The larger units like D15, Dark Rock Pro 4 and Arctic Freezer 50 excel in quiet operation even when under heavy use. It really depends on your needs
It would be better if the noise stayed low while keeping the processor cool. Since the D15 is quite big, it seems best to stick with just one fan on the B550 gaming edge Wi-Fi and Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro. I began thinking about getting something smaller with dual fans instead.
You need to run the D15 using a single fan setting due to clearance problems with two fans. As mentioned, for quieter performance you should consider the D15, Dark Rock Pro 4, or Freezer 50. These options are quite similar. The main choice comes down to personal preference. While the D15 with one fan offers the best clearance among them, it still provides superior quiet operation.
I believe the Dark Rock Pro 4 may not be compatible, or it doesn't match the compatibility check on their website. The Dark Rock 4 non pro, though, works fine. It's unclear how reliable that tool is. Another concern could be the clearance issue. My preferred setup allows up to 162mm, so if I can't lower the single fan in the middle of the D15, it won't fit.

05-27-2020, 06:09 PM #15The 5800X offers the best value compared to the other four CPUs, though there are already titles that gain from moving to 12 cores. It’s not a huge difference yet—keep an eye on the latest benchmarks.
By the other 3 you mean 5600x 5900x and 5950x? the latter is out of my financial reach. So from 5600x and 5900x I would opt for the 5900x though it's almost double the price of 5600x. I was thinking of buying on launch, I know it's like buying a cat in the sack but the risk of the stock being depleted fairly fast, and the price being inflated by the shops, makes me consider going in blind. I know I might regret it
The supply looks fine; I’m open to pre-ordering this model once benchmarks arrive. It’s a mature technology—just ensure you choose a motherboard with recent BIOS updates from a retailer that supports returns. Regarding new releases, Zen 3 carries minimal risk.
It's not just about price per core. It's about how well each unit performs for the dollar spent. We can only be certain once benchmarks are available. From what I see, a new gaming CPU at $300 with the 5600X is emerging as a strong contender. The other three Zen3 chips will likely only gain a bit more speed thanks to their slightly higher clock speeds. In most games, extra cores won't make much difference. I have a dormant D15 on the shelf, so I checked its performance. With the fan positioned low, the cooler reaches 166mm in height. You can also consider the Dark Rock 4 non pro—it's only 5-10% slower than the Pro model, making it still a solid choice. I previously ran an overclocked 8600K to 5GHz on a Dark Rock 4 non Pro, and it worked perfectly.
It's helpful knowing about non-Pro options when benchmarks aren't available. I'll look into alternatives like Dark Rock 4, Arctic 34, or a smaller Noctua model. I reached out to Noctua to check compatibility with my motherboard, since MSI B550 models aren't listed there. I'll see what they recommend fitting.
