Cpu cooler

[Robbie_G]

That cooler you chose (hs-011-pt) is still a good cooler and will match your build so that may be your option as the rest are a little too high.

 

[class2ldn]

Yeah might have to go for that.

 

[class2ldn]

Just had a look on a different sight and it says it 178 mm lol must be wrong.
This will definitely work with the 6700k? and gigabyte gaming 7 mobo?

 

[Robbie_G]

Yes they are wrong it's 157 high. I can't see why it wouldn't work.

 

[class2ldn]

I thought so. Had a look at the CRYORIG h7 but oc don't sell it.
Do you know anything about it?

 

[AdamScott85]

Damn so your case is 160, that rules out a lot of the bigger ones. Going of the size and if I am seeing this correct this is 140mm

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/alpe...emium-twin-heatsink-cpu-cooler-hs-052-al.html looks good too.

 

[class2ldn]

Yeah which is a pain.

We are currently in discussions with cryorig as they are good coolers. I'm not sure on the dimensions though not looked that far into it.

 

[class2ldn]

Seems to be a popular cooler and from what I've seen it would fit mine.

 

[Jony27]

Right so I need to be under 160.
Any ideas?

What about this?

I also had this but in Red

Main differences between the above and the Dark Rock Pro 3 is size/noise/temps, might be obvious but thought I'd point it out

Noticed around 10-15C difference in my temps while remaining a lot quieter.

 

[class2ldn]

So it's fairly quiet then?
Had a loud fan in my last computer and it drove me nuts lol
Its a tight squeeze on mine as it's only 2mm shorter then the limit according to the specs but hopefully will be OK.

Hi there - I am considering getting the P400 case - are you completely against an AIO water cooler? I'm novice, but had thought anout the possibility. Your research seems to suggest there's nothing suitable...

I meant as the Dark Rock Pro 3 being quieter

But the Phantek was quiet enough for me

 

[class2ldn]

Yeah I liked the look of that dark rock pro but it's a shame it won't fit

I just worry about them leaking, I know there's no reason it should but od rather rule out any risk atall.

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/phanteks-ph-tc14cs-cpu-cooler-blue-hs-008-pt.htmlmust have missed this one. Would go well with my blue and white theme

 

[class2ldn]

Well think I'm going to go with the noctua dh14, would prefer the 15 but it won't fit

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/noctua-nh-d14-dual-radiator-cpu-cooler-hs-011-nc.html
It's 160 so right on the limit but I'm sure it will be OK.
What do you guys think?

 

[Deleted member 68110]

While I find most PC components pretty unattractive, and would rather close them up behind a solid panel rather than windowed cases - that Phanteks cooler looks cool.

I was looking around and I'm drawn to this Scythe Mugen:-

If anyone can confirm that it has the right orientation to help direct air in from the front of the case and out the back...

...then that'll go on my list.

 

[class2ldn]

Well ordered the noctua dh14. Should be here tomorrow

NH-D14 is a very good cooler. It's only down side is all s have variable voltage fans except for the 2011 model which has PWM fans. Most motherboards support both so it's only a deal breaker if yours is one of the few that has only PWM control on CPU fan headers.
