Air Cooling For i7 8700k
Air Cooling For i7 8700k
Hello, I’m considering boosting my CPU’s performance while working in Cinema 4D or After Effects. I won’t be running it at full overclock levels continuously. My setup includes an MSI Z370-A Pro with an i7 8700K processor, and I have five case fans—blue LED ones from Sharkoon—plus four that are aimed at the CPU cooling slot and the GPU backplate. I’m searching for the most affordable yet effective air cooler options. The models I’m evaluating are:
1. Arctic Freezer 11 LP
2. Arctic Freezer 12
3. Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2
4. Antecedent C400 Elite Performance
5. Arctic Freezer 33
6. Arctic Freezer Xtreme Rev 2
The lowest cost choice is number one, and the higher-end ones are six. I’m open to spending a bit more if it really helps, especially if it’s essential for my rendering tasks. My typical rendering involves around 1,000 frames of 3D text animation, which shouldn’t be too demanding.
There seems to be a notable variation in cost.
I would opt for the top-quality option.
Air coolers tend to have a longer lifespan and could even surpass your existing setup.
Upgrading to a newer platform often includes additional mounting accessories, making them more versatile.
