spec me a beefy - but small cooler

233 · 3 Aug 2022 at 09:53

upgrading my inwin A1+ rig atm which has been happily running a 3600 around 80-85 degrees loaded under a stock cooler for the past couple of years without issue

biting the buillet and going for a 5900x as a last hurrah on AM4 and think it might be prudent to get a decent cooler on there
i dont really fancy a new case as the inwin is lovely and neat but i dont think a stock amd cooler is going to keep it cool enough.

any suggestions for a decent cooler that will fit in the inwin A1?

and that is a corking cooler even with the odd colour scheme fans (also available in black)

Sythe mugen 5 is a decent for the money also available in black.

I've got a Vetroo V5 cooler, keeps my CPU at a max of 58C in Cinebench R23 and up to 64C gaming in BF 2042. Its £ 32.99 at a certain online store. Max height 148mm. The 5900x probably runs hotter but it should still do a decent job.

Freezer 34 esports duo?

Im the same boat as you. Upgrading from 3600 to 5900x and reusing the above cooler when it arrives.

edit:

Did a quick load test with 3600 with the stock cooler and it managed to hit 94C with ambient temps around 22C

Installed the 5900x and freezer 34 esports duo. Ran a 1 hr load test and avg temps were around 70C with ambient temps around 20C
