air cooler and setting for an 13900kf

[WARburton]

looking for an air cooler sub £40 or i'll got AIO and setting for an 13900kf to run good under said air cooler

Find a second-hand Noctua NH-D15.

 

[mickyflinn]

The best cooler under £40 is the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 but I would get the arctic liquid freezer iii 360 for £65 if it fits your case..

 

[WARburton]

I didn’t realise it was that cheap

 

[pastymuncher]

It's even cheaper as it's just under £36 at the moment, the Phantom Spirit Evo is only £44. The Thermalright Frozen Notte 240mm AIO is only just over £44 and two of their other 240mm AIO's are just under that price. The Thermalright AQUA ELITE 360 V3 AIO is less than £50 and a couple of others are around that price as well. White versions are cheaper, sometimes as much as £10 cheaper. All are very good and have been getting excellent reviews.

I’m assuming this is not ocuk?

 

[doyll]

Thermalright has best pricing in the industry with as good or better quality

I'd suggest you power limit it (PL1/PL2) to under 200 watts. If you're only gaming then 125-150 would also work.

The Intel profiles with the patched microcode should set it to 253, or less, but I don't think that would be very pleasant to run on an air cooler.

As @mickyflinn listed a few AIO prices we have decided to grab a liquid freezer iii 360

But the system will be set up for gaming. I would like to keep a little leg room in the pl1 and 2 but the board will be a B760 so would like to drop that to a safe limit

It was a just but the 360 is in and with intels updated limits it not that hot but only run 2 benchmarks before work.

What temps you getting?

What temps you getting?

im still very much in the setup.
in cinebench r23 after 1 run top temp was 68. ive not done a 10min pass yet as im now installing all the drivers

ive been working

 

[WARburton]

so 83c max temp but also 4.9Ghz max core speed, for a score of 35,152 after a 10min run.
this is with the new stock intel limits.

 

[WARburton]

so after an asus seting run. Pcore 8 hit 91c all others are at 85/88c. i got the same CB score, the cpu did boost to 5.3 for the first 2 runs but then throttled down the rest of the time.

 

[WARburton]

so it turns out arctic cut the price of the AIO because of pump noise..
at anything passed 55% its load at passed 80% its unbearable.

its so loud i thought it was my PSU fan at 100%

I don't understand what's happening here. System should boost as long as temps are below 100c, so why does it boost to 5.3 a cople of runs then start throttling? My thinking is unless something is set to throttle at lower temp, than it should keep on pushing higher loads until it hits 100c. I know some have PROCHOT. If yours does and it's set at 15, I think CPU will start throttling at 85c (15c offset from100c).

Seems this throttling issue is a known problem with i9-13900. At least a quick google got lots of hits about it.

 

[WARburton]

the new intel limits have set max to 90 if you tell it to. and well below that if you dont. i will look up PROCHOT
