Help!!! Suggest me Cpu cooler for Core i7 2600K?

Hi, folks

I am spending extra 3.5k to buy Intel Core i7 2600k for future needs as suggested by many forum friends.But Cm hyper 212+ is not good enough to cool this powerful monster processor when HT is on.
So suggest me a Cpu cooler within Rs 3.8K.I am having MSI Z68A-GD80(B3) motherboard and GSkill Ripjaws X rams.

So suggest me fast
:))

Note:- Suggest me only air cooler

D

Tenida Then Spend 1 K More & Get Noctua NH-D14 or be better with i5 2500k.

No man i can't spend extra 1k for cooler as my budget has overshoot-ed.

D

Have A Look at this
Buy CPU COOLER WITH 120MM BLUE LED FAN in Mumbai India

Also This
Buy CPU COOLER WITH 135MM BLUE LED PWM FAN in Mumbai India

it depends on the level of overclock you want to have......tell me that then i can suggest something......
take the cooler tkin bought.......

I want to overclock at 4.6-4.8 Ghz mark not now but in future when needed.That cooler is not available anywhere tkin and mukherjee was the last buyer of that cooler.

from what i have seen 4.8 can be achieved with an hper212 modded with 2000RPm fans....
hyper 212 is available in kol i think...try palash from MD...
i have been running 4.8 for many days with mine...and it was stable....

Hyper 212+ is not available in MD computers.Core i7 2600K is more heated with Ht on than 2500k.So suggest me better than Hyper 212+ cooler.

D

Tenida what about the zalman ones?

I am reading the review of Zalman CNPS 10X Extreme...........

Thanks for your help

Noctua U12 is the king of the ring.

What about true black or tuniq?

Yes the 2600K heats up a lot.. So i think you should save up and get a better coolers like venomous X or D14...

Tenida said:

Better than hyper 212+ but are annoyingly loud...

Tuniq, True Black are good. Also look for Corsair A70. Legit Reviews had reviewed it earlier.

Tenida said:

Ask Rahul fro ITWarez when he will get his next batch.

Yep same suggestion from my side too...

Noctua U12 or TRUE 120 with scythe kage has my votes.

Slightly OT. Does anyone know where Scythe fans are available in India. I want the Gentle Typhoons 5400 RPM. Please do not recommend Lynx though.

try PRIME....or if you want i can look up a few friends

^^ Primeagb deals with Sycthe Fans [Kama is stock], So probably they can arrange. If not ask itwares to get it.

Prime does not have Typhoons as of now.

asingh said:

I mailed Rahul earlier he just saying its out of stock nothing more than that.

Coolermaster V6Gt performs good but they are loud too..

In my testing, the V6GT was ran about a week on my everyday machine cooling a Core i5 750 running 2.8 GHz. Typical tasks consist of Photoshop, browsing the net with FireFox, e-Mail and occasionally some YouTube videos. Nothing too CPU intensive, yet the noise level of the fans was quite noticeable. Even with PWM Control and Cooler Master's DynaLoop bearing design fans noise levels were a bit higher than expected. If you have a good solid case with sound dampening material inside you probably won't notice it much but for die hard silence seekers this cooler may not be a good choice.

^^I am ok with loudness :))

Then should i go for it ??

I think this should suffice.

Ask MD, they might have it in stock. Price should be around 3.8k.

So its Corsair A70 vs Coolermaster V6GT ..........

I am not ok with prime as you have to deposit money in their bank a/c.They should have option to pay by debit cards.

Tenida said:

Yes u can...

Thanks

@Skud- should i go with A70 or V6GT?

True 120 black is super but i don't want to buy online.

If noise is not a problem for you, V6GT - otherwise, A70. One thing, I have heard installing V6GT is a PITA. So, consider that also while purchasing.

Tenida said:

Dude, even though these products are having warranty.

What can be wrong with the product & what kind of warranty you do expect from such mechanical components ?? So whats the point of not buying it online ???

I am not worrying about warranty dude actually my parent don't allow me to buy online.Now you could understand.But i am ok with ebay they are very secure.

You can have my words, Prime is much reliable than ebay.....

Corsair A70 not available in Kolkata

@Tenida

Overclocking is no Hurry.. Wait for Good Products if stock is not there at present.

In Real Time major applications.. you find Nothing boost between OC'ed and No OC system. Even in Gaming also..hardly 1 or 2 FPS if it is GPU bound Games.. If it's SLI or Fire setup you may get reasonable Boost in higher Resolutions... OC is Exclusively for Benchmarks not much for Real-World Applications apart from Encoding Jobs..

In my opinion...A70 or V6GT both are not worth at present.. Wait till Oct'ber, Seems to be New coolers are being launched..
Noctua is good But they really have bad clearance issues with certain models.. still they perform Top Notch..
That's my opinion...

Just get Hyper 212+ and add another xtraflo and rock on, my friend has the same setup, idle is around 40s and load is around 65-68c, a tad higher than Noctua U12P. Only issue is applying Thermal Paste.

Else get D14 for 4.8k.

Also Cooler Master V6GT is there @ 4k, not as good as noctua coolers but good none the less.

I am not suggesting Thermalright coolers cause with price of the fans they come to 4.8k(3.8k cooler only) and at that range they are mauled by NH D14.

He is getting Gskill sniper, ALL coolers will fit. Plus he has CM690II.

@Tkin-I am nt getting not sniper its Ripjaws X

You can get A70 from ebay. Price is 3599+30.

^^Link please :))

Great price though

A70 is a HDT cooler, you will go bankrupt buying Thermal Paste, the hyper 212+ needs half tube of TX4 to seat, think about how much the A70 will need, better get a normal cooler with plate.

^^thanks Tkin for your suggestion.I am bending towards CM V6GT

Tenida said:

Good, nice cooler.

@S_V-I can't wait for October and also 2600K can't be run on stock cooler either.In Calcutta's temperature its heated like hell.

Yeah saw but its HDT based cooler its require lots of thermal pastes as said by Tkin so i am going with Coolermaster V6GT.

The guy I sold my TX4 to had a 212+, he confirmed, half tube went in to seat is properly, so 250/- each time. For normal cooler you can get 4 uses out of it(drop method), so that's 125/-.

@Suman- Are you running Corsair Ax1200 with i5 2500k,Z68 motherboard,6Gb ram and 6870 Gfx card? :?:

Tenida said:
@Suman- Are you running Corsair Ax1200 with i5 2500k,Z68 motherboard,6Gb ram and 6870 Gfx card?

Yes, the gfx card is probably a 5450, he might have the 6870 on another rig.

sumonpathak said:

At stock, that is 3.4GHz, reseated a dozen times using good tims, all same @ 67-70c in BIOS, with IBT it goes to 73c around, stock cooler sucks like hell.

If you are going to go to subzero, please invite me, I'd like to see it first hand.

PS: During the mumbai meet TE guys got their 980x to 5.9Ghz using an AX750(with an oc'ed 4870 gpu with it), and some guys from EV got their cpu to pretty high clocks with a TX650(with a 4850).

How are you planning to get the pot? Gonna import it?

Get a 212+ for now...then save money and go for liquid cooling...not presealed Corsair ones, but custom made...just my 2cents

As I had told you, avoid HDT and get either N620 from ebay, or V6GT from MD, they have ready stock of V6GT.

As you told it earlier i am not going for HDT based cooler.Probably V6GT for me.

Tenida said:

I am just telling sammy that A70 is better than Hyper +

Tenida said:

Definitely, but unless you have access to lots of tim, I suggest to stay off it, the additional expense for tim really bites, specially since good tims are so rare in india.

@ tenida

Consider me a noob in cpu overclocking because i don't have any practical experience. My current board is a vanilla one so overclocking isn't possible on it.

Refer this guide by tkin & mukherjee. You will definitely benefit from it. :smile:

Thanks vicky for your help :))

tkin said:

I have no idea about this, but how many times you really need to apply the TIM? And why?

Skud said:

With so much dust in india, you need to clean the cabby and the cooler once every 3-4 months. Else it will clog up.

OK, got it. Will keep a check.

I'd say go for the Black version, looks cooler. Get Venemous X or the Noctua one as suggested by others. If these are not available then TRUE Black is good too but you have to buy socket 1156 brackets (compatible with 1155 socket too) separately. That will set you back by 300-400 bucks.

Get Scythe Kaze ultra fan in case you get Venemous X, but you will need a controller to tone down the RPM. Otherwise look for a fan with good static pressure because that's what is more important for CPU heatsink heat dissipation.

If you are planning to get Venomous X then pair it with CM R4's won't go wrong with those fans.

I have used these pairs & completely satisfied with them....

Thermalright Venomous X - 3.7k @theitwares

CM R4 pair - INR 800 [400 each]

Way over OP's budget.

So 3.7+0.8=4.5k, at that range noctua D14 will eat it alive.

@tenida/amartya

Its difficult to beat the D14 at its price...also U12P was the sweet spot..too bad tkin gobbled it up

With a 2600K and a HDT cooler like the 212+...its a bit edgy...the V6GT should do the job imho..but it'll be a little louder and hotter than the U12P...(V6GT uses 2xExtraflo type fans @2000rpm to get the performance,while the U12P manages it with 2xP12 fans @1300rpm :shock:

)

Take ur pick...If u want something right now and locally...get the V6GT...or else,D14 all the way

Yeah Noctua D14 is great HSF but i don't wanna spend over Rs.4k mark :twisted:

But its worth spending on D14..

Thermaltake Frio looks good cooler.Also its comes with 2x 2500 Rpm fan.Yes speed can be adjusted.Is this available in kolkata?

The Thermaltake FRIO is a cooler that delivers excellent cooling when compared to some of the current high-end cooling solutions on the market. Able to handle a 220 watt thermal load, it delivered temperatures that were right in the same ballpark as the vaunted Thermalright TRUE and Noctua NH-U12P at 54 degrees Celsius under load. Playing in the same field as these coolers is a step up the performance ladder for Thermaltake. When the CPU was overclocked, the FRIO delivers the same comparable performance as the TRUE and NH-U12P SE 1366. A pretty impressive performance when you get down to it. When compared to the Noctua, it is a physically smaller design with a more dense fin array and one more heatpipe, while being comparable in size to the TRUE that carries six heatpipes instead of the five on the FRIO. The five 8mm heatpipes do help carry the 'up to 220 watt' load to the fin array.

Please no one get the NHD14 unless you are on a full tower chassis.

Thanks for your suggestion.I using Mid-tower CM 690II Plus.So selecting D14v is no brain er

D14 almost touches the side panel of CM 690 II. Have seen a pic earlier. There is a hairline gap. So...

@Asingh can u confirm it with ur 690? Coz here, D14 sits inside Gamma...

The top of the cooler is like 1/4 inch away from the plexi glass.

Just send a mail to Tirupati.Lets see if its available or not.

^^ if it's available at ~3.5k then this is one of the best cpu cooler one can get though it's bit noisy at higher speed but with it's greeat cooling performance this can be tolerated ;-)

What they are saying?

the main man(abhisek) is asleep...so i told a few dealers[not MD] to ask for it...
EDIT: had a talk with him ETA mid august

That abhishek is B***ch

lol...why so?

He is very arrogant type of guy.

@All me bought CM V6GT but should i use the stock thermal paste given with the Cooler?or some other paste like Thermalfusion?Tell me guys

For now use the stock thermal paste..

If u are not happy with the results, u can get a new one....

But obviously a good TIM like TX-4 will make a notable drop in temp.

Thanks buddy

Wat about thermalfusion?

Tenida said:
Thanks buddy

Thermal fusion 400 was good IMO... If u cant find TX-4, get it...

@Tenida
Congrats man... That's one heck of a beauty... Please post the results whenever you can...

Yep, I'm also interested about the results and if you have not already installed V6GT take note of the idle and load cpu temp using the stock HSF and after installing V6GT take note of the idle and load cpu temp again as the ambient temp is similar in past 2-3 days it will give us some clear idea about how well V6GT performs ;-)

BTW, eager to some pics of V6GT installed over core i7 2600k ;-)

Results are nice. Planning to OC the CPU?

Not now maybe in near future for benkmark.BTW. stock thermal is super.one drop is enough to spread whole processor surface.

Even the one bundled with the N620 is also very good.

I think the stock paste is ThermalFusion from coolermaster

Who cares? As long as the temps are fine...

Not now maybe in near future for benkmark.BTW. stock thermal is super.one drop is enough to spread whole processor surface.

Then why you got such a huge HSF, if you will not OC the pants off that chipset.

I am not telling i will not OC my processor.I will.But now doesn't require it..2600k @ stock is so powerful.
And about the cooler its huge but its also a good performer.

^^ Nice pics on post No. 117 ;-)

- what cabby is that ?

The temps are fine also - how much temp diif is there compared to stock HSF and V6GT ?

well, to see whether its a good performer or not you'll need to OC the processor. when are you planning to start OCing anyways?

~~I need a small favour. Can you post a pic of the cooler? Want to see how it looks in your cabinet.~~

^^ take a look at the previous page ( hint : post No. 117 ) ;-)

^ yup, just seen.

^^Read in review its equal to Venomous X but to confirm i will test it.

^^ with only ~300 Mhz clock speed bump the temp has increased by ~5-6c - wondering what the temp will be at ~4.8 Ghz.
