intel core i7 5820k cooling?

[vandalblue]

Heya!... Guys, im worried about to cool an intel core i7 5820k, i wont overclock it, and for looks, an seidon 120xl can handle that 140w tdp?

If we are talking about no overclocking, then that cooler is an overkill, so yeah it will work.

 

[Alan Caldwell]

If no OCing, an air cooler will suffice.

But why would you buy that CPU and NOT overclock it....? There will be plenty of extra power you can gain before you're really pushing it to the max....

 

[DonkeyOatie]

What are you using the system for?

Most people are getting 6 core CPU because of it's improved throughput of CPU intensive work like rendering. A moderate overclock, to 4.0Ghz or so, will reduce processing time further and by a meaningful amount. If the system is being used for gaming too, then the extra speed is helpful, although of more limited value. If the system is being used to generate revenue, then overclocking is practically mandatory. More throughput = more money!

'Big air' can cool that CPU, even overclocked. If you want to go with a liquid cooler, then go big. I would not use less than a 240mm radiator. You can run the fans slower and quieter.

 

[snowctrl]

Do be aware of noise if you intend to overclock though... those big radiators fans are not quiet when an overclocked CPU is running 100% during rendering....

Im not overclocking cuz the i7 5820k is powerfull enough to handle any game/program at stock frequency, and dont like air cooler (hyper 212 evo, etc) looks ugly, thats because i want that seidon 120xl, cooling ans looks, sooooo.... That cooler can handle this cpu at 100% load?

 

[Alan Caldwell]

It can, better get an i7 6700k, it is a bit more faster than the i7 5820k if you are gonna buy it.

 

[vandalblue]

Im waiting broadwell E 6850k... But thanks

 

[vandalblue]

And uh... Cant fit 240mm rad in a cooler master cosmos se - x99 mobo... Cuz the northbridge (chipset)

@ 1.278v I get around 75-81c under full load (running aida and cinebench together) with an H100i with SP120 Quiet Edition fans.

Getting 55-60c in games that I play. Highest I ever saw while rendering was 68c, but I'm obviously not always monitoring temperatures. Very large file compression tasks push the temperature a bit too

Qute from a review on an LGA 2011v3 system.



With a 200W heat load applied by the Intel LGA2011/1366 version of FrostyTech's synthetic thermal test platform, the Coolermaster Seidon 120V self-contained liquid cooling heatsink yielded a very good temperature test result of 17.5°C over ambient at stock fan speed.

Reducing the speed of the Seidon 120V's single 120mm PWM fan from 2400RPM to a quieter 600RPM caused a large increase in test temperatures, to 35.1°C over ambient to be specific.

It was noisy at 53dBA at full speed, and quiet at 32dBA at low speed.

A 240mm Radiator will fit in that case, even with the motherboard you have, if the fans are mounted as CoolerMaster recommends.

I would want a more powerful cooler/quieter than the 120V for that CPU. How about the Nepton 140 if you want a smaller radiator?

I'm sorry but the 6700k is not faster than a 5820k, where do you get your info from? You have a core 2 duo xD

It has better single thread performance, newer manufacturing process, lower TDP, etc.

Since I have an Intel Core 2 Duo, it doesn't make me illiterate 😛

 

[Arronleeds]

Op never said what he was using it for? Plus the 6700k gives about 1-3fps more than a 5820k in gaming but gets laughed at when it comes to which wins at rendering etc.

 

[DonkeyOatie]

The stock 4.0Ghz of the 6700K is significantly faster than the stock 3.3Ghz of the 5820K. Even at the same clock speed, the generational difference gives the 6700K an up to 5% core for core advantage. The 5820K may have higher throughput, but it is not faster.

So the question instead is where do you get YOUR information from?? (and yes, the CPU on this system is a Xeon 1231v3, got a problem with that? )

The Seidon will be fine, if the fan seems to loud can always change it out 😉 Have a Seidon on my 8370 and it's fine, have also had it on both my 4770Ks and my 6600K

 

[vandalblue]

Pfff... 5? 6%? Thats a shame, selling this processor and buy an 6700k dont make any sense, i'll wait for the 6850k.

 

[Arronleeds]

Donkey you clearly have no clue about PCs or the difference between a 5820k and a 6700k, clock speeds don't mean anything you tool, you show me one benchmark where the 6700k beats a 5820k in rendering.

Saying clock speeds make a massive difference is like saying a 4690k at 4.6 is the same as 4790k at 4.6

Watch Linustechtips video here

The only reason go get a 6700k is for single core performance tasks, that's basically it, if you want to stream, render, encode and everything else the 5820k is such a better option and anyone with common sense would agree, the 6700k is 5% faster than a 4790k, which was a pointless upgrade by Intel.

 

[vandalblue]

Still move from 5820k to 6700k is something a downgrade

 

[Alan Caldwell]

I never told you to change, I said if you are GOING to buy, get the i7 6700k.

 

[vandalblue]

Oh yup yup, but i would go for 6850k Broadwell-E instead of 6700k skylake, and use my mobo x99 for it ;3

 

[vandalblue]

Oh and i got the cooler master seidon 120xl and max temps under prime 95 hits 43°c (full load) and have some space for overclocking ;3 good performance and not much noise.

Glad all is well 😉
