The stock cooler does a fine job unless you plan on really pushing the CPU and overclocking

Have you monitored your temps bud

Gray2233 · 29 Feb 2020 at 19:40

What's the full specification of your system, including your power supply?

What sort of temps are you getting?

roger_37 · 29 Feb 2020 at 19:41

yes was using core temp now 48° highest in game was 112°.

Gray2233 · 29 Feb 2020 at 19:45

If you're getting 112C in games there's something wrong.

Are you using the stock cooler or a third party? Although even if it's the stock you shouldn't be hitting that high, could be a mounting problem?

It'd still help to know the rest of your specifications.

You shouldn't be getting over 95c as the CPU will throttle down.
Try using hwinfo to record temps while gaming.

I would recommend reseating your heatsink and reapplying thermal paste, be sure to clean off the existing when doing so on both the CPU and HSF.

The stock cooler shouldn't be performing that poorly, I'm surprised it's happening at all as it should throttle.

You can't go wrong with Arctic MX4 for the price, stay any from anything liquid metal based.

looking at the case I would say the airflow could be better, the front fan placement isnt in the best place to get cool air to the CPU. I'd put another couple of case fans in to increase the airflow through the case.

thanks grimlley do you mean the new case bequite 600, or the one im using now? thanks

Grimley · 1 Mar 2020 at 11:35

Either one as there is 2 case fans supplied with each case.

The BeQuiet 600 has pretty subpar cooling as well. I would go with something with better airflow i.e Fractal Meshify C.

i needed to have the optical drive bay, that is one of the reasones i picked the 600,hope the extra fan helps

The Phanteks Enthoo Pro M has a 5.25" bay and has a mesh front. Out of stock though at the minute. Also you could go with a cheaper cooler as the D15 is overkill for an R5 3600. The Scythe Mugen ones are good for the money.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Glass Midi Tower Case - Black= £94.99
1 x Scythe SCMG-5100 Mugen 5 Rev.B CPU Cooler= £42.95
1 x Scythe SCMG-5PCGH Mugen 5 "PCGH Edition" CPU Cooler= £46.99

Total: £197.23 (includes shipping: £12.30)
