Get a real heatsink

>>51875536
For normal use with a lower tdp processor they are "ok".

I personally prefer when the cpu runs cooler.

The other downside of those coolers are that they are louder and have those fucking push pins clips.
>>
>>51875934
>poo
>>
It does the job.

It is loud however and you may like your processor a bit cooler but if you use something like a 4460 and don't mind that detail it's sufficient.

Still a better cooler doesn't cost much either so when you have some spare change you could, you know, change that.
>>
>>51875536
this is what i would use to make sure the cpu and computer work, usually just motherboard, ram and disc drive for a knoppix boot, once it boots, ill install the rest... no point in going further if something is broken.

that said, im on stock phenom II 955 heat sync... to be fair that was a pretty damn good heatsync but you could easily do better with sub 50$... that said i would still go with a 100~$ air cooler, may as well get the best of the best...

i also dont trust water coolers at all.

This...The same applies to AMD. Anyone who says the paste that comes with it is fine is wrong. Having the paste smothered all over the heat sink creates heaps of air bubbles. My CPU ran 10 degrees Celsius cooler when I reapplied it properly with a decent compound.

The older ones and thick ones went up to 6000rpm, and those were loud.

The new thin ones can't even break 2500rpm running full tilt are are pretty quiet, TDP and heat output has come down a long ways.

Heck the old thick P4 heatsink with the copper slugs is enough to overclock a haswell or skylake with a cheap $3 push pin to backplate+screw conversion kit.

The pins must be put on, and especially taken off, in an extremely specific way. You only have one chance to learn and the pins are extremely delicate and can easily break. If you actually read the manual they don't even mention the right way to do it. Nowadays even prebuilts come with a gap in the back where the CPU is exactly for this reason which was the only point of having expanding push pins - to save you the time of taking the whole motherboard off - which makes this thing obsolete.

They're designed to be functional and to keep your CPU within specification temps when running at fully stock settings.

If you're an enthusiast at all then they should only be temporary, like you have everything in your build except a proper CPU cooler. It's fine to use for a month or two while you save up for a good cooler. Otherwise, the noise will drive you insane.

If you're not going to overclock just keep the stock cooler. Unless you're on AMD, then you're fucked. Their stock fans are noisy as heck.

Good company? This has to be bait. They made their money selling knockoff Intel designs from the beginning. They are so incompetent they have to outsource any new CPU design, and then when they have something remotely competitive, management and marketing collaborate to kill the project. The whole company is a joke, and was only "good" when Intel got complacent and tripped up. Intel is a god tier company from the start. CRUSH the "competition".

I actually destroyed one of those fans while using it as a way to cool my mobo vrms - the mounting I had rigged up came loose, the fan dropped (while spinning at over 2000rpm iirc) and shattered half of its blades against the vrm heatsink. That was an educational sound to hear (followed by panic as I shut everything down and pulled pc apart to find the shards).
>>
>>51878009
You're speaking from a business POV. To consumers, Intel is a shitty company. They intentionally gimp their CPUs and sell microcode "upgrade cards" to make more money. Skylake was supposed to be part of the "tock" cycle, but only gave a small percent increase in performance. Again, to scrape money out of consumers.

It's only like this because AMD isn't laying on any pressure. The 8350 is considered old tech now, it's 32nm and can serve as a space heater. And of course, the 9xxx CPUs are a joke that even the hardest AMD fan can't defend. If AMD released Zen six months ago and made it competitive against Skylake, you can bet your ass that Intel would be introducing a new wave of drastically higher performing Skylake CPUs.

it's this kind of bullshit that makes me seriously question modern capitalism sometimes. Not pure unfettered capitalism, mind you, but capitalism as it is envisioned these days by most governments and people.

It's quite obvious that if you took Intel to court as an effective monopoly (which they are) and split them into two competing companies with new management on both sides, you'd immediately see big gains in the CPU arena. Huge, even, as they'd have each other's tech and would be forced to innovate in order to differentiate and avoid a fight to the bottom.

I pretty much blame patent law for the way Intel behaves right now. There will always be a DEMAND for CPUs; someone will make them whether their rights are respected or not, because there's money to be made. But only because of patent law can Intel (or any other company that's made it to the top on its patents) sit around and get money for nothing.

For god sakes IBT or p95 should not be used on a haswell or later series CPU, even a Hyper 212x turbo will hit 80C and thermal throttle like shit.

Pretty sure most of the FX 8XXX series use this heatpiped AVC cooler, pictured is the 8150 and the sempron 145 stock cooler

The sempron 145 cooler pictured here is the Z7LH01R201 which is the exact same part on the A6-5400K and the A4 series APUs which is the coolermaster, however this particular cooler is sometimes found on the FX-6000 series, not a very good cooler IMO as I have one cooling an x2 250 right now.

I also have the AVC cooler from a FX-8320E and the CMDK8-4I52D made by CoolerMaster.

I also have an unmarked 2 heatpipe stock amd heatsink from supposedly Delta.

So all I've seen is the low end shitty AMD stock coolers made by CoolerMaster and they underwhelm me.

Pretty much this. I had to put together a VMWare host so I could host like 25 Developer VM's and AMD was the only choice. 32 AMD cores was the price of 12 Intel cores, and for a highly threaded application like virtualization, the minor per core speed advantage of the Intel was far outweighed by the sheer number of cores that I could get from the AMD.

that is bizarre. My friend just bought an 8350 and got that same HSF but with cooler master fan on it.

I do know that the 6350 has a different fan from the 6300 due to the TDP difference; that probably holds true across all the SKU brackets.

The AVC cooler variant I have had in the past and it performed badly, but then again it was trying to cool an OC'd Phenom II X4 965 (140W variant). It was hitting 70C+ easily. I've seen better perf from the CM variants I've had, and they're a little quieter as well.

As for any Delta fans, it's too bad but I haven't had any come my way yet. A shame as they're one of my favorite OEM fan makers.

He should actually be happy unless he values quiet above performance; Delta fans are known for giving literally no fucks about anything except MTBF and pumping out the jam when it comes to performance. If he wants quiet he can just set a better profile in firmware or software and shut the fuck up.

Unless delta is skimping on that fan, which I've never seen them do yet, the tier system for these coolers would be Delta > Cooler Master > AVC > Foxconn.

only pic I have of my guts but I've had my 212 evo fan on my 8320 now for over 2 years and she has never skipped a beat. Only runs 400-500rpm and is very quiet. Runs 20-28* celcius on average depending on load.

install wasn't complicated at all - where are people getting that from?
>>
>>51881902
yeah I definitely stand corrected. I earlier said that it was in the manual, but now reflecting back on that I don't think that was right either. I must have been confusing it with a Deepcool Gammaxx mount I also did recently.

Do I really need more than an i3 if I can play all my games with it at maximum settings?

>>51882325

Not yet no. Plus once you got to really high resolutions cpu is basically irrelevant unless its potato class.
>>
>>51882427
In 2-3 years when it's time to upgrade, I'll get a new core i3 or a core i5. I'll also get whatever new version of the GTX 960 or its equivalent are out. My motherboard has DDR4 RAM, which will last quite a while.
>>
>>51882427
that depends. will he be heavily multitasking while playing games? will he be wanting to stream using the CPU? will he be wanting to do any heavy transcoding work off the CPU? will he be wanting to run any servers while playing on them simultaneously? does he want to run multiseat to reduce overall cost and improve energy efficiency in his household? is he interested in reducing stuttering on newer titles that will expect more than 4 threads in the future? does he want to justify spending any more money than he should have spent on an Athlon X2 370K?

Basically, does he have any interest in being at all versatile?
>>
Nothing wrong with it, but some of us enjoy having lower temps in our computers.
My friends haswell quad core xeon got to 97°c during intel burn test on stock cooler. It's below the thermal cut off/throttling temp, but just barely.

Well if the answer to most of those questions in the here and now is yes there are only two real options: 8350 or balls out to a i7.

I HATE Intel stock heatsinks, holy hell are they bad. I was trying to do a motherboard upgrade and in doing to had to take my CPU out of the old one, with stock heatsink and all. The fucker simply would not come off under any circumstances. I ended up having to take a crowbar and pry the piece of shit off. This did the trick, but my troubles weren't over. I put my old CPU in my new mobo, and then prepared to put on a spare, unused Intel stock heatsink I had lying around, and would you know it, it would not fit. Despite properly seating it over the processor, only one of the four corners ever clamped down. Fuck stock heatsinks.

>>51881674
It's possible that your motherboard makes it impossible, my Asus m5a97 r2.0 board had holes that allowed me to mount it either way.

I run an i5 2500 non k with a stock fan and I love it. No problems ever.
>>
>>51883144

I used to have an i5-2500k with stock cooler, overclocked to 4GHz without any problems. Those CPUs are literally legendary-tier, and should NEVER be tossed out.

I switched to an i7-4790k because I can achieve the same thing without overclocking, and because motherboards with better hardware options were ditching the socket-type of the i5-2500k. Either way, save that CPU for anything you can think of (server, VM, etc).

I wouldn't spend too much on mine but I'd get a better model honestly.

>i fucking hate Intel and NVIDIA for all the shit they pull off just to sell their stuff, but i value my money too

Then why support the two companies with the worst performance per dollar ratio in the industry?
>>
>>51884889

'Cuz /g/ is full of consumer whores, thus whoever has the betterm arketing must inherently have the better product. If you haven't heard of a company they - by definition - are shit.

You can see this when /g/ talks about power supply units. "Super Flower? lol never heard of them must be some chink shit".

>>51885795
I knew someone who bought a TrueSpirit 120 for his Celeron E3300, it still died this year and he upgraded to an i5.

I have his true spirit on a shelf as he didn't want to buy the 1150 mounting kit and wanted to upgrade to water cooling down the line.
>>
>>51885725
TJMAX for recent intel CPUs is 100C in which they will trigger a shutdown.
They'll happily run 24/7 at full speed as long as you keep it under 80~85C as it throttles when it hits that..
>>
>>51885725
>Am I being trolled ? Your processor should have melted by now at those tmeps.

Are you retarded? 95 is very doable for many processors.
>>
>>51875536
That thing is loud

>>51886273

Ironically FX chips need to be kept far cooler than most cpus in existence (even other AMD chips) - their max temp is more or less 70c.
>>
>>51886985

Last AMD I had was just after Thunderbird. Not that I remember what max temp it supported but 70 is fucking nothing nowadays. Glad I got a sandy bridge i5 over an FX.

It goes into overspeed at boot to supposedly kick off dust. Plenty of laptops go full speed with the fan at boot too.
>>
>>51875536
My meme3258 runs at 1.28V 4.3GHz with the stock cooler and never gets over 70C, But the only way I can even stress it enough to get to 70C is by running a stress test. All other times the maximum temperature it gets to is in the 60s.
>>
>>51875536
I don't, since I don't OC or otherwise run my hardware out of spec the stock cooler is fine for me.
>>
>>51876555
This, I had to underclock a 4790k in a new build this summer until I could get a better heatsink

Are there any retard proof coolers for socket 1155? Want to finally get rid of stock cooler but I think I remember having trouble with putting it in in the first place.

I don't want some fucking beast worth a backplate as I'm not OCing anyway. I5 2400 btw.
>>
>>51893712
Coolermaster TX3 EVO
or Coolermaster Hyper212x Turbo if you're ok with a backplate.
>>
>>51893913
I've been looking at low profile coolers because they seem cheap and mostly don't use backplates.

The zalmann cnps8900 and noctua nhl9a

Those two aren't that great in terms of cooling capacity. The Noctua NHL9A is basically made for server rack mount cases.

Check out the Noctua NH-L9x65 ?

>>51888265
The problem is the fact that stock coolers use adhesive thermal paste. Shit becomes like concrete after a while.
>>
>>51893979
I have come across that one but thought it would be louder because of the smaller fan, then again it's going to be miles quieter than the Intel stock thing.

My pc has been running flawlessly and for some reason i keep tellong myself to get the easiest thing to install otherwise ill fuck it up. Ive always been suspicious of really tall and heavy heatsinks.
>>
Both AMD and Intel have awful stock heatsinks.
Intel's are bad and Amd's are loud.

Works fine if you ask me.
