[SOLVED] is Redragon CC-2000 compatible with b560m arous pro and i5 11400

[Abdullah127]

would redragon cc-2000 effect air work with i5 11400 and b560m arous pro?

 

[Aeacus]

Yes.

According to the CPU cooler specs,
link: https://www.redragonzone.com/products/redragon-cc-2000-effect-air-cpu-cooler

It is compatible with AMD AM4 and Intel LGA 115X sockets. However, your MoBo has LGA 1200 socket, but this doesn't matter. Because according to Noctua, CPU coolers that fit LGA 115X socket, will be compatible with LGA 1200 socket as well.

All Intel motherboards starting with lga1156 (first gen core-i) upto and including lga1200 (11th Gen core-i) use the same mounting hole spaces and Z-height sockets, so any Intel mounting system not specifically 12th Gen lga1700 will work.

So yes, your 11th Gen cpu is compatible, but that cooler is basically a CM Hyper212 knock-off budget cpu cooler, so don't expect miricles with temperatures. If you stress test the 11400, it will get very warm.

appreciate the answer thanks ! ..im getting out of budget due to increasing prices here , do you suggest something else ?

i5-11400 comes with included Intel cooler, so why even buy aftermarket one if you're short on cash?

Now, included Intel cooler isn't much, but it's better than nothing, especially when you can't afford better cooler (which you don't, as you're saying).

If you'd have money to spend on aftermarket cooler, Arctic Freezer 34 Esports Duo is great, mid-tier option. Affordable too, at $40 and has color options,

Note: eSports Duo is 157mm tall and make sure your PC case has enough clearance.

temperature reaches 90 + while gaming using stock cooler that's why i thought of buying other cooler, i guess i need to return it back then lol ..ty i will have a look on it ..

emperature reaches 90 + while gaming using stock cooler

Well, from review:

The Core i5-11400 comes with a stock cooler, but as with all Intel coolers, it's a flimsy affair that most enthusiasts should plan on replacing. As we'll outline below, the cooler is adequate if you run the chip strictly within Intel's recommended power guidelines, but the chip runs faster with a more capable cooler. You also shouldn't plan on removing power limits if you're using the stock cooler.

And what is the cooling setup within your PC case? Since using way restrictive PC case, with poor (if any) fans, will increase the temps for all components. So, what make and model is your PC case? How many case fans you have (including make and model) and what is the fans placement and orientation?

i would definitely check the power limit thing , i have cooler master cmp 500 and three fans ,two on front that takes air in , one on the back that push the air out , if buying more fans might solve the issue i think that would be cost effective sollution

 

[Aeacus]

cooler master cmp 500

That's one very restrictive front panel you have on there. Only high static pressure fans would be enough to pull "some" air through the tiny gaps. E.g Noctua NF-A14 industrial 140mm, 3000 RPM, PWM fans, with amazing 6.58 mmH2O static pressure and equally good airflow of 158.5 CFM,
specs: https://noctua.at/en/nf-a14-industrialppc-24v-3000-q100-ip67-pwm/specification

These two 140mm would go as front intake. <- You should be seeing the diff with these two, but you can always go additional fans, 2x 120mm at the top and 1x 120mm as rear, all three as exhausts. Now, the top and rear fan paths aren't that restrictive but i'd also look towards Noctua with these, e.g NF-F12 industrial 120mm, 3000 RPM, PWM fans,
specs: https://noctua.at/en/nf-f12-industrialppc-3000-pwm

These 120mm Noctua fans also have amazing static pressure of 7.63 mmH2O and 109.8 CFM airflow.

Since you have such a restrictive PC case, you need to go higher with fan performance, hence why i'm suggesting Noctua industrial fans for you. Now, if you'd have better airflow PC case (e.g Corsair 760T V2 Black, where my Skylake build sits in, full specs with pics in my sig), with meshed front grille, you wouldn't need to go that "high" with fans, and lesser performing fans would do too.
E.g i have 7 case fans, which are:

• 3x 140mm fans with 3.0 mmH2O and, 97 CFM (Corsair ML Pro LED) two as front intake, one as rear exhaust
• 3x 140mm fans with 1.52 mmH2O and 91.19 CFM (NZXT AER140) three as top exhaust
• 1x 120mm fan with 4.2 mmH2O and 75 CFM (Corsair ML Pro LED) one as bottom intake

My fans, compared to the Noctua i linked above, are far weaker. But then again, i don't need mythical performance fans in my PC case since it's built well with great airflow paths.

--

Now, if you want to get by the cheapest, 40 bucks eSports DUO would be cheapest option, since good performance fans will cost quite a bit. 30 bucks per one Noctua 140mm fan and 28 bucks per one Noctua 120mm fan,
pcpp: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/ntXfrH,Mb4gXL/

If the eSports DUO isn't enough to cool your CPU, since you have such restricted airflow, i suggest looking towards new PC case, with meshed front grille. Or pay either 60 bucks for 2x 140mm Noctua fans, or total of 150 bucks for all 5 Noctua fans, to make proper ariflow inside your PC case.

really appreciate the help , i have been upgrading item by item since a while so maybe the next step is getting a new case , i think i would wait more and either go with the 2 fans or the suggested cooler or something similar as its more economically feasible for me , as the problem isn't with just the 40$ , when pieces are shipped they add customs and shipping fees so it cost more than the double , thanks so much i will return the cooler i got now and save money for something better

Can you put the fans on the inside of the frame instead of the outside, under the front cover? That'll help considerably since having more airspace in front of those fans will increase the vacuum affect, and pull more air.

sorry i don't get it , you mean moving the fans that are in the front to the base" bottom" ?

As far as i can tell, these front fans are installed in the inside of PC case's metal frame, rather than outside, just behind front cover.

Seen here, non-English (German?) unboxing, at 6:47:

If OP would have Cooler Master HAF 500 (or similar), where front fans are installed outside of the metal frame of PC case, then yes, moving fans into inside would help.

I explained it better above. And since you already have fans on the inside, Karadjgne suggestion doesn't apply to you.

 

[Abdullah127]

yes they are on the inside of the frame... thanks so much for explaining
