Better performer - TS15A or the Coolermaster TX3 Evo air cooler

[OracleofMind]

which is better performing the Intel thermal solution TS15A or the Coolermaster hyper TX3 evo air cooler?

P.S.
No plan to overclock my i5-7600k
on a z270x-Gaming K5 motherboard

TX3 by quite a bit, even if it's not a "high tier" air cooler. The 7600k doesn't come with a stock cooler so IDK if you already have one or you expect to get one

When I actually purchased my 7600k, my intention was to purchase an aftermarket cooler with it but the supplier at the time didn't have any on hand so (being the impulsive one) I got the Intel thermal solution TS15A.

Just to be sure I got your answer right..

The TX3 Evo will give better performance than the TS15A right?

Yes

Better yes bit if you're not overclocking its a fair waste of money IMO.

That Intel cooler is good enough at stock speeds easily.

If noise is more the issue then the tx3 evo is also noisy anyway.
The deepcool gammaxx 300 & cm hyper 103 should be much the same price & are both better (& quieter) coolers than the tx3.

I agree. Just want to keep overclocking an option later on.

thanks for the reply.

Np mate , on a budget always the gammaxx 300 IMO if it's available - its far far better than the tx3 evo - we're talking 50c or so prime95 temps at stock speeds on an i5.

He said in a previous post that he already has the TX3

 

[madmatt30]

I read he has the the upgraded Intel cooler not the tx3 ??
