CPU cooler for none K cpu

P4Clock · 5 Jan 2015 at 15:50

Right now i am going from Water to AIR and i am wanting a CPU cooler that will do the i5 4670 @ 3.8Ghz.

Right now i am using the stock cooler and i get about 68c under load few hours gaming.

I am just wanting a cooler that will keep it a little cooler but must clear my massive ram coolers THIS

Dont have a budget but not wanting to blow a load for a none K cooler

Can you not just put some extra fans in the case to lower the temps a bit? There only cheap and should fix the highish temps

I don't see the point of upgrading the stock cooler, your temps are fine.

Off topic, is your 4670 bottlenecking your gpus?

I had a 2500k @ 4.6 and when I changed CPUs I put the 4670 to run a constant boost on all cores 3.8 and my 3dmark score went up a little so it's not bottle necking as bad as the OC'ed 2500k

I will be getting an i7 but after a £170 phone bill it will be next month now. I will let you know then.

My case is a H440 and all fan points are in use, but on a none cooling subject it as a massive window so I just want something a little better looking then a stock cooler

just get a sub £30 quid air cooler that looks good. should keep your temps in the 50s and will look much better than the crappy intel ones.

something like this will be fine and has good reviews

anything looks better then an intel cooler, if you look at photo 4 it will not cleat my ram HERE

It will clear your ram, you just move the fan up a little bit. Looking at the space 0.5-1cm, no biggy.

Or put the fan on the back, or do both.

Cannot quite tell by the photo but the fan might only cover your DIMM-A1 slot, so if you have ram in your DIMM-A2 and DIMM-B2 slots (like the manual suggests) you might be golden.

But I cannot tell from that photo, I'll see if I can find a side on photo.

It will clear your RAM, and the H440 is big enough for it.

Going to be running 4 sticks so as to clear, my ram sinks are about 15-20mm taller than the ones in the photos but looks ok the run the fan on the back
