[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

[--LegoPepper--]

Don't buy the Corsair H60, it's louder than most air coolers and overkill for a CPU running at stock speeds. The Cryorig H7 is $35 on NewEgg, is ultra-quiet and cools better than the 212 EVO.

Hmm
I really just want my cpu to run (at max) 60 degrees celsius instead of the mid 80s.

it could get even hotter for all I know. I just end up shutting stuff down once it gets to that point

also to clarify I really don't mind shelling out an extra $20 just to ensure it's cooled

Do you have and AMD?

I think you're being a little paranoid about the temps. Hitting 85°C in something like Prime95 isn't dangerous; if it was, Intel would've set the CPU to thermal-throttle at those temps or shipped it with a better cooler.

But I cant get it in a shop nearby :(
And I dont feel like ordering online tho because delivery costs

Oh, I'm not saying the 212 EVO is bad by any means, it'll still be good for your intents and purpose, I'm just saying that the Cryorig H7 is a better option, even if it's a little more expensive.

Pretty much this. The stock coolers are designed to not overheat the cpu wichever task it is. Either way of you have AMD, AMD uses algorithms to know its temperature (or atleast thats what someone told me) so its not always accurate.

I see. Either way out of this list wich would you choose thats ~30 and is so quiet you cant hear m. As log as it cools as good as the stock cooler

uh no amd uses temperature sensors just like everyone else

Really? Lol must've been mistaken. Or the person that told me.

Edit: lol gay my case only supports cooler up to 155mm while literally every good cooler is 160mm.
Was adding 5 more millimeters that hard?

The TX3 EVO and 212 EVO should both be good enough; I'd get the TX3 since it's cheaper, easier to install and shouldn't have RAM clearance issues.

I see
Wait
You can replace the actual fan on it?
This is the best thing ever since sliced bread

Thank you based pentium.

Hyper T4 is great too and cheap. I get ~24c idle with my overclocked 4690k.

So I'm buying this:

What do you guys think? I'm just going to use it for general gaming, and as a jumping off point for a better system down the line.

build your own

those computers will stuff out on PSUs, motherboards, optical drives, and even HDDs

dont buy them

This in a nutshell, just follow a guide on youtube and build your own, the worst part of prebuilt ones are they plaster their logo all over the rig and it looks bad.

[Frontrox]

I'll look into it, but honestly I'd rather not build my own despite the potential savings/reliability of one you build yourself.

Edit:Yeah that's silly to say. Ill take a look at some builds when I get home.

How can I further optimize this build while keeping it under $540? I already have extra hard drives and the 2 Radeon HD 6870s.

why are you using amd APUs in a system that will crossfire
