Looking for budget cooler for my CPU
one site says Deep Cool AK620 is not good enough
yet another one says Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition RGB is just fine

How can the second one be just fine if its so much weaker than the Deep cool one?
I would really need help in this one. Which one to get?
Gamers Nexus evo 212 is too weak even for much weaker CPUs

Mobos have different settings...
Some apply an extreme overclock, unlimited power limits and multi core enhancements and everything else you can imagine all enabled and turned to the max, in that case you need a really really overpowered cooler to get anything below 100 degrees.

If you know enough to change a few settings in the bios than even a cheap cooler will get you good performance...just not exactly the performance you see in reviews that use that sort of mobo but still very close.

Nvme cooler as cpu cooler while gaming.
