Gigabyte aorus cooler
I’m curious if anyone has tried the CPU air cooler you mentioned: Gigabyte GP-ATC700 AORUS. I’m currently using a stock Wraith cooler on my R7 1700 at 3.6GHz, with idle temps between 45-53 and full load around 74-75, reaching 84 during streaming. I prefer keeping temperatures under 80. My question is whether this model is worth the investment compared to water cooling. I’d rather avoid a water cooler and the extra cost of an AM4 bracket. If it isn’t the top choice, could you suggest alternatives? Also, even though I want an air cooler, I’ll opt for water if it’s more efficient. Thanks.
The idle seems quite high. I’d consider a more affordable 240 AIO water cooler from brands like ID Cooling, NZXT, Corsair, Coolermaster, or Deepcool. They usually offer solid performance at a lower price. The setup process is also straightforward. I’m in agreement with Grandmaster about the Gigabyte Aorus cooler. My recommendation is an AIO—even 120/140mm would be better and could be reused later for upgrades. It might also aid overclocking and potentially boost performance, though there are excellent air coolers available, particularly the Noctua line.
