Is it beneficial to upgrade from the 212 Evo to the Deepcool Assassin 2 for your overclocked Ryzen 1600? Your CPU is currently running at 4.0 GHz with 1.384 volts. When it was cooler, it would reach around 68°C during stress tests. Now it hits 75°C+ during gaming sessions, and at idle it's about 40°C. You recently added a second fan for the 212 Evo, but haven't installed it yet. AIO coolers are leaking a bit, so I've been considering larger air coolers. The big Noctua coolers are better, but for $59 the Deepcool Assassin 2 offers great value. I'm seeking your opinion to help decide.
Of course, Deepcool cooler seems larger and better, though it doesn't justify the cost. Also, 75°C is perfectly okay and 85°C is fine for continuous use; just don't worry if temperatures exceed 85°C.
