What's the new go to cooler or what would I want to upgrade to if I currently Have a 212 evo


keep the 212

there's really not much of a difference, Not worth the swap.

Actually it's known for its crazy high TDP, not temperature. The heat is spread across an extraordinarily large amount of silicon so it can run cooler than Intel despite being less efficient and sipping more power.

Cryorig h7

Or

Corsair h100i


" Copper has a higher thermal conductivity, and therefore is superior to aluminum in processor cooling. Copper is better at conducting heat than aluminum, but aluminum is able to radiate the heat into the air better than copper because of its lower density. "

> Cryorig h7 is aluminum -> aluminum to aluminum
> 212 is Copper pipes -> transfer to the aluminum
??????
Same design

Negatives

Installation was a pain in the ass for my motherboard + Case!

I'm using the Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P and when in the case the motherboard fan power connectors were just too close to this monster size cooler.

The dip-ins for where you can place your screwdriver for smaller cases were not helpful at all. The screw dip-ins were about half the size they need to be to get an accurate screw-in. By that I mean you have to come in at an angle. And being that it sits OVER my first 2 ports of ram, it was harder than usual to get my big hands in there.

It's really really big... And when working to screw everything in right, that can be a problem for even SMALLER motherboards + cases. I recommend NOT using anything smaller than a mid tower for this- and possibly not using anything smaller than a FULL tower.


I need to see this ugly ass MoBo where the ram is practically kissing your cpu

Heat does not necessarily = temperature.

/e this is probably my fault anyway, i confused the issue by saying amd runs "cooler"

and this, think of "heat" is the multiplier to whatever is cooling (or heating) your sink.
AKA if you have a lot of cooling factors, and use copper, those cooling factors are a lot stronger now.

pretty sure there is some optimization function about when copper is better than aluminum. But it seems from the knowledge provided in this thread that aluminum is only good for low-output computers.

Think about the difference between 2 square feet of concrete in the sun and the spot a 1 square foot magnifying glass is focusing the sun onto. The former has more heat but the latter has a higher temperature.

Too bad noone told Intel that and they went and stopped using copper in their stock heatsinks entirely for the desktop with skylake.
