which CPU cooler??

[ganudvd]

Gammax 400
Frostwin
Ice Edge 400XT
All are from deepcool

I will be cooling a i5 4440 (non k)
I don't plan to OC any thing which should I get ?

Price wise :
Frostwin>gammax>ice edge (not iceblade)

will ice edge be enough to cool i5 4440 ??
I will be gaming on I GPU
so I'm buying a cooler

Gammaxx 40 with a compact size has better air flow from both. Though fan speed is slow noise is high & power requirement is more than Iceedge. Would say nothing for the huge Frostwin but for high end Gammaxx 400. On the other extreme lies the Iceedge. Choice is yours depending on how much usage.
You must have gone through specs so layout your usage pattern then compare the specs. Keypoints are
Fan speed & airflow for cooling.
Power requirement & Dimensions for the rig.
Someone using Iceedge will tell you better to what extent is it worth the cpu. Generally OC is what tells us to reconsider the coolers. Can also look upon cool cabinet if not OC

But s40 looks like it has steel pipes and not the copper pipe

From what i found it's Cu for Gammaxx & Steel for Icedge. Well Cu is better conductor than alloy. Also can add another fan in gammaxx ; dunno whether it will help but Ice edge also wont be a bad choice. Actually the stock fans already comes tested for the cpu without oc. So minor improvement will be worth it & here's a good one
