Wanted to lower my temps

[Derstine Buyagan]

I do have a Ryzen 7 2700 CPU which is currently @3.8Ghz at 1.275 volts.
My problem is not related to the overclocking since my overclock is fairly stable and the temps are running exactly the same compared when running at stock as the Vcore when running at stock is about 1.34 I guess and lowering it down to 1.275 helped me a lot.
My problem is about the room temps during the day as it is super hot.

My idle temp during the night is about 35C but when the day it increases right up to 48c which is a huge jump. Opening just one instance of Visual Studio which does have Resharper installed doing some analysis in the background adds other degrees of temp in the cpu and it now goes to 55c, adding another instance of Visual Studio together with SQL Server Management studio increase the temp further. All in all, am hitting more than 60C constantly during the day.

My case is deepcool tesseract which has the follwing fans
1 120mm front (intake)
2 120 mm side panel (intake)
2 120 mm top exhaust
1 120 mm rear fan exhaust

To lessen down the temp during the day, i open the side panel and did get an electric fan to help cool down my system a bit. It dropped a couple of temp though.
Right now, i am thinking of getting a Hyper 212 but i don't know how much temp i will be getting. Do you think the Hyper 212 evo can lessen my temps atleast 5c? I would be happy if it will.

You can add an aftermarket cooling solution, heck even go for a custom watercooling loop but the base fact remains to be that your ambient room temps are high. Which in retrospect will only ding your temps a little with a larger aftermarket cooler. I'd suggest an Air Conditioner.

Speaking of air conditioner, where are you located?

I am located here in South East Asia, Philippines to be exact.
I would love to have an air con but our house is not built for that. What i mean by that is it isn't a concrete like having a cemented wall or something similar. I am like less than 2 meters reaching the roof lol..

Right now, having 5 tabs of Chrome open, im sitting at 38C which just fine.

I am also considering to move my CPU under the table but it will be more prone to dust for sure.

Doesn't the 2700 come with the wraith cooler? I feel like you'll need to go a little farther to get better temps than the hyper 212. The wraith is a very respectable cooler. You have a couple options. Your case is well suited to getting a large AIO cooler like the corsair H100-115i. I don't think you'd see much benefit from one of the smaller models. I own an early H80i and am generally wasn't very impressed with the performance. It's better than the stock cooler I was using but for the price I paid feel like I should have gotten better performance. A large AIO should keep your temps much closer to ambient.

Your other option is a large tower cooler like the noctua nh-D14 or nh-D15. Given your high ambient temps you are going to need to invest in a large cooler, that's just thermodynamics.

Or if building PCs is a hobby that you enjoy, and you enjoy tinkering then you should look into a custom liquid cooling loop. This is by far the most expensive option. To build out a full system you are probably looking at about 4-600USD. (your price may vary)

Or an AC unit to address the ambient temps.

Yes, it did come with a wraith spire cooler. I can't say anything bad about his small cooler. I even overclocked my CPU from 3.2GHz to 3.8Ghz, I can even go to 3.9Ghz if I want to push it a bit harder. The problem right now is my ambient temps, I am not looking for super low temps. Seeing my temps around 50-55C under load running visual studio during the day will be awesome. I can't stand looking at my temps above 60C while doing my job during the day. It just hurts my feelings 😀

Oh, yeah I will surely look on those cooler you mention. Do you have another cooler that can you recommend just in case those aren't available?

Honestly I haven't trained up on current air coolers since I've switched to a custom loop on my main system. Noctuas are often cited as being the best of the best and the hyper 212 is often cited as the best value.

In general you'll need something with lots of surface area. IE Big. There are two factors to keeping hot components cool, 1) is the temperature differential(the difference in temperature between the CPU and the ambient air), 2) is the surface area. Since you can't improve much on your temperature differential you need to compensate with surface area.

As always if you find something that might work, you can come back here and see what thoughts we have one things.

Thanks.
I will report back here once i get one.

Update:
I bought an NH D15 SE and now my temps don't even hit 60 degrees Celsius with Prime95 running, single fan only as I really can't install the second fan that comes with it. The fan does block the ram slot, not the heatsink itself. I also need to remove one of the side panel fans.

Worth every penny.
