Which cooler for ryzen

[gasolin]

My NH-D15S certainly came with an AM4 bracket. As to the pitch of the fan hum, it's very subjective. I can't really distinguish it from my Be Quiet Silent Wings 3 140mm case fans.

It says it is with am4 bracket, i just don't know why theres this diffrence in price, sounds stupid to me, cheapest is the D15s (with am4 bracket) D15 is more expensive, and the D15 SE-am4 is the most expensive of all 3 BUT the difference on the cheapest and modst expensive (single fan verison and the dual se am4) is less than the price of one 140mm redux fan

So fare i have narrowed it down to the Noctua NH-U14S or NH-D15S, the Scythe Fuma 2 or Ninja 5


The dual NH-D15 is having a little hum that the 1 fan version don't have

Noctua NH-U14S almost as good as the NH-D15S not even shure adding a second fan to the NH-U14S wold make it noticeable better than the NH-D15S (the same with a Noctua NH-U12S, i don't think adding 1 more fan would make it noticeable better than a Noctua NH-U14S)

Scythe ninja and fuma 2 as well as the Mugen 5 PCGH all cost less than 2 Noctua NF-A12x25 fans (good prices, i want more cooling power than a Mugen 5 pcgh)

NH-D15 is a frigging monster in every way, First of the cooling performance as been awesome never hit 80c(Cinebench) and gaming side remembering that i am only using a 390X max temps like 62c(spike).

Installing it could not be any easier, they done such good job with the design.

To think you could get faster 140mm fans on it would improve it even more. But as with the default fans it's pretty dam silent even maxed out, you would have to have super sensitive ears for them be a issue.

After 6 hours it was only around 55c ambient room temps was around 33-34c.

How ever it have it's problems, the NH-D15 will be really close to the back of the video card in most cases, i have a backplate on mine so that puts me at ease some but it's a tight fit. The NH-D15s has only one fan but it's angled away from the gpu giving much more space.

I was considering the Assassin III but when i was checking people were asking $150 for it which was $60 over what the D15 cost.

Scythe Fuma 2 or Noctau NH-D14S or Noctua NH-D15S ?

The Scythe Ninja 5 sole purpose is noise performance and you want noise and cooling performance so I would personally drop that cooler from your list. I have that scythe 800rpm PMW fan and its dead silent but it won't set any performance records.

The NH-15s is a very good good cooler but its main purpose is for people who can't fit the 165mm NH-15 in their case.

So I would say of your list the real choice is the Noctua NH-U14S vs Scythe Fuma 2. You can't go wrong with either one. The U14s is Noctua's best cooler for your dollar as long as you can fit the 165mm cooler in your case. Spending more money tends to get you diminishing returns for your dollar although the cooler is not very thick so adding a second fan won't do much. There are a lot of people who swear by the Scythe Fuma 2 is the best cooler for your dollar and many tests out there that show it.

be quiet! Dark Rock 4 ?

 

[AsRock]

Scythe Fuma 2 or Noctau NH-D14S or Noctua NH-D15S ?



Assassin III $117 in Denmark where i live

NH-D15S, over kill ), how ever Noctua like to release new brackets for there coolers as time goes by so it should last you a good long time.

But as dirtyferret says check the clearance.

The NH-15s is a very good good cooler but its main purpose is for people who can't fit the 165mm NH-15 in their case.

EDIT

be quiet! Dark Rock 4 ?

You could i know Noctua tend to release new brackets, lets say AM5 comes along i believe they will sell a bracket for it if possible. No idea id be Quiet will.

 

[gasolin]

I think 4.3 ghz and 1.200 volt is very good, i couldn't go higher than 4.1ghz with the first gen ryzen 3600 with almost 1.350 volt.

I want something tomorrow but my go to store didn't have any scythe in stock i could get tomorrow, the NH-U14S was about $25 more expensive than the 3 scythe mugen,ninja and fuma 2 and thought it where to expensive.

As pointed out the Scythe ninja 5 has 800 rpm fans and is more for slience than cooling which the Scythe fuma 2 don't have (800 rpm fan) it has the single mugen 5 rev b 1200rpm kaze flex fan and if they are to noisy i can just run than also at max 800 rpm like the ninja 5 and mugen 5 PCGH coolers.

I bought the Scythe Fuma 2 for $66 with shipping

 

[dirtyferret]

It's a bit like the Ninja where the focus seems to be on silence. The cooler has killer looks and rivals Noctua for build quality but you would think you would get better performance from such a large and pricey cooler.

Just one version of the Fuma 2 (assuming you did not get the original or rev.b) that was released about a year ago and the spec sheet states it does support AM4 as does the packaging on the front top left corner.

Noctua U12A is better than D15 and Dark Rock Pro.

The is that with the same fan speeds ?. As the U12 has 2kRPM fan with it. If i put 2kRPM fan on my D15 i bet it would cool even better.

Same goes to the Dark Rock too, fan speeds are a little faster.

 

[dgianstefani]

The NF-A12x25 fans in the U12A are next gen fans compared to the ones on the D15. They're quieter at the same RPM, and the same noise level at a higher RPM.

And alot more expensive

No it's not better

I actually been thinking about going back to air.

Currently I am using a Fractal Design Celsius 24 on my AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, because I think the CPU block/pump looks great and it's nice cable management it gives and if I want to go wc again I was thinking at one point to buy EK's Velocity because it looks to be a good block and really great design but going custom would be too expensive so I choose not to do it.

Maybe I should try to get a mount for my old faithful Thermalright Ultra120/True cooler to see how it would handle this chip with a couple of Noctua fans

 

[gasolin]

Forgot to mention althought i have the cheapest 240 mm aio from a know brand, theres light on the pump,cooler (i knew that)

why in the ..... did they deside to make it with there logo lid on the pump, it's surpose to be the chepast 240mm aio with no bling and than they spend money on something like that that won't cool better

Been very happy with my 3900X with the NH-d15, although you MIGHT want to go for the NH-D15s as it allows more space from cooler and GPU.

Room temp being around 30-33c this time of year and using Cinebench on a loop(6) manages to get the CPU 76c, this is all core at 4200.

Proberly get a better response making your own thread.

II am waiting for the time they put so many leds on them they heat them up some haha, already happened with SSD's ( kingston ? ).

Led on a ssd, f.....stupidest idea also led om the pump on the cheapst 240 mm aio, why spend time and money on that on the cheapest 240mm aio ?

Im going to toss my vote for Le Grand Macho RT. Best cooler I've owned. I sold my D14 many moons ago, don't miss it.

Thermalright's Le Grand Macho RT is massive in size, weighing in at 1060g with the fan. Capable of being used passively, it offers users a near-silent operation and top-tier performance when paired with the TY-147B fan. The competition should take note as Thermalright looks to steal the...

If you want to go with Noctua, go with one of the double fan designs, if you have enough clearance, With 2 coolers with the low noise adapters performance and noise are superb, and even if you don't use the second fan right away, you pay 10 euro more for a great quality 30 euro fan.

Btw, in Europe, there are deals to be had on Amazon for coolers which are reconditioned by Noctua. I paid 50 euro for a Noctua NH-U14S and 70 euro for the Noctua NH-D15.

 

[dgianstefani]

U12A has significantly better clearance than D15, which is one of the many reasons it's better.

Scythe Fuma 2 Review

The Scythe Fuma 2 is a compact dual-tower cooler that manages to deliver exceptional performance while also being nearly silent and fitting where other massive coolers cannot due to its 154.5 mm height. Truly like a ninja, the Fuma 2 is hiding in the shadows, poised to strike down its competition.

Most review's say it's good but some say it doesn't have top cooling performance, generally all agree it's at good and silent cpu cooler
