i5 4790K cooling problem rendering with Vegas Pro 12

[anakhsunamon]

I have a problem when I try to render a video with Sony Vegas Pro 12.

My CPU load will go up to 94-100% and the temp rises to 98-100 degrees on all cores.
I have the stock fan installed on my cpu Motherboard.

So what I would like to know is, what is a really good cooler to fix that problem. Iam not really that technical but I understand you can also replace heatsink? And apply termal paste? But what fan cooler would you recommend? I am looking for the best ones out there, that also don't make that much noise. (money is not really a issue).

My Specs are:

MSI Z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard
Intel i5 4790k

There are multiple ways to go. You can do air, AiO water or custom water.

If you go air there are a few very good coolers such as the Noctua NH-D14 (great performance I just hate the color of the fans) or the be quiet! Dark Pro 2.

If you go with AiO water cooling I suggest either the H100i GTX or H110i GT.

Then you can go with a custom loop but those can be expensive and I wouldn't suggest it for a novice.

Of course you need to make sure whatever way you go that your case can fit the selected cooling setup.

As for thermal paste, most coolers come with it. You will need to clean the old stuff from the top of the CPU using ISO alcohol (the higher the % the better) and then apply the new thermal paste unless it comes pre applied like it does on most of the Corsair Hydro series.

An aftermarket cooler is nice. However, you probably do not need one. The stock thermal paste is crap and goes bad, you should be fine if you just replace it.

Eh, the Intel push pins can be tricky. Most aftermarket coolers come with a more straightforward mechanical design.

For your purposes I don't think you need a high end cooler like the D15 or 240mm water coolers.

Something in the $25-35 range is more then enough to outperform the stock cooler. Check out this list:

...Or you could just get a Hyper 212 EVO. It's one of the most recommended budget coolers for a reason.

Depends on the current price and the case in question. Evo is one of the taller coolers out there.
