Picking a CPU Cooler

FrostyZed · Aug 10, 2015

Hello gentlemen.

I've unboxed my new I7-3770k today and decided to boost the clock frequency to 39X.

While playing DayZ ( A game well known for it's insane amount of CPU Usage (not joking it's 70% CPU 30% GPU)) one of my cores reached 90c while the others maxed on 88c.

I was told it's not a good response, and since i'm using the cooler the i7 came with, I believe you guys can recommend me a good one, doesn't have to be that cheap. but I can't find one to fit my motherboard

CPU - i7-3770k
Cooler - Intel E97378-001 (it's the stock one)
Motherboard - Gigabyte P67-DS3-B3

Good day,

Take a look at this one, I do currently own it, if I do some fan tuning I can get the CPU to run on 26 - 30 degrees on idle, I own a i7 4790K

Cheers, are you sure it will fit my motherboard?

They used the i7 3770K to benchmark and see what temps they are getting, it is a all in one mounting bracket

I think the more important question is ... "Will it fit in your case?"

I second this. I installed it on my AMD FX-9590, a volcano of a CPU and it works wonders.

And for the price, it is really worth it, it is rather big (dual fan radiator) but I love it, nice and quiet as well

After consulting my parents I can see how amazingly this cooler can be but i'm afraid the price is just wow, to consider that if yo use it as 88$ I see it as 130$ since i'm ordering it in my country and they always raise the computer prices., can we get more recommendations???
