Cooler for i7 6700k / ASUS Z170 A [Cryorig H7 is not availabe in my country]

kamalgajera · Oct 5, 2016

going to order
i7 6700k 4.0GHz (not going to overclock now, might take it to 4.5GHz in future)
ASUS Z170 A LGA1151
Ripjaws V 16GB(2x8GB) 2666MHz
Samasung EVO 850 500GB SSD
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 220

how good is Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for all these components?
if its good enough, what will be the temperature of processor with this cooler? i'd love if it goes around 20-25C`

Cooler Master Hyper 212X
Corsair Hydro Series H80i
are these any good?

Cryorig H7 is not available in my country
or should i go for Liquid Cooler?

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I'M SELECTING WRONG PARTS WHICH ARE NOT COMPACTABLE WITH EACHOTHER

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

check the noctua coolers for Air.
as for the Liquid, don't get those crappy AiO from Corsair. If you want something decent, it's going to cost you from 150% to 200% the price of good air cooler like Noctua (that are probably the best air coolers).In exchange you get quieter system with lower temps.

The Corsair Hydro Series H80i v2 will keep your i7-6700K much cooler if/when you overclock. It would also keep your idling temps down around the 25-30° range. All of these parts work with each other, no errors at all:

212X is the 3rd Generation of the 212's , will perform almost on par with the H80i.

What country are you from?

n0ns3ns3 :

any particular model you like to suggest?

what temperature it will maintain?

n0ns3ns3 · Oct 5, 2016

for air (not much space restrictions)- http://pcpartpicker.com/product/8pgPxr/noctua-cpu-cooler-nhd9l
for liquid - https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xlc-predator-240

DT523 :

i've seen issue with corsair's liquid coolers like leakage, will it be problem in this one?
another thing, do i need to change the liquid ever or any maintenance in this cooler?

thanks for information about compactability

n0ns3ns3 :

thanks Noctua NH-D9L seems perfect

one last thing, my PSU has enough power or i need to go with more wattage?
anything else you like to suggest?

thanks bud

n0ns3ns3 · Oct 5, 2016

this PSU is more than enough for any single GPU system.

n0ns3ns3 :

hey mate, completed my build, went with Noctua D9L and i7 6700k
its been 3 days.
thanks for helping me out

but the thing here is, when i browse with multiple tabs in chrome and listen music
my cpu temperature goes to 64, 62, 61, 60 (maximum hits) with cores 0 1 2 3
while lowest temps are 39, 39, 38, 39
i have set fan to it's maximum speed 2000rpm

i removed the fan, removed the thermal paste and attached the fan again
no luck

i'm using CoreTemp 1.5

are these temps ok or i need to do something to cool down the temps?

n0ns3ns3 · Nov 25, 2016

This temps while completely safe are a bit high.
check with HWMonitor what CPU clock and voltage when the temps are reaching 60+

kamalgajera · Nov 26, 2016

n0ns3ns3 :

clock rate is 799 to 4202
and voltage is 0.768 to 1.315

what if i attach another fan with the cooler? will there be any improvements in temps?

n0ns3ns3 · Nov 26, 2016

you probably enabled some automatic overclocking.
that's why your CPU is running a bit hot.
At over 1.3v it's completely normal temps. As a side note, such high voltage is not required for 4.2GHz

kamalgajera · Nov 26, 2016

n0ns3ns3 :

i havent made any changes in BIOS except enabling XMP.
tho there are many things set to Auto by default.
so what voltage do you suggest to set with 4.0GHz?

one last thing, what are the warning temps? like after hitting that temp i should stop all the process

thanks

n0ns3ns3 · Nov 26, 2016

reset the bios to defaults.
the default voltage for 6700K is 1.2v.

kamalgajera · Nov 27, 2016

n0ns3ns3 :

idk whats wrong, i've set it to 1.2 but still VID in HWMonitor goes to 1.3v+
maybe the RAM is causing the heating, if i set it to 2133 the temps goes down, but when i set it to 3000MHz temps raises 7-8
one last thing, if i attach another fan with cooler, will it help?

n0ns3ns3 · Nov 27, 2016

The ram speed affects the memory controller voltage - it can cause a bit higher temps.
if you set the CPU voltage on manual 1.2v, it supposed to stay there.
check that some OC profile is not enabled, XMP is the only thing that should be enabled.

kamalgajera · Nov 27, 2016

n0ns3ns3 :

nope, after setting different values, voltages dont seem to settle there, it still goes to 1.3v+
one thing i forget to mention, it's Gigabyte Gaming 5 MOBO i'm using.
and i havnet change any setting except enabling XMP (which i have disabled now) and changing to voltage to 1.200V

n0ns3ns3 · Nov 28, 2016

strange.
I'm not really familiar with GB as they pissed me long time ago, but it supposed to behave similarly to others.
there is supposed to be an option to set the voltages on "stock/default" as well as all clocks.

kamalgajera · Nov 28, 2016

n0ns3ns3 :

no problem
thanks for your kind help

anything else you like to suggest in general?

n0ns3ns3 · Nov 28, 2016

RTFM

I mean go through the manual for your MB. you can download it from GB site and it will explain every option in BIOS including overclocking and voltages.
