In terms of price/performance, the 212 Evo is always a good choice. Yes, there are better coolers but they cost substantially more.

DasHotShot · May 26, 2015

As I understand the Evo 212 is popular and the BeQuiet Pure Rock is quiet and cools well.

Here are some noise Benchs: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/CPUCooling/774

Personally, I would recommend none on this list and suggest you pick a Cryorig cooler.

Rene Matuscak · May 26, 2015

thanks people for answer and its not problem about budget I need really good one

DasHotShot · May 26, 2015

Cryorig H5, H7 or R1

They're just that good

Rene Matuscak · May 26, 2015

yes but they are not in the list.. but will Cooler Master V8 GTS Cooler £74.99 fit into corsair graphite 760t ?

williamcummins · May 26, 2015

If price is not an issue, Noctua NH-D 15 and Phanteks PH-TC14PE should be considered.

DasHotShot · May 26, 2015

williamcummins :

He is gonna tell you they aren't on his crappy list

bicycle_repair_man · May 26, 2015

Let's put personal remarks aside and remember the forum rules, shall we?

OP, is there a reason why you can't consider other coolers? The NH-D15 is arguably the best heatsink cooler on the market. The V8 is good however, and it will fit in your case.

Rene Matuscak · May 26, 2015

bicycle_repair_man :

thank you for answer I am buying computer on Vibox.co.uk so I can customize it but they dont have that NH-D15 :/

DasHotShot · May 26, 2015

Rene Matuscak :

If I had been given this info from the get go I would have approached it differently...

I assumed he lived somewhere near Pluto where he has one merchant or he has used some rubbish review site for reference.

Pick the evo 212, it has decent performance per pound

Rene Matuscak · May 26, 2015

DasHotShot :

Can you stop being rude please??? I didnt ask your advice and I am not here to argue with anyone this forum is here for help to those who needs it and if you think I wanna talk with you in your way you are wrong you dont have to comment I would really appreciate it thanks

bicycle_repair_man · May 26, 2015

Rene Matuscak :

The V8 offers the best performance but the 212 offers the best blend of price/performance.

For the record, the OP stated that they were restricted to that list in the first sentence of their original post, and the currency indicates where they're from.

Rene Matuscak · May 26, 2015

bicycle_repair_man :

Thanks so I will go for V8 I really appreciate your help! have a good day

DasHotShot · May 26, 2015

How was I rude there? It's an exaggerated way to say you may live remotely with few retailers and like many you used a bad list for reference?

There is no insult there, at least none intended.

The fact your thread has created a discussion where many people seem to recommend coolers not on Vibox's list should concern you more.

You are paying over RRP for components and construction and it makes recommending parts very hard for people who would normally recommend without restrictions.

The specs you mention can be built using better components, at an overall lower price than any prebuilt system builder can offer.

Ponder that point, it may be worht your while learning about system components and building it yourself.

Putting all that aside, I even recommended a cooler off your list as the best price per pound cooler.

So please don't flip your lid when I criticize Vibox's cooler options.

Rene Matuscak · May 26, 2015

yea sure DasHotShot because I can play without no problem Gta 5 on max settings with Intel stock Cooler LOL the computer would burn and I gave you exactly the same info as on TOP telling you all cpu coolers I have available and you were still recommending me the one that wasnt on the list. then you started to be rude telling me I live somewhere near Pluto sure because people can live on near Pluto right? Yea sure go on Mars

and then you said I am showing my ''crappy'' list its the List I have chosen and I were asking for advice so its up to you to first read what I have added there before you start commenting on the cpu coolers that are NOT on the list.

DasHotShot · May 26, 2015

Rene Matuscak :

Actually the CPU would be completely fine and not come anywhere near to burning.

Intel Stock cooler are totally ok and are designed to cool the CPU even under 100% load...anything else would be illegal. it is recommended you upgrade when overclocking or for overall improved thermal performance.

This shows how little you know about the topic and why you came to this site for help. so this is again not a criticism, it is a reality or a fact. For some these are hard to accept and they get defensive over nothing. I already said I never meant any offence. So I will say SORRY again.

Well done for asking the question and now that you have picked your answer (note I mentioned the evo 212 is popular) I wish you happy gaming.
