Cryorig h7 on the cooler master silencio 452

[Louis5562]

Hello everyone, Im thinking about buying a cryorig h7 to put on my pc since my cpu (I5 4460) is getting arround 75C-ish temps while playing games, and I wanted to know if it will fit in my cooler master silencio 452. Thanks in advance.

75c is perfectly fine for your CPU, throttle temp is 100c. The H7 will fit but you'll get no benefits in either longevity or stability.

At 75C most overclockers are thinking... "yeah, I'm done now". But that's on a stress test, Games should run about 10C lower so, yes 75C is high for gaming. Depending on where you are, if you in my temperate zone, it as like 21F out today.... summer temps get into the 90s. Indoor temps might be 68F in winter, and 78F in summer here, but not everyone uses AC.... so it's not unusual to see a 30F (17C) temp swing seasonally. Even with 86F, that 18F swing means CPU is 10C hotter.

Been building PCs for almost 25 years now and at this point, I'm comfy as long as I don't hit 80 on any cores. Peeps w/ a bit more nerve into competitive overclocking will go 85 but outside the DICE / LN2 crowd, folks generally won't go higher... but again, that's on a stress test and 85C on a stress test means 75C in gaming, so you are high.

Now to answer you question... the H7 gets ya about 4C over say the Hyper 212 which is pretty good for $32. Spend $70ish (Phanteks (PH-TC14PE) and yo can pick up 3C more .... spend $85 (Nocta NH-D15) and you can squeeze another 1C.

So here's how you figure it out

Maximum Compatibility for CPU cooler height = 158mm / 6.2 inch

http://www.cryorig.com/h7_us.php

Dimension ( with fan ) L98 mm x W123 mm x H145 mm

145 < 158 therefore you OK

75c will absolutely not do any harm to a modern Intel CPU.
