While being a MUCH smaller frame, the NH-U12A got the same temperature as the much bigger NH-D15. A dream for anyone who doesnt want to watercool and still wants the build to look nice. And yes.

I really do appreciate all the hard work and testing you do on this channel when it comes to pc case and cooler reviews my guy. I was wondering which cooler would be great to cool the 7600x. Fantastic job and can't wait to see your next video.

[@ionamygdalon2263]

Very good quality content on this channel! I would like to ask whether ECO Mode on the 7600X would make it possible to use coolers that did not make it in this test.

[@jerrygenser]

IF you use eco mode, you can use a wraith fine and only lose 5% multicore performance and no performance loss for single threaded workloads

[@nmathew01]

Okay, a ton of great work, but I question your original premise. It seems that the chips are designed to pull until you either hit 95C, or you hit whatever max wattage that chip design is specified for. It's either or. You are demanding that one always be at the wattage and not the thermal limit. I don't know how your can back that claim as it seems to directly contradict AMD's statements. I seriously doubt AMD assumed everyone would buy a water cooler or a top end air cooler. The chips run at the max frequency they can while staying at 95. Given how juiced the voltage/frequency curves for these chips are, I'd like to see numbers for how throttled the chip is with your "failing" coolers. I bet that is it is slight. I would also love to see any work with ECO mode or using a negative PBO curve. I suspect you could get much further down your cooler chart while sacrificing almost no MHz.

[@niels6411]

I would have liked to see MSRP prices of the coolers in the graph. Have you tried the deepcool AG620? Its missing from the list and it looks like a great budget cooler. If you had to guess, which cooler around $50 is the best option? Also would like to say that this is the most informative and great video on ryzen 7600x coolers!

[@STSYT]

Thanks! Means a lot For the deepcool cooler, or any other deepcool, no, not yet, hopefully soon. For sub 50? Xilence M705D, definitely. As for the msrp question, I’m not doing it because companies like to change msrp at random moments, making me a) research everything every time I make a video, and b) msrp doesn’t mean anything once you leave the country of production. It’s a good indication, but for example Noctua / be quiet! Stuff is a lot less expensive in EU than us. So if I write EU Noctua msrp in $, and Lian Li MSRP in $, these numbers won’t make sense for anybody

I built a new system with this chip, and being so used to budget CPUs for so long, seeing it hit the so-called devil's number, 95C, I was shocked. I thought I was scammed lol. Turns out it's normal, but it still doesn't feel right to let it hit that number.

[@moevor]

Really interesting test! Thanks. Would be interested in whether there's actually any thermal throttling happening at above 90c, perhaps through monitoring clock speeds. There's also the fact that these CPUs only go to 95 at full load to sustain clock speeds. What is the consideration for other use cases or using a 76W PPT power limit

Do not use air tower coolers. For me, it heated above 97 C and the computer turned off by itself. This processor only works with a liquid cooling system. Deepcool ls520 - gives temperature 88 С. Moreover, the temperature rises slowly with time. Not sure about the 3 hour load.

[@STSYT]

We noticed the same behavior a couple of moments. But it's not about Air-Coolers in general. If the one you're using can't handle the CPU even after automatic down-clocking, then yes it will shut down. But take something like an NH-D15 and it will work. Not like cool or quiet, but it will work

Temperature isn't wattage. A candle's flame is on avg 1000 C and the candle delivers about 80 W over the duration the candle burns. Even with the Wraith Spire wouldn't the power management system just throttle the CPU to keep the Tjmax @ 95C. The temperature alone is meaningless unless you specify the wattage the CPU is using for each cooler of a specific workload. You could run the 7600X @ 65W, or really 88W. The gaming performance should be roughly the same and you could use a cheap Spire or Prism.

[@-Ambos-]

Great video again! I am not really sure what to think ybout those new CPUs. I like PCs to operate without being to noisy. Seems to be hard to get with those new Ryzens. Also this changes my theory of air coolers being the better option for silent PCs. A noctua nh-d15 was just enough cooling performance to run a silent PC way beyond the maximum rpm. So compared to an AIO you had silent (air cooler) vs silent + pump noise (AIO). Makes air cooling the winner. Now the nh-d15 has to spin the hell out itself. This changes the game.
