Since then I've installed the Frostwin V2 and the highest temp I've hit with any test was 68 C. The odd thing is the idle temp just dropped by only 1-2 C. And although the DC mode runs 200 RPMs faster it's quieter compared to PWM.

Since I couldn't find any of the Hypers anywhere I ordered the Frostwin v2. I was afraid the Neptwin wouldn't fit in my case (it say 155 mm on the box). Thanks for the advice anyway.

It's currently cool in here (Ambient temp around 20 C) so I wanna make sure I'll be safe in the summer (Ambient temp around 30 C)

Thank you all for the help. This is my list now based on priority : Deepcool Neptwin Deepcool GAMMAXX 400 Deepcool GAMMAXX S40 Deepcool Frostwin CM Hyper 212x CM Hyper 212 Evo How would you change their priority based on cooling, noise, etc. ? I didn't include many others like Cryorig...

@feelinfroggy777 Yes I am. You mean there won't be a temp difference between a 20 $ and 40 $ cooler ? Will a cheap cooler really be able to keep my 7700k between 60-70 C ?

I have no experience with any of these so sorry for the noob questions. A few days ago when I ran an encode with x264 for 1 minute RealTemp showed a temperature between 80-85 C with the Intel cooler so my main concern is whether I will see a temperature drop (say like 15-20 C) with these coolers...

@feelinfroggy777 Thanks for the suggestions, but how do they perform compared to the other coolers ? You had the GAMMAXX 400 with the same CPU (7700k) ? If yes I'd like to know the idle and 100% load temps. @MRBANG1 Could you please provide the idle and load temps ? @logainofhades Is there...

Hello. I plan on buying an air cooler for my CPU (i7 7700k), what do you recommend between a 30-45 $ price tag ? I won't be overclocking. Currently I've got my eyes on these : CM Hyper 212 Evo Arctic Freezer I32 DeepCool GAMMAXX 400 Cryorig H7 DeepCool Frostwin V2 Is there a load temp...

Thank you so much guys for all your help.

@13thmonkey Yeah I want the 7700k for its better stock clock and right now I don't think about overclocking. You mean even if I add another stick later which is the same as the one mentioned in the first thread there's a chance that they won't work together ? If yes I'll try to buy a 8 GB kit...

Could you please help me on the mobo guys ?

What if I change the MB to PRIME H270-PRO ? Is it good ? About buying the 7700 instead of 7700k I have to say the cost difference is not considerable and 7700k's single thread performance is better. About the RAM, even if I buy the same stick later they might not work together ? Why ? As for...

Hi guys, thanks for your replies. @poliwaggamers I don't intend to play games and even if I do I'm sure there'll be no problems because my old pc which was way slower than this one could handle the games I play. I mostly do graphical stuff and encode a lot and the applications I use don't use...
