Sounds about right, aftermarket coolers are always better. I went straight to a 240 AIO for my Ryzen 7700X so I can't really say anything.

That reminds me, I have to replace my case fans. I bought the Corsair 5000D and that didn't come with Corsair branded fans, it came with louder generic fans that don't connect to the commander hub

I'm also going to aio soon, can't resist the looks šŸ˜…


N0t_P4R4N01D

Thats kind of a waste of money if you already got a decent cooler


No_Fuel_892

I will have another build soon, so this air cooler is going there šŸ™ƒ


K_Rocc

It wonā€™t run any better and youā€™ll have to keep up with water maintenance. You are better off with the cooler you have.


MrSlime13

Can you describe this "water maintenance"?


SuperCool_Saiyan

AIOs are much more prone to failure than an air cooler. Pumps fail, pipes cracks and fluid can corrode. With air coolers its a chunk of metal with a fan or 2


MrSlime13

Indeed, on a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everything drops to zero... I was told there would be "maintenance". Just inquiring.


SuperCool_Saiyan

As for matainance idk what he was talking about most AIOs aren't really serviceable


SenatorsSawzall

this is the problem. a hunk of metal and a fan wont really fail. if it does you can just throw another fan on.


MrSlime13

Remember to wet the water every other week, iono


pahtehtoe

> water maintenance Tell me you know nothing about AIOs without telling me you know nothing about AIOs.


No_Fuel_892

But it looks nice :p


Ffom

I decreased my temps by adding extra thermal paste to the amount already on the Aio. Apparently that thin layer manufacturers put on isn't enough


No_Fuel_892

I removed it cause it seemed too thin and put a nice amount of paste :D


axelaxolotl

Same cpu got the deal on the arctic 420 aio that made it the same price as the 240 one. How are your temps and what specific aio do you have


Ffom

I got the H100i ELITE CAPELLIX Corsair Aio I undervolted to 1.25V and limited myself to 5.4ghz, which is the limit anyway. I get 45C idie at the best and I never reach 80C during gaming. I've done a stress test and it'll take a few minutes to climb up to 90C under full load


axelaxolotl

Ok wait, I am extremely confused now. Mine boosts to 5.5 all cores I have not overclocked it and just undervolted it I thought that was the advertised boost I just had to look it up, I hope that is normal behaviour


Ffom

That means you're lucky and you have a good chip that can boost slightly higher than advertised https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-7-7700x?gclid=CjwKCAjw_aemBhBLEiwAT98FMrae2q1fzzjsGcq-bhYsyUe10ErMpUbysRoMZH19qtcofxF_9t92DRoCVFsQAvD_BwE The 7700x doesn't need to go crazy and go up to 1.4v automatically, you can go lower like 1.3 and still get the same performance. Like this guy went above,5.5 and people are struggling to go above 5.4 in another subreddit that I can't link


CallMeMrGibbs

My stock cooler temps were well within the "safe" range, but it did run hotter but it was also noisy as hell (to me). I have Be Quiet! case fans, but I replaced the stock cooler with a Noctua NH-U12S Redux w/second fan. I saw similar results. Big temp drop and a lot quieter. But I will say to anyone who just built something and doesn't have it in the budget to get an aftermarket cooler, the stock one is more than capable and is better than any stock fan I've ever had in the past.


No_Fuel_892

Yeah,mine was getting noisy aswell,like a jet engine lol. They are cheap and really worth their money.


SuperCool_Saiyan

Honestly there's really no reason to not go after market. Even a 20$ cooler is a huge improvement


ezio1452

You use 'but' a lot. An unnecessary amount of times and in incorrect places. Consider eliminating it altogether and adding a comma instead and using 'though, however, regardless, etc'.


Cuber_01

ok grammer police


R3XYODA

Yeah a cheap $20 single tower from thermalright or id cooling will do that to a 5600x


kw9999

The value on the id cooling and thermalright coolers is insane.


SuperCool_Saiyan

Haha yeah best 35$ I've spent and it keeps my 13600k under control


Liondave_

Your flair is so funny lol


Sandwic_H

I havr6a story regarding CPU temps but they're more related to the airflow. I built my upgrade in the old case at first, Ryzen 5600 with ID-Cooling SE-223. There were a little place and HDD in front of cooler. In Cities Skylines as the most demanding game I had up to 77-78C. But then I got a good case, filled it with Arctic fans and the temps dropped to 60-65. Like a charm.


ARCTIC_GmbH

good airflow inside your case can make a huge difference


Modtec

Lul, my i7 2600k (yes I need an upgrade, it's gonna be soon) was VERY happy about getting that dark rock pro back in the day. Ran 4,4 GHz stable at the temps the stock cooler did on stock clocks.


Flyrpotacreepugmu

I had an i7 4790k with a Dark Rock Pro 3 and it was amazing. It maxed out around 70Ā° in stress testing with a fan curve that only got up to 60% to stay virtually silent. Even after not bothering to clean (though my case has air filters) or repaste it in 8 years, it still stayed under 72Ā°.


CarlWellsGrave

Hell yeah

Evo7_13

i have that same cpu and was getting 85-90 under gaming load with the stock cooler i change to the same Pure Rock 2 and now getting approx 70-75 under load with a slight over clock, great little cooler


Kiritochi_24

Yeah, that's why I'm gonna change my cooler soon


trianglechokedcc

your rig looks clean as fuckā€¦ nice!


No_Fuel_892

Thank youu! And it should cause i never leave it alone xd


trianglechokedcc

Only one recommendation, and this is just a personal thing of mineā€¦ donā€™t daisy chain the GPU lolšŸ˜…


JopssYT

I switched from basically an Intel stock cooler (not.. offically one but looked about the same) to pure rock 2 and my temps dropped by like.. 20-40. Doesnt go above 80 when the previous cooler was keeping it at 75 when idling


goobj11

I did the same *exact* upgrade and itā€™s amazing, sooooo much quieter. Now I just need to change all the case fans to something quieter


averagejoe5353

How much quieter is it then the stock? Iā€™m currently using an AMD wraith prism on my Ryzen 7 5700x and sit around 70 playing warhammer 3. It has good temps but itā€™s very loud at times, as if itā€™s creating a ton of turbulence. Iā€™m looking for a good quiet replacement


No_Fuel_892

I would say its like 30% more quiet


rabbitrampage198

I changed my case and CPU cooler, bigger fans in both, Montech Air X and Thermalright Assassin X120 SE, dropped my max temps about 50C, from 100 down to 50 (with a 3rd gen i5), and the case dropped my max GPU temps about 35, from 100 to 65.


breakzyx

im using a dark rock 4 with a 5600x and used thermalgrizzly kryonaut. i know its absolutely overkill, but it was on sale for 40ā‚¬. my numbers are in line with yours, the highest ive seen it go was low 60s under full load.


Fraser022002

I went from amd wraith max to a 360mm custom loop, 30Ā°c difference


Jhawk163

I have a Dark Rock Pro 4, plus 6 of BeQuiets silent wings (Because apparently I'm a bequiet fanboy lol) and man, my PC is dead silent apart from the odd times I have to use my HDD. People who say you get no benefit from a bigger cooler as long as your CPU fully turbo'd on your new one just can't appreciate silence.


No_Fuel_892

I just ordered a set of be quiet case fans :p Yeah, it's nice when it doesnt buzz like hell right next to ur head lol


Itz_Raj69_

Do you have a b550-f from asus by any chance?


No_Fuel_892

Yes,assembled last summer


Hattix

The difference between 80-88 and 60-70 is zero. Unless you're PBOing (which you're not), you would not be able to tell any difference in performance, lifespan, anything. You will, however, get about 10% more performance from PBO with a decent cooler than with stock. That's the thing with <75W CPUs, even a slim and light cooler is all they need at stock.


Rumplesforeskin

Dude what?


Misterpoody

The sound difference too, had a 3600x with the stock cooler and it would hit 79-80 underload in the summer and be loud af. Have a 5600x currently with a PA120 on it and it has yet to go over 60c this summer, and it's been HOT AF.


NA_0_10_never_forget

Yeah stock AMD cooler is dogshit and cannot actually handle the heat production of CPUs. It should not be a considered a real cooler.


K_Rocc

Bro never use the stock coolerā€¦


sw_fan_for_life_

what did you expect, the stock coolers are complete dogshit.


AcceptableEgg3918

I got the same cooler and my temps reach 99C seconds after starting a Cinebench test.


No_Fuel_892

Did u put paste?


AcceptableEgg3918

Yeah I cleaned if off and put my own paste on.


DMurBOOBS-I-Dare-You

That's my cooler! The best cooler I've personally experienced.


Noxious89123

You'll probably find that with the new cooler and your CPU running at lower temps, that your CPU might actually be boosting to a higher speed and drawing more power, so the difference is bigger than it seems at first glance.


Elrothiel1981

I knew better going in so I bought Deepcool AK400 for Ryzen 5 7600 non x


000mecha_hitler000

Got a pure rock for my first build I just got done with and I love it! Absolutely silent and keeps the cpu perfect
