Best liquid CPU cooler for a micro ATX B85M Pro4?

doomerjosh · Apr 28, 2015

I recently upgraded my CPU and motherboard and currently i'm stuck using the stock cooler, which isn't too bad but doesn't perform well under load after OC.

Could anyone recommend a good value CPU liquid cooler for my mobo? a B85M Pro4

A lot will depend on the case your system is in. But I have used the Corsair H60 in a several of my builds with great success. Athlon X4 860K OC'd, Phenom II X4 965BE OC'd, FX-8350 OC'd, the CPU in my sig below... Plenty of temp headroom with them all.

Does your case support dual fan radiators? Often times you need to get a 240mm clc to really justify the increased price. If you can tell me your system build I can recommend a cooler. If you really need to use 120mm i would go with a corsair h80i, great temps but the only issue is that it's loud. It's thick too so it might not fit.

...That's why I recommended the H60. The 4 wire, PWM rad fan plugs into the CPU FAN header and is controlled by the BIOS just like the stock cooler fan was. Mine were nearly silent under all intense gaming.

Interesting, I always thought H80i was the way to go for 120mm clc units.

good to know.

I can't vouch for the 80i, since I've never used it. My point was simply that if the i80 has no way to control the fan speed, then the H60 would be better if noise was a concern. I would assume the two are fairly equal in cooling performance.
