So basically, I currently have an 256 GB M.2 SSD which is being used as my Windows boot drive as well as for various games. However, I would like to upgrade this M.2 SSD to another M.2 with more storage. I know there are ways to upgrade your SSD and transfer your OS/boot drive to another SSD...

Ive decided that I am going to get the Arctic Freezer, but which version should I get? The 34 with the single fan? or the DUO with dual fans? Is it performance increase worth the extra $7 to get the DUO or is it just better to save money and get the single?

Alright, I was not planning on getting that anyways. Thanks for letting me know!

Yeah, the mugen is ahead, but it is a minimal difference of 2 degrees, which shouldn’t matter than much when temps are around 58 degrees, or does it matter a lot?

Ah, okay. But since it is $50, you think that the money could be better spent on one of the higher end coolers that cost the same amount?

I just realized that you did not list this cooler but someone else did (https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Freezer-eSports-DUO-Configuration/dp/B07MJGNJB3/ref=sr_1_1?crid=15WY63DXLRVGS&dchild=1&keywords=arctic+freezer+34+esports+duo&qid=1622714749&sprefix=arctic+freeze%2Caps%2C338&sr=8-1) Is it any...

The $50 as in the 4 that you listed should all be around the same performance, which is better performance than the two white coolers + hyper 212 that you listed, correct? I am just wondering b/c one of the white ones is $50 but is it the same performance (the arctic freezer).

Are these coolers on par with the white coolers you listed earlier, or do they perform way better? If so I am thinking about the TC14s because on newegg there is a $30 mail in rebate, making it $20 only

Disregarding the white color, what are some good coolers for <$50. Is the hyper 212 evo any good or the one someone previously mentioned above

Yeah i am reusing the 9400F cooler

I did that and just retested and at idle is 0-5% with temps around 50. When gaming though, it goes to around 80-85ish peaking at 91 with a load around 45-50% which is still very very hot.

My load is around 5-8% when idke

Sorry, when idle it is around 60-65ish degrees celsius. I meant that my room temperature is 75-77 degrees fahrenheit.

I used the pre applied thermal paste that came with the stock cooler. My ambient temp is not too high, hovering around 76-78 degrees. Yeah those are pretty expensive.

My new i7 9700K runs extremely hot (90 - 100 degrees) under 40-50% load. I was wondering if this is abnormal or not. I know that the intel stock cooler is bad, but are these normal temps for the stock cooler. Furthermore, I am looking to change my stock cooler to a new CPU cooler, but I do not...
