I have a 8700k and got a h7 for it during xmas due to price concerns. Didnt want to ask for too much since i asked for a bunch of PC parts. I have it OC'd to 4.7 but it gets hot with my H7. using mx-4 paste. Reseated it, still hot. Gets up to 84-85C when games are loading or in benchmarks and its the winter in california here Gets 20-30F more temp wise in the summer in my room. CPU hits 60-75C during game play. Would like to keep it under 80 at all times, and have the option of OCing it further with out heat concerns on benchmarks or loading. Also, summer gaming is a must so i think i should upgrade the cooler.
I was looking up the noctua dh-15 briefly and it seems my trident z ram is too tall for dual fan mode. Is it even worth getting if im running it in single fan mode?
I have a corsair Air 540 case. Says max CPU cooler is 170 mm. I have 2 sticks of 3600 trident z RAM totalling 16 GB.
What cooler would you guys reccomend? I know nothing of water cooling and dont want to try. Id spend around 100 bucks on a cooler now. not limited to budget ones.
What heat sinks will fit in my case and work with trident z ram? I have a 1080ti in there too if that matters, thing is fine temp wise. Doesnt get hotter than 60-65C when OC'd.
