I'm currently running a 5600x with a CM Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition I had from before, and I'm getting idle/load temps at 30-45 and 60-70 under load respectively. This is pretty good compared to my old Intel 7700k with the same cooler, that was going up to 85c+, but I'm wondering if a Dark Rock 4 would be a noticeable improvement in temps and noise levels. Ideally, I'm trying to find a decent cooler now that will last me years after upgrading in a year or 2 when to a 5800 or a 5900x.
I can't find any direct comparisons between these except this video, where they are remarkably close, with DR4 being slightly quieter and that's about it. However, on every online post I've seen, people claim that DR4 is much better. There are some comparisons with the old Evo 212, but from what I gather the Hyper 212 was a big improvement over that one?
So the two-fold question is, wit DR4 be a solid improvement now for the 5600x with better OC potential, and will it be good for a later upgrade to 5800/900x. I can get one for 60 euros now and can resell my for about 40 maybe, so not much of a difference. I was also looking at the Dark Rock Pro 4 but it's 80e and again not sure how big of a leap that is from the regular DR4
