x too and am looking for a cooler for oc'ing

@@tim1366 I'm on 4.2 all core on stock cooler 2700x. wraith rgb prism. Using MX-4 paste. Temps r good. Make sure your case fans are working good, good airflow is the key, its not always changing the cooler.

What's the CPU

@@freegamer7425 3700X. It's a bit overkill for a CPU that's so power efficient, but I got the cooler as a gift and I know I'll be able to carry it across future builds for many years.

@@DrearierSpider1 What I should choose for a ryzen 9 3900x. I am kind of confused. Going to get it in March..

Ditto

The Snowman MT-6 is interesting, the 6 heatpipe version.

PietroSoft Exactly! Tech YES city did a review on the 4 heatpipe version (mind you, not as in-depth as Ponchato does 'em) and found that the MT6 isn't quite worth the extra bulk, but it would certainly be interesting to see how they both stack up against the big ones.

If you care about noise, ninja is best. That few degrees of temperature difference on cheapest and most expensive cooler are irrelevant, all tems are really low and far below max temps allowed. There is no reason to cool CPU that low. But many people see enthusiast videos and and see that temps matter. Many people can overprice their PCs by choose overkill and expensive cooling solution

Im thinking of buying this on a micro atx motherboard for a ryzen 5 3600, should i buy it?

I just built an i9-9900K and can't get it overclocked above 4.9 without crashing. I am currently cooling it with a Scythe Mugan 5 and was going to upgrade to a Noctua NH-D15 because most reviews show it to be the best air cooler. Anyone have any hands on builds with the Noctua and the i9-9900K?

Nh-u12a is a monster in small size! I really like it. Not so heavy as Many competitors, but creat coolin power and really easy to install. I have four memory sticks and it fits so nicely!

Because this test is flawed. This cpu is just weak to test these coolers. D15 wins basically every air cooler test.

@@tomreidy1237 I'm sure you found a solution by now - but check out tech deals KZfaq channel, one of his bench units is the 9900k and 15d

@@mgoogyi this test is using a specific chip, its not flawed. It doesnt show what each cooler is capable of , but its not flawed. You're looking for results for a different chip, whatever it is. The d15 is a much better cooler than this test shows, but on this chip - these are his results. Do your homework before you buy is all ya can do.....

Imo, the Dark Rock 4 is a top contender in this list. The Pro would have won, and looks so much better.

As a Dark Rock Pro 3 owner I can tell you Be Quiet also sells AM4 mounting kits as mentioned about the Notchua.

My question exactly. As a Pro 4 owner I was confused.

@@cthuemmel1 Doesn't cool better than D15, doesn't beat Fuma 2 in the noise department, not impressive RAM and case compatibility. If you ask me, DRP4 wouldn't move the needle at all, it's just a worse D15

Its like 2-3 degrees warmer than the d15 on load temps and costs than the chroma version of d15 while looking better (the black d15 looks as nice but is more expensive)

The new Zalman CNPS20X is a beast.

@@SrUnr3al I installed my NH-D15 a couple of weeks ago, to replace my old liquid cooler before it could go bad and leak all over my motherboard and CPU socket. To my surprise with my 140w TDP i7-5820k the new air cooler (with Thermal Grizzly thermal paste, which beats out the provided Noctua NT-H1 paste by about 50% better thermal transfer) significantly out performs my old liquid cooler, beating the "100% CPU for over an hour" video rendering workload temperature by a consistent 15C! I was expecting that the air cooler couldn't be that good - I'm most impressed!

My 70 c on a 9900k at 5.2 under a nhd 15 makes me happy the assassin 3 was is a cool 72 and the (nhc14 is 78 the last one is no langer sold) I tryed the deepcool dual tower at 85-91 c . I think your right the big boys have more mass for more cooling.

I feel sure Ponchato will be pleased to that test for you. Just send him a 9900k and a motherboard.

@@jross985 he shouldn't be doing roundup tests if he doesn't have the proper equipment to stress the heatsinks properly.

@@MrKoniu77 that's stupid.

@@MrKoniu77 not all us have 9900ks just lying around for a bench test. Some us actually build tight budget to high mid-range pcs.

Such a big cooler on an ITX board? No wonder you are having problems.

No

Cheap fks

Lol you get the strongest spear and the hardest shield all in one

You're gonna need to strap rgb on it to get a 40% performance increase

Same here. In general, can't go wrong with Scythe, especially with their prices. Has one Mugen 5 Rev. B PCGH Edition in my file server and frankly, I need to check it each time if it's working, that silent. Fuma 2 is rocking my main system, best choice I've made, helped by the retailer out of the 3 models I had in mind (Dark Rock Pro 4, Noctua NH-U12A & Fuma 2)

The Evo212 can’t keep my 9700k cool. I switched to Scythe Ninja 5.

Also the Fuma 2

@@PietroSoft *smh* Get simply 2 Kaze Flex 1200 RPM's for the Ninja 5, although tests proof that placing other/better fans don't do much in the performance of this cooler. For the Fuma 2, fine you can do it, but are you willing to give up the ram clearance and the "trick" that makes this cooler perform so well (contra rotating fans creating better directed airflow, static pressure and cancelation of noise.)?

@@dorientjewoller113 1200 RPM its too low for me. I deal with tdp monsters, i need all the performance i can get, without the pc sounding like a jet. The Noctua fans nf-a12x25 are perfect. I would like to see how the Ninja 5 and Fuma 2 perform with those fans. Yeah, i am willing to do the sacrifice, or simply just put the fan a little bit higher for better ram clearance. The contra rotating thing seems to be just a gimmick. Right now, i have a 5960X @4.5 and a NH-U12A. When the CPU is pushed to the limit gets close to 250W, on the CPU alone, the NH-U12A handles it like a champ without making too much noise. The Fuma 2 with 1200 RPM fans i think it wouldn't be able to handle that load, but with faster fans there is a possibility that it get close to the NH-U12A or even beat it.

@@PietroSoft So, which of the 2 consider you a gimmick, Scythe which is known to mod Noctua's for 20 years in Japan to cool systems for industrial purposes, or Noctua.

@@dorientjewoller113 I know that Scythe has history. But the counter rotating thing, really looks like a gimmick to me. Both are great. Also i dont expect the counter rotating thing can beat the performance of the practically best 120mm fans in the market.

Thought the same....

Use pcpartpicker

Im thinking of buying the ninja 5 on a micro atx motherboard for a ryzen 5 3600, should i buy it?

@@catman8173 try to make sure if it fits with case and the motherboard you want, i got a atx board and with the case i have it barely fit in with the rear fan eventually i decided that i wanted to switch the rear fan to a slim version so theres a little bit of a gap to allow for better airflow so if you can make sure that theres a decent enough gab on rear fan to the ninja 5, i dont think the ninja can block it necessarily but its better safe then sorry also if it blocks the rear fan you could also take one of the ninja fans and use it on the rear fans im using a 3600 aswell and its doing a really good job while staying quite the max temp i got was 75 celcius while gaming and it always goes down quick if it reaches these temps. if u dont mind the cooler beein a little louder u could use the fuma2 tough, apperantly it performs little better but for to cost of beeing a little bit louder
