Intel Core i5 4590 cooling

rfinn23 · Apr 28, 2016

Hey guys,

Would this cpu Intel Core i5 4590 3.30GHz Socket 1150 be ok with this liquid cooler http://www.ebuyer.com/698854-cooler-master-seidon-120-ver2-120mm-radiator-1x120mm-silencio-fan-cpu-liquid-cooler-rl-s12v-24pk-r2

I will not be overclocking anything. but gaming heavily

Would it be better than the stock cooler? Would it use a lot more power from PSU?

Thanks

Better for what?

If, with the stock cooler, you're staying under 80-85c during typical usage, I wouldn't bother changing anything. Intel CPUs are designed to survive high temperatures for decades.

No it won't draw much power from the PSU. Yes it would cool better than the stock cooler. Will your case clear any of the budget coolers like the CM Evo 212, Cryorig H7, etc?

While AIO water cooler leaks are rare, is it worth the risk? I lost my entire 3570k build to a leak. You aren't overclocking, or doing anything extreme, realistically even the stock cooler will work. On top of that AIO water cooler has a limited lifespan. An air cooler with a replaceable fan can last virtually forever.

If I were you I'd buy a cheap $20 or less cooler for it. You can't overclock the 4590 and at stock it doesn't need or require much cooling. Grab a cheap cooler and the money you saved can go towards a better GPU in the future.

If your worried about temps on the cpu you can grab a hyper 212 or cryorig h7. I have the h7 on my 4590 and running occt it stays below 60c but you don't necessarily need the after market cooler

If you do not OC, stock cooler will work but aftermarket cooler is recommended.
Having water cooler or any expensive air cooler is not needed, a simple CM Hyper 212 is already more than enough.
I am using BeQuite! Shadow Rock Slim on my E3-1231V3.

Any aftermarket cooler is not necessary, only reason I'd change is if the stock cooler were too noisy under my preferences. i5 4590 will easily outlast its usefulness even under the stock cooler. It's money wasted if you're just trying to lower temperatures, because you're not overclocking.
