Best CPU Air Cooler Upgrade! ID Cooling SE-214-XT | Review

[@TheForce_Productions]

ID-Cooling is the best prize to perormance in the market, and if you add it a second fan for push-pull mode it's glorious!

[@draxrdax7321]

They recently released an upgraded dual fan version of this cooler, called "ID Cooling SE-214-XT D" that has two 12mm fans attached to it in a push-pull configuration, that also upgraded its power dissipation to 200W. Just ordered it yesterday for like 16 Euros (it was discounted too) for my R5 5600X. It's a no brainer. (no RGB though, it's just black)

[@roythunderplump]

Had the similar ID-COOLING SE-224-XT for over a year now. Still happy with it. Such an improvement over included Wraith Stealth Cooler. Runs cooler and quieter with a bit of tinkering with the fan curve.

[@berkmanx2752]

Hello how did you curve fan

[@tonyo4437]

Great option for low-budget users. I like that they give you extra clips for a push-pull config.

[@DannysTechChannel]

Agree. I was very impressed with this thing. I honestly didn’t expect much for the price.

[@jeffferguson378]

Thanks for the recommendation, my 5600 temps dropped 20 degrees with the ID cooler over the stock one!

[@DannysTechChannel]

Very nice! Thanks for sharing your experience

[@jamesmdean1987]

When I’m building systems this will now be my go to air cooler. I bought one to hold me over while my AIO is being RMA’ed and I was pleasantly surprised by the performance. I have the non RGB version

[@DannysTechChannel]

Phanteks just came out with 2 new air coolers to compete with this that come in at $20 and $25. I might have to get another one of these to test against em

[@jamesmdean1987]

@@DannysTechChannel I paid $17.99 for my cooler fully expecting to have to go into my bios and disable all the AMD PBO and such for my 5600x. That was not the case. With fan at 50 percent all the time, and under full load with gaming, it doesn't break 70 degrees, and thats using the included thermal compound. NZXT is replacing my fault AIO and I am grateful for that, but man, this cooler is absolutely insane value. Thanks for the review. I've subbed!

[@Joerex916]

​@@jamesmdean1987Hi, just curious. The red things, did you put them with the grey dot pointing up or down? Installed mine today with a 5600 and it reaches 90c on cp2077 and 70 on every other game :(

[@patriktoth6258]

I'm using the single fan version. My Ryzen 7 2700X's lowest temp was 29.5 idle in the Ryzen Master software 😂 Before that with its stock cooler (Prism) never went below 55. Under stress test i managed to get 66celsius at max. My lil bro got a cooler which costs 3x more,but the difference is just the quality of the materials

[@vader8263]

Wow incredible performance, just bought one black edition for my i5 :)

[@SPOON.888]

Very good cooler! 38 (c) temp paired with r5 5600x while browsing/working only. Heavy gaming is around 65-67(c).

[@Joerex916]

Just curious, how did you put the red things? I mean, they have a tiny dot on each one, are they up or down? Put mine just today with a ryzen 5 5600 and it's 90c on cyberpunk and 70c on every other game :|

[@tomaslovey132]

One of the best reviews i've seen! Thanks

[@justblogsmart]

Best review! Noise test was I was looking at !!

[@wagnonforcolorado]

I found one of these in the Amazon Warehouse at a couple of bucks off the already low regular price. Installation was straightforward, and cooling on my 11400f is seems to work pretty well. Even under load, RPM and noise remain very low.

[@DannysTechChannel]

Nice. Thanks for sharing. I only have a limited amount of CPUs I can try this out on. So it’s nice to hear other experiences with it!

[@wagnonforcolorado]

@@DannysTechChannel , thanks for running the channel, and keeping us up to speed on value hardware. This review is a great example of how a $20 purchase can result in big improvements in cooling. Not everyone needs a $200 AIO!

[@RayRiv73]

Thinking about getting this for my 11400f also...my current gaming temps are from 69-77c would it drop the temps lower with this cooler?

[@DannysTechChannel]

Yes it would! Plus, it looks great too.

[@RayRiv73]

@DannysTechChannel I have a nvme with a 10mm heatsink that sits between the cpu and the gpu....do you think this cooler sits high enough to clear it?

[@LKZ025]

Definitely getting this cooler now, thanks!

[@DannysTechChannel]

Anytime! Glad to help

[@ericfrankle6689]

I have used them. They work great!

[@MrSamadolfo]

Thanks for the review 🙂

[@topdamagewizard]

This is crazy. I'm building media center / retro and casual gaming pc to hook to a cheap Tv in my bedroom. But can become the main PC in an emergency. Saw this on Pc Part Picker and thought. "no way". but here we are. Ordered one for 15 dollars on amazon.

[@DannysTechChannel]

Totally worth it

[@OfficialHurtandPain]

thank you!

[@liberty_t4boo]

And I'm waiting for my se-214-xt Haff Edition with two fans

[@enewriscampusano611]

Thank you very much your review helped me a lot very good performance for only 20 dollars

[@DannysTechChannel]

You bet it is! I want to do more with this and see what it can handle for ONLY $20

[@maybacher]

You should test the Darkrock PX4. It's about the same price point.

[@DannysTechChannel]

Thanks for the tip! I love checking out CPU tower coolers. I’m actually working on a best list video right now for these

[@ericgrimshaw6281]

Can you face the fan the other direction, towards the back of the case?

[@attilaszamosfalvi5749]

This is an incredible little cooler for the price. I have it paired with an i7-11700F. The highest cpu temp I've seen so far both while gaming or doing some bachmarks was 63° Celsius. Yep, as a 65W TDP non-overclockable cpu it's tehnically not that hard to cool down, but I'm still satisfied with the performance of the SE-214-XT as I've came across with far worse results with certain other cheap coolers, not to mention that stock crap that comes in the box from Intel...

[@mynameisciko4885]

How ur i7 11700 is cold mine my ryzen 5 3600x run about 68°c with stock speed paired with this cooler and a kingpin kpx thermal paste

[@attilaszamosfalvi5749]

The 3600X is a 95W TDP cpu, that's a significant difference if we compare temperatures with the same cooling. These entry-level to lower mid-range coolers are most effective with 65W cpus, but that 68°C you have is still an ok temp under load.

[@terrapinflyer273]

Think you could do a review on the new ID-COOLING A410 air cooler? Curious if it compares to the Vetroo V5 everyone is talking about. There are a few reviews on the (A640?) from the same release line, but no one's covered the A410 yet. I like that it's smaller and probably more functional for entry level or lower end enthusiasts. Has a nice cover too with the chrome splash on top.

[@vicboss1241]

I have the Wraith Prism, I know its not the best, but i really love how it looks, and that the RGB fan its on top and not aside, cause my Chase has cristal

[@xFlowRS]

Add Arctic P12 to it (or 2x P12 Silent) and it will decimate that Deepcool cooler... I will order one just for fun, 'cause I got two NF-A12 Chromax fans, just to see how far can I push it

[@abunk8691]

I got an SE 224XT Black V2 myself and now use P12 fans on it and yep performance is even better compared to the included fan from ID Cooling

[@2pacthetupac]

i bought this exact one, it even said argb. When I saw the fan it only had the power connector and no rgb cable?

[@sharptable]

Been thinking to get this for my i5 13400f

[@DannysTechChannel]

If you’re thinking of this, consider the Arctic Freezer 36. Check out the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqKQm3uFYrdqn80

Best unbox and review

[@fantas_3461]

What budget cooler would you recommend for an intel i7 12700 Kf ? I don't know it this would be enough.

Is it possible to change the color of the fan using the motherboard software? Asus

[@DannysTechChannel]

Yes it is

[@Clydeh9]

How is the performance for i7 12700kf?

[@emilioooo9678]

How many c° does it reduces? I have a 5700g and it gets to 80°

[@Ancient_West]

Seriously thought you were Manu Ginobili at first.

[@MikoDnst]

Will it be good for a Ryzen 7 5700X with undervolt and reasonable overclocking (without pushing limits of the silicon)? People on Reddit say that both 5700X and your 5700G aren't very hot, so ID-Cooling 214 and 224 will suffice, what can you say about it?

[@DannysTechChannel]

Yes this can handle a 5700x. Even at stock settings.

[@MikoDnst]

@@DannysTechChannel Thanks!

[@Our_Quran]

i have a ryzen 9 5900x. should i go for this or go for something like a peerless asassain 120?

[@DannysTechChannel]

Doubt it. I’m gonna revisit this with higher power CPUs to see how it does

[@yulianamartinez1242]

which is better for Ryzen 5 5600g? this one or Cooler Master Hyper 212 argb?

[@DannysTechChannel]

Both of those coolers would work great for the 5600G. It’s really all comes down to the look and the price you find them at. But performance wise, both are plenty.

[@yulianamartinez1242]

What about the TDP? is that 5700g overclocked? Or limited? Or its stock? . We dont know so its useless review.

If I did any overclocking other undervolting, I would have explained that in the video. I try to keep everything as simple as possible since most users just pop their PC together and boot everything up. It’s all out-of-box settings
