Hello there,

second post ever on here and im looking for some opinions. im looking for HSF pretty beefy for long hours of gaming but also pretty cost effective. my budget is around $60-$80 not including shipping if i have to. once again its a i5 4670k(just bought and installed yesterday). its running pretty hot with the stock one it came with. ( 68C/69C while idoling). that pretty hot in my book but ive also seen other threads stating this chip runs pretty hot as well. just trying to get your guys opinion of different choice of HSF i could go with? help please? and if this a repost that i didnt see before im sorry....

Thanks!
Austin

If you are not overclocking, the best value is the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus for $30

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099

This one is a bit better, but costs a full $10 more:

If you are not overclocking, either of the two above would be great.

But if you want the best in air cooling:

The All-Time classic:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608018

Or the even better:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608020

This one also will cool your ram and motherboard too.

But these last two are about $80. I'd not recommend them unless you plan to overclock now or in the future.

to be honest this my first build ive been building for the last couple months( getting ready for the holiday gaming season) and honestly i dont know jack about liquid cooling(but i know my case supports it). it might be something i want to look into if i decide to go all out for my rig but for the mean time im just keeping its...simple so to speak. but thanks for the feedback!

From Frostytech web site.

Results based on readings from a 30x30mm copper interface die with 150W and 85W heat loads applied on the LGA775/1156 version of the Mk.II Test Platform. Temperature results listed for each heatsink were calculated by determining the rise over ambient temperatures at time of test.

Between the last Best CPU Cooler Performance project that covered Intel LGA1366 and AMD AM3 sockets, and the final LGA775 article (Best CPU Cooler Performance LGA775 - Q4 2008), I've learned that processor architecture can have a huge impact on heatsink performance. I'm not referring to speed or voltages here, because those factors are a given when it comes to cooling. What I'm referring to is how the 45nm Intel Bloomfield Core-i7 is going to have a 'heat signature' area that differs slightly from 32nm Gulftown. In fact, Gulftown's 248mm2 die package is closer to a Lynnfield LGA1156 Core-i7 CPU. Those heatsinks with a larger contact surface (and heatpipe base) will best serve 45nm AMD Phenom-II processors with a 258mm2 die or 45nm Intel Core-i7 quad-core 263mm2 Bloomfield CPU's. Essentially, it's important to research the cooler's physical information in addition to performance results when you're shopping for a CPU cooler. It's not a one-size-fits-all heatsink market, and the biggest cooler doesn't always provide the best performance. With these consideration in mind, I will offer several different product suggestions based on these test results and my past experience.

I am trying to find the followup article which shows the correlation between the various sockets and which ones shows similar heat signatures.... will get back with what jives with what.
