Heatsink + fan I5 4690
-
Hello good afternoon
I recently bought a computer with the following characteristics:- Motherboard: Asus H97M-E
- Processor: I5 4690
- Ram memory: 8gb PC1600 Kingston Hyperx fury
- HD: 2x1Tb
- Tower: Nox Coolbay SX
And right now I'm using the stock cooler that comes with the processor, with which I get temperatures (playing Far Cry 4 for example) of 68ºC, approximately.
I would like to buy a cooler that also fits in my tower, on a budget of 50€, and when I save a little more change the fans of the cooler to make it as quiet as possible.
I've been looking at pages and it seems that these two coolers are commonly used: - COOLER MASTER HYPER 212 EVO
- Cryorig H7
The doubt is whether the Cryorig H7 would fit in my case.
The second is whether it's worth installing push-pull with the Hyper212 evo, if it's worth the expense, and if so, which fans to install.
Well, what do you recommend?
I look forward to your recommendations.
Best regards
P.D: Many websites say that the Hyper 212 evo doesn't work for LGA 1150, but on the official page it does, do you know if it can be used for LGA 1150?

Unless you have fans in the side panel of the case blowing air in, any cooler will fit in that case.

No… you'll just get noise.
Well what do you recommend?
Buy whichever you want, both are good although the quality of the Cryoring is superior and the fan is quieter and of much better quality.

No problem… LGA 1156,1155, 1150, 1151 are the same from the point of view of compatibility in the positioning of the mounting holes... the only thing is that it's never indicated because it's obvious, but unless Intel redesigns the socket of its mid-range range this is going to keep being like this for years.

So will I be able to lower the high temperatures that I get now? because now I easily reach 65°C -
Well, 65ºC in Intel is nothing… if you're worried about that, it's better not to spend a euro... you'll win in silence and temperatures will drop but that micro can work perfectly intensively at 90º for years and it won't give you a single problem.
It's another thing if you want to keep it cooler or want a SILENT PC which is the best thing out there.
How much cooler?... it always depends on the ambient temperature but in this graph you can see that the stock cooler is pretty bad:
And in this one that is much quieter than any other option:
That is, as I say, for those temperature values it's silly to spend the money… the TjMax (or maximum operating temperature) is 100ºC for these processors so only from this temperature is it dangerous for the processor to work. It's also the moment when measures of reduction of consumption are activated and generally lower the Mhz... if it is exceeded by much or a temperature higher is maintained in a sustained way the equipment will turn off to avoid damage.

Personally, I prefer to do without the stock coolers. Mounting any of the coolers mentioned is to be safe, it's not an excessive expense and we avoid possible surprises when Lorenzo tightens up.
If we also have to rely on integrated, then all the more so.Edit: According to the manufacturer, the maximum height for the cooler of that tower is 158 mm. The Cryorig H7 measures 145 mm, but the CM 212 EVO measures 159mm.

Hello, that's exactly what I was referring to, that when it gets hot I will have a PC oven, and what I want to prevent is exactly that, since currently the PC ventilation system is correct

In summer, to those 65ºC you just have to add the temperature differential between what you have now in your room and what you have in summer… let's say 20ºC in winter and 35ºC which is the maximum recommended by manufacturers... deltaT= 35-20= 15ºC
Therefore the temperature of your processor will be in summer of 65+15 = 80ºC which is still well below the TjMax.
I repeat and emphasize... these micros consume less than a lighter and barely heat up and the stock heatsink is more than enough... another thing is that we want a SILENT PC
