Best cooling option for the Silverstone Raven RVZ01

Knaffils · Oct 22, 2015

Hello community!

I am looking for a CPU cooler for quite a while now that fits this case and gets good temps (under 60) but can't choose, so could someone just tell me what is the best and fits the case?

Thanks in advance, Knaffils.

You didn't like the AR06 recommendation in your other thread? Really is a solid cooler for low profile builds. It also remains in the "no-go" zone, so no RAM or other component problems.

Mr5oh :

It depends, if it stays under 60 degrees C that might be my choice. I also got a recommendation to get the Noctua NH-L9i. I thought maybe I could stack the Noctuas, for even more cooling, because they are 37mm in height each.

To me the NH-L9i looks exactly like the AR05, which is lower profile, and only two heat pipes. The AR06 is taller, and four heat pipes, which to me indicates it would have to cooler better.

I don't know what you mean by stack, but no, you can't stack CPU coolers as far as I'm aware.

I will try and get some temps from my HTPC today. I have temps but not overclocked temps, and honestly I'm not sure if they were the stock cooler, or the AR06, as I ran both on my G3258. I did check them when overclocked, but apparently I didn't write them down, I remember it being perfectly acceptable though. Since I wasn't exactly sure when those temps were taken, I didn't want to post them in your other thread. Unfortunately that machine is now an I5-4590 which will create more heat, but we'll see what I get anyways.

As mentioned in your other thread though, I don't think your RVZ01 case has as much air flow as my ML03.

Thanks man, you are a boss!

Ok now, remember I have since replaced my G3258 with an I5-4590 which is a higher wattage than the G3258.

For these tests, I am running the maximum heat tests in Prime95, not just the regular default test:

Idle:............... 26 C
v26.6............. 52 C
v28.7............. 66 C

I let the tests run for 10 minutes to give the temp time to stabilize and those are the results I got. Since 26.6 never broke 60 C, I doubt you'd find a game that does.

I think your temps maybe a bit higher, as my case appears to have better air flow than your's would. I am using four Antec 80mm fans on the one side, all set to low on their switches to keep things quiet.
