Reddit reviews be Quiet! BK008 Pure Rock Slim - CPU Cooler - 120W TDP- Intel 1150 / 1151/ 1155/ 1156 & AMD Socket AM2(+) / AM3(+) / AM4 / FM1 / FM2(+)

Definitely get a cheap 3rd party cooler for that CPU my dude. An H7 would do just fine.

Edit: On second thought, Cryorig must be going out of business because the cooler I paid under around $30 is now well over $100. Another great option would be the budget king H212 Evo and step-ups include Noctua's offering or the Scythe Mugen, BeQuiet's, all are great budget coolers.

$51 and 125mm tall

So, for $973 here is the list of components you can actually buy:

cooler, which is optional

motherboard

Cpu

Ram

Gpu

hard drive

case

PSU

I did what I could to save where I could and allocate elsewhere. You won't need to upgrade too soon from this moving forward. If you'd rather go cheaper I can help with that as well.

Hello! Welcome to the community. So:

1. Usually i5 cpus are low temperature processors. They are very hard to get hot. I would recommend a simple one like this :
   https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01KVNCEIG/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1519481888&sr=8-13&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Cpu+cooler
   
   
2. Your build seems OK to get MacOS working. Wi-Fi is impossible to get working though because Apple only uses a couple of chips for MacOS so you will need a wifi card.

Out of those two the spire is better, but if noise is an issue for you i would simply buy a bigger cooler if i were you. Something like the arctic freezer 33 tr, or this one. https://www.amazon.com/Quiet-BK008-Pure-Rock-Slim/dp/B01KVNCEIG/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1541153885&sr=8-7&keywords=be+quiet+cooler

This is complete overkill, but it's THE Noctua cooler to have.

You could also get something basic like these:

• https://www.amazon.com/quiet-BK008-Pure-Rock-Slim/dp/B01KVNCEIG/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1496800603&sr=1-4&keywords=am4%2Bcooler&th=1

  And add a fan like this:

Either of these will do well, cost less and look better. Good luck!

>CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X

Hab ich auch, läuft super!

>Mainboard: MSI B350M PRO-VDH

Kann ich auch nur empfehlen

Lüfter:

Kommt darauf an, wie wichtig dir ein leiser Lüfter ist. Wie wäre es damit, von BeQuiet - BK008 Prozessorlüfter?
Der Standardlüfter, der bei dem Prozessor dabei ist, ist meiner Meinung nach Schrott. Klar, er tut seine Arbeit, ist aber viel zu laut!

Schau für eine Grafikkarte mal bei Ebay Kleinanzeigen nach einer GTX 970. Wird nicht mehr hergestellt, wird aber öfter noch verkauft, weil sich die meisten jetzt eine 1060 holen (oder später die 20er)

Für 100€ (am besten mit noch laufender Garantie) findet man da was.

Something like this noctua: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Noctua-NH-D9L-Premium-Cooler-NF-A9/dp/B00PIPCFX2/

If you're looking for something small-ish but still powerful and quiet.

Noctua is pretty expensive though lol.

BeQuiet coolers are quiet and a bit cheaper: https://www.amazon.co.uk/QUIET-BK008-Heatsink-Intel-Sockets/dp/B00HPXZF2I/

Cheap 20 pounds Bequiet 3-heatpipe 92mm small heatsink, If you just want 4GHz and not more: https://www.amazon.co.uk/QUIET-BK008-Heatsink-Intel-Sockets/dp/B01KVNCEIG/

Can handle up to 1.33v~ ish maybe.

I would suggest a tower style air cooler in the $30-$40 range. They are the most reliable and simplest solution, and offers the most value for your money. There's quite a lot of options:

bq! Pure Rock Slim $30 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KVNCEIG/

​

CM Hyper 212 EVO $35 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005O65JXI/

​

CM Hyper 212 Black $37 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H25DYM3/

​

Arctic Freezer 34 $34 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MQ9MQ5M/

​

Enermax ETS-TF40F $36 https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16835214064

​

There's like a half dozen more options, these are some highlights looking at the current cooler prices on pcpartpicker.

How do I figure out if my hyperx ddr4 ram will fit in my Asus strix b360 h motherboard using this cooler?? https://amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01KVNCEIG/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1527631252&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=cpu+cooler

That one?

This CPU fan is also 24% off.

There are better coolers than the 212 Evo for the same price.

I will as well suggest to get a cheap and reliable chromebook to get the job done in collegue and use the rest of the money, plus the money you can get from selling the xbox one and xbox 1 games, for a decent gaming desktop. Don't go any bigger than a mid tower case though and i can recommend the zalman z9 or the z1 for such a build. I completed a build for my brother earlier this summer and we managed to fit inside a full size atx mobo, a zotac extreme 1070 ( litteraly the biggest card i have ever seen from close, massive like a brick ) and a BE QUIET cooler. The case costed 30 euros during a sale and it also came with all fan slots filled with fans and it has decent airflow as well.

A build with a used skylake or haswell i5, a zxxx mobo and 8 or 16 gigs of ram will hold you for quite a few years. A 4gb rx 470 is a great card for it's price and will last you for quite some time as well, or alteratively pick a used gtx 970 if you can find a bargain for it. Use the tv for a monitor for now, keep the xbox controller and you are set and done.

It's hard for me to recommend a cooler outright. Things like case & RAM clearances might be an issue and availability/price vary with location. But a quick search I found https://www.amazon.com/Quiet-BK008-Pure-Rock-Slim/dp/B01KVNCEIG/.

It's rated for 120W so it should cool well if you don't plan to overclock much. It's low cost and it has a mounting mechanism that that does not need a plate to be installed.

Just make sure the coolers dimensions will clear your case/RAM.

I would also buy some extra thermal compound just in case you need to remount. Make sure to reapply paste each time you remove a heatsink and clean off all the old paste first. 91%+ Isopropyl alcohol and a coffee filter works well for cleaning.

CPU uses an AM3 chipset. You can try these coolers:

DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 300

Rosewill ROCC-16003

be Quiet! Pure Rock Slim

Thermaltake Contac Silent 12

So neither the motherboard's PDF guide nor the BIOS environment itself gave me viewing options for any fans' °C vs. RPM curves. Manual settings only offer me to set min and max temperatures, and RPM values respectively. Though 75°C was indeed quoted in the PDF as max "CPU temperature" for standard fan operation mode which has been active so far. There's a turbo option there, so I suppose I could turn that on if I wanted to monitor any curve behavior differences, but ultimately I want a PC that doesn't occasionally freak out but also isn't too loud all the time.

PDF itself doesn't recommend updating BIOS "unless problems", so since I don't expect a newer BIOS version would show me any curves, I'll leave it be.

I found a praised 120W CPU fan from BeQuiet for €20, probably gonna pick that up, but the W seems huge (and there's even a 250W option for €80). Gonna have to upgrade PSU to at least 650W, no choice at this point.

__

Thinking about everything combined, I suppose what happens is indeed the CPU temperature crosses a threshold, then all fans available go into turbo until it sinks to tollerable. I also have a feeling the fans aren't as loud as they used to be when running a heavy-load game on ultra (before takeoff), so maybe the stock CPU fan really is giving up (though lifespan for fans in general seems to be quoted at around 150k hours as a rule of thumb?) and the hardware itself is what is affecting curve calculations.

It looks like the Be Quiet Pure Rock Slim BK008 might have an easy installation like the Intel one. (Has no back bracket, has the same Intel style locks).

If you take a look at the user guide they posted on Amazon it doesn't have a back bracket.

Idk if this is best one but from what I hear it should work with the i4770k and motherboards that use it
