Comparison of affordable LCL and costly AIO models for the Amd FX 8300
Fractal design defines r5 3x as very pure wings 2 140mm 7volt. Today I plan to connect them to my nzxt zentry 2 fan controller. My motherboard with the old 4 pin fans couldn't reach lower than 650 rpm, which was too low for the rated speeds (200-300 and up to 1200rpm). At 5 volts, the new Be Quiet 3pin fans run quietly. I usually use a case fan controller rated at 5,7 and 12 volt.
Asus Pro 970 gaming/aura, an FX 8300 at 4.2ghz, and a Noctua Nh-d15 standard RPM (AI Suite 3) are quiet under high voltage idle (1.368-1.380) and load (1.332 volt). At 140-150 watts around 500 rpm, they run smoothly without being loud, though noticeable. Noise stays under 100% unless it's very hot.
My limit is 4.2ghz, not due to CPU or motherboard, but because of temperatures. I want to keep the CPU at 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, or 4.5ghz (feeling that 4.2ghz helped in games). I need some suggestions for serious cooling for my FX 8300. I run it without power saving enabled, so it stays powered all the time across all cores.
How much difference does an expensive AIO make compared to a cheap LCL starting at Corsair H105/H110? And what’s the best affordable AIO/LCL CPU cooler under 135€ or 145€?
Looking for minimal noise and low temperatures? A 240mm rad won't cut it—you already possess one of the top coolers available for that purpose. Rads are naturally noisier due to their requirement for high static pressure and adequate rpm to move air through the radiator. If you need one, consider the h110i or kraken x52.
