Cpu Cooler Help.

Hyper 212 Evo kicks ass. If you wont oc too high (probably wont because of the high vrm temps) you dont need more than the hyper 212. I have it on a stock fx-6100 and temps never go above 54 c

i wont overclock because this Machine is for other purposes ( Crunching )

 

[Toothless]

Those temps are perfectly fine.

I have a question for the AMD owners, there is this software called EPU-4 Engine, its worth have it installed and if yes how should i set it up, Auto-maximum energy savings-high performance?

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

I am using a hyper 212+ on my matx with a fx8350 and it works great. Don't underestimate the hyper 212+ it is a great cooler when you add the second fan. Also I do not run any extra software on my cruncher except for the necessities. I also use core temp for temp monitoring on the windows machines. I would use those copper heat sink thingies you posted the pic of and also run a small fan blowing on them.

Something better?

Scythe Ashura. Running a 8350 at 4.2.

 

[RealNeil]

Scythe Mugen Max (SCMGD-1000) is a good cooler.

I have two 140mm Noctua fans on it right now. It's on my wife's i7-2600K system.

The included fan is a 140mm Scythe SY1425HB12M-P and is pretty quiet. The Noctuas are better.

lol and you calling that good temp?
I have fx9370 and temp with zalman never goes up than 40C
browsing web site, watching movie, temp stay 20C
playing games like wot,hon, temp going 35-40

Someone doesn't know what Bionic is and how hard it pushes a CPU. But just so you know-

There is not much other programs that run a CPU harder than Bionic, but please, show me your 9370 running at absolute full load for days on end and staying around 40'c. Hell, I'd like to see a pic showing it at 20'c. 20'c is 68'f. Your CPU is not running at the same temperature as the ambient temperature of the room it is in, it is simply impossible with air or water cooling. Physis will not allow it. So how cold is your room for your CPU to run at 68' fahrenheit? 55' fahrenheit? I prefer not to wear coats in the house.

I've decided for the Cooler Master Hyper, which one?
Evo or Plus?

 

[rtwjunkie]

Evo is newer, and has slightly better cooling. However, I've got an overclocked QX9650 still in the house, and it has Sandy Bridge temperatures with using the Plus version. So both are fine, but I would advise for the Evo.

those are my Temp with the stock fan

You should look also into your MB package / CPU / VRM / Socket temperatures. My Mb. which is sort of comparable to yours, throttles due to VRM / socket temperature first and not CPU temperatures. If maximum load is only 48C you have nothing to worry about and don't need a new cooler especially if you wont overclock, because the stock fan also provides some airflow to the VRMs. And if those heatsinks are hard to find or expensive in germany (i know here they where like 20 euros) you can also look into small mosfet heatsinks from ebay for like 5-6 euros. I also took a RAM cooler and put that above the heatsink for some extra airflow. Finally even thou this link is in dutch you can find all the 3 coolers that you talked about tested (on intel platform but still comparable between eachother).

Price is affordable

True but for 15 euros extra you could have just gotten a better motherboard with vrm heatsinks and maybe even 8+2 instead of 4+1 phase For example your Asus is probably like 50-55 and you can get a gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P for like 70-75

 

[eidairaman1]

he wants to make due with what he has, switching out a mobo is pretty time consuming especially when drivers and OS have to be wiped completely out

I just wanted buy an Asus Motherboard and that was the only one that i found at the shop where I got it, my next build will be more accurate.

Stop.

The board OP has is just fine. They're not overclocking AT ALL. For what the rig is being used for, the current board is enough.

+1 that was my firs thought
(not Overclocking)
Motherboard is ok.
And as you said (Put a small 80mm fan there blowing on the VRM heatsinks) should be ok.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

Yes with no overclocking and what he is planning to do as far as cooling he will be totally fine.

Someone doesn't know what Bionic is and how hard it pushes a CPU. But just so you know-

So how cold is your room for your CPU to run at 68' fahrenheit? 55' fahrenheit? I prefer not to wear coats in the house.

Agreed 100%. These are mu load temps under water with a room that is sitting high 50's to low 60'sf ambient.

most forget here that not all are overclocking their rigs. I'm not above the Turbocore Freq of my CPU 4.2 so id say thats the true operating freq compared to the 4.0GHz specified. All cores run at 4.2GHz as i turned off most power features.

buying vrm sinks is cheaper than a new board, I have some for a DFI LP-B SktA mobo that i still need to put on

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

oh and before I have to go through the loops again with the "your temp progems is wrong or you not stressing hard enough"

And for shits and giggle my idle temps

So why are you posting your temps when your CPU TDP is 100w below the FX-9xxx that Barb and I were frowning upon? Yeah cool your CPU runs cool under liquid but it's not the 220w waste of electricity of a CPU.

Where did i suggest getting a new board? I said could have. I wanted to demonstrate that while 15 euros may not be much, given the base price of the board is it worth to invest in it? Because given his post with the CPUs temp it may not be needed. Plus he got the board only 2 days ago so he could substitute it. Finally given that its the same chipset there would be no need to re install drivers (maybe audio / lan) but no need for clean install. Again I am not saying he should do this but the possibility is there.

oh and before I have to go through the loops again with the "your temp progems is wrong or you not stressing hard enough"

Yes because a 8+2 phase motherboard with a 8 core CPU cooled with H100i is totally comparable to his situation

Edit: and so this post is not totally useless to OP. Look into ram coolers. Something like this

Spoiler

I found a cheap ram cooler locally (like 4 euros on sale) and it a perfect fit for the vrms and made a noticeable change for the vrm temp under load

This thread went to hell. Not even bothering to keep in this one when now it's "stick as many fans as you can" for no reason.

 

[BarbaricSoul]

Maybe I missed Mad Shot's reason for posting, but I took his post as backing my post in that he was showing a AMD CPU with a lower TDP in a room that is about 20' f below a normal room temp barely doing what 9370 CPU guy claims his 220 watt TDP CPU does in I assume a normal temperature room.

Correct me if I'm wrong @ThE_MaD_ShOt

Or alternatively learn how to read since this is the 2nd post to which your reply doesn't make any sense. I gave him an alternative to "stick a 80 [mm] fan on top" since the ram coolers normally come with legs and enclosure so you dont have to worry about clearance and be extra creative with the mounting
