I underestimated the heat generated by the 10900k. I now have a dark rock 4 with 2 fans on it and 4x140mm case fans. I also took out a wd black mechanical hard drive as it seemed to be quite hot.
With a headset on I can hear the 140mm fans under load. I'm not particularly fond of this tbh. Temps have fallen overall though after adding these fans and removing the hard drive.
I had a Corsair AIO cpu cooler before but the pump didn't work and it put me off them in a big way. So I'm scared of AIO coolers now but the artic freezer 2 does look good. They do route the heat away pretty well.
Has anyone been in a similar pickle and took the plunge on a better cooler, maybe an AIO and was it worth it in the end for you?
Like would I see a decent difference between the dark rock and something like the nh d15?
This is one of those kinda depressing/not fun at all upgrades and I kinda hate the thought of doing it lol.
Something just tells me that an AIO for this particular cpu would be good.
