Hello guys,
On the web I never found something about this CPU aircooled, so I'm here I'm just writing my little experience.
First, I apologyze for my bad english, I'm good to write "yes" or "no" and "of course", but full phrases are a different metter to me... have patience, please
A couple of days ago, after weeks of googleing on reviews and reviews, I switched from water cooled system (Switfech H220) to air cooled heatsink I had the pleasure to find on amazon: I took interest in this PH-TC14PE for low-noise and low-temperature rating, even compared to ultracool Noctua we all know about.
The question is absolute: why switching? well, I'm in the way of customizing all my water cooling system for I'm not satisfied of what I had. I always was curious about 9590 behaviour with a good air cooler an, because I needed it for other various reasons, I gave it a try.
PRO:
really easy to mount
2 stock silent fans , brackets for a third fan already included
stock thermal compound Phanteks PH-NDC "high-purity nano diamond like particles"
silent, silent, silent...
CONS:
lost 2 dimm slots due to heatsink size: perhaps very tiny memory cards could be used, but I'm not so sure
I had to put outer fan in a higher position than intended, because my ram module are really high (Corsair Dominator Premium)
Case doesn't close for the reason above
higher idle temp (but really, who care?)
picture from the top:
How I lost 2 ram slots, and how I had to mount the outer fan:
And this one is too cool to keep in my pocket:
And here are the numbers:
Environment temp: , 25°C (+3°C than previous sampling)
Idle temp: 38°C (+5°C then previous cooler)
Gaming temp: 51°C (-10°C then previous cooler)
Stress test max: Prime95, 30 minutes, 64°C max, but continuously floating between 61°C and 64°C (previous cooler: not passed, always slowly raising over 70°C)
Writing this post: 41°C
Fan Noise: 600 rpm: 36db, 1200 rpm: 50db (keystroking on the keyboard: 61db) - thanks to android app Smart Tools Sound Meter
Well, considering environment temp being higher by 3°C, we all can do some calculations.
My conclusion: Test passed
AMD FX-9590 can be aircooled really well and Phanteks PH-TC14PE is a perfect in air cooling solution.
And, for cool bros, you can even buy an outstanding example of fancifulness
thanks for your attention,
cya
