Deepcool Gammaxx GT RGB

[shottyjotty]

So I bought this cooler and it looks awesome. With my stock Wraith cooler i was idling around 40 - 50 and hitting highs of 60 with jumps to 70 (Ryzen), and with this new cooler I'm not going above 59 on full load. So the temps are much better.

However, given the size of the heatsink and such, should I be expecting lower temparatures with this cooler? Does anybody have experience with this cooler? What temps did you get?

I'm running a Ryzen 2600x at stock speeds by the way, and/or overclocked by MSI's "game mode" function - although temp gains are only slightly higher when eabled.

It's medium-sized CPU cooler and temps what you get with it are within reason. Also, you're not running dual-heatsink CPU cooler (e.g NH-D15 or Dark Rock Pro 3) that you'd expect to get even lesser temps.

For temp comparison, you can read it's review(s), e.g this one,

Okay, looks about right. I read reviews from the place I purchased that claimed idling temps of 20-30 but I thought that was a little far fetched, although I have no idea what cpu they were using.

My Arctic Freezer i32, in my Skylake build (full specs with pics in my sig), is also mid-sized CPU cooler and it has almost same dimensions as your Deepcool CPU cooler. Highest what i saw out of my i5-6600K was 55°C during CinebenchR15 while my CPU idles at 26°C. Though, no CPU cooler can give you lesser than ambient temps, unless you're using LN2 cooling.

That's true, and I do only have one intake fan and one exhaust fan that both run below 1000rpm (stock fans with meshify C case) although I like how quiet it is. Would you recommend another intake or exhaust fan?

I'd mount all fan mounts in your case and as follows:
front - 2x 140mm intake
bottom - 1x 120mm intake
top - 2x 140mm exhaust
rear - 1x 120mm exhaust

While installing 6x fans in your PC may look like that you'd get extremely loud noise out of your PC, it's actually vice-versa. The trick is that the more fans you have inside the case, the less each fan has to work to maintain the airflow and the less noise fans produce. Also, 140mm fans move more air and do it more quietly than 120mm fans, hence why i'd go 2x 140mm in front and not 3x 120mm.

Above trick is also a main reason why i have 7x case fans in my Skylake and Haswell builds. Mostly 140mm but few 120mm as well. Since i have that many case fans, i can keep all of my case fans spinning between 800 - 1100 RPM and thanks to this, my PCs are very quiet while still having proper airflow inside my full-tower ATX cases.

Okay cool. I'll look into getting some more fans. Although I can't mount any at the bottom due to the PSU/HDD shroud.

How high is your ambient temperature? Are you using air conditioner? Because my ambient temperature is about 30°C or above, i live in 6° below the equator so its pretty damn hot here

 

[shottyjotty]

My ambient temperature this time of year is about 20c. I think my temps are due to lack of case fans though
