Remember the days when the CM Hyper 212 was the go to budget cooler? Seeing them at the bottom of this list, when they come in more expensive then a lot of the coolers shown here is really telling. Cooler Master hasn't done anything really unique with the design for so long and now they've been surpassed. Hopefully this gets them working on the line of Hyper 212 coolers to get more performance out of them because the only time I ever pick them up nowadays is when they go on sale for $20. Any other time I go with the other alternatives for $20-30 since $40 standard pricing for the Cooler Master brand name is NOT worth it.

To be fair to CM, the RGB version has a higher RPM fan which helps it perform better than the version here which uses a lower RPM fan. I'm not sure if that brings it in line with the rest here or not though.

I'd bet that a number of these other brands are also manufactured by Cooler Master since they're huge in the manufacturing side of things. They certainly have the capability to do better, but when the tooling is paid for and they keep selling there's not much of a need to improve.

I do agree with the other comments about the 212 being a relic and not improving, but personally having had one in push, pull, it was still pretty good especially since we can't find many of the others here in South Africa. But that aside, I'm glad you made this. The Noctua is a bit above the pack, but when you're considering that people running 150w CPU's are probably paying a fair amount for them, I think it's valid to say they won't use a sub 50$ cooler on them. This is the reason I found LTT's video on the Noctua very shilly. You need comparisons when releasing new products, comparing it to those from the same manufacturer won't get you anything more than, more money more good. Keep up the great work!

While I'm a Noctua guy and totally admit to being biased when it comes to air cooling this is a great review as I'm often helping people put together systems who think Noctua prices are way too high. Sad to see the hyper 212 rank so low, I remember when it was the king of budget cooling and I installed quite a few of the initial version in quite a few systems. I know it would be a huge pain to do but I'd love to see how all these coolers do with better fans i.e. if some of the included fans are the limiting factor and not the cooler itself (which in the past has usually been the case).

If this is ever revisited, it would be awesome to include the various stock coolers as a comparison point. The main thing with budget coolers is that the performance needs to be proven to be substantially greater than the stock coolers to convince me to spend my $30 for example. The other thing that I think can be explained better is the noise output - you provide decibels as a measurement, but it is real hard convert that to real world experiences. Decibels being on a logarithmic scale, I think it may be better to provide a perceived loudness for us (Tech Jesus does a good job at this, where his comparisons may include something like "3dba is where things are noticeably louder" or "X vs Y is twice as loud," or "multiple times as loud in acoustic perception". Love the good work though, doing this many tests is definitely tedious!

There's one thing many people don't know about fans! Almost all fans have a motor sound that comes from the control electronics inside the fan. The speed regulator circuit inside many fans creates a special frequency. NOCTUA fans do not have this problem. They have a specially made control circuit that does not create this problem. As soon as you cut the power to the fan, this sound disappears immediately. Many fans have problems with this and therefore you almost always get a special fan sound inside a computer case. PWM is pulse width modulation and changing the frequency to achieve higher and lower volts. This creates little heat but creates flickering that can be seen in some LEDs. light or beep sound in battery screwdrivers. Ordinary linear regulators that do not have this problem get very hot, which makes them impractical to use. I have replaced all fans with NOCTUA fans and you can hear the difference. Rhen there are also many cheap fans that are not balanced correctly and they can vibrate.

That sucks you’re missing the best 2 budget coolers.. :/ Reeven Justice @ $35 USD and Thermalright Peerless Assasin $41.. Pretty sure, they’ll both smoke everything here. Another worthy mention, Gelid Phantom $36 USD.

A big oversight here is that you've compared all these BUDGET coolers with aftermarket thermal paste instead of whatever is included in the box. People on a tight budget are not going to buy extra paste, they want to have a good quality paste included. With that in mind, did the ID Cooling SE-224-XT really win? The included paste is the ID-TG25 which I've only read bad things about whereas the Arctic Freezer 34 Esports comes with Arctic's MX-4 paste which we all know is high quality. Another thing, the Arctic Freezer 34 Esports comes with a 10 year warranty as opposed to ID Cooling's 2 year warranty. These are things you need to be taking into consideration when making recommendations.

Please make a video like this for budget low profile coolers. The popular low profile coolers are all expensive, and we really need to know where our money is best spent.

Came back to this video to leave a comment. I wanted the Arctic Freezer 34 eSports but it didn't make sense in terms of price compared to the ID Cooling SE224XT Black V2 (could find the Basic version). The Freezer 34 eSports was ~$47.68 vs the SE224XT Black V2 was ~$22.51, that makes the Freezer 34 a bit over 2x the price of the SE224XT for not too far off performance wise. So far in my initial testing it made a 20C drop on my R5 2500 when comparing it to the Wraith Stealth it came with at 100% fan speed. So its pretty good. Fan noise wasn't bad but it might have a different fan from the SE224XT Basic version since it just tops out at 1950rpm and at that speed it was just a bit louder than my Arctic P12 fans at 1400rpm. Also it has a pretty shiny base plate like mentioned in the video which was neat to see is true. I checked some of the other coolers mentioned in this video like the Pure Rock Slim 2 (~$88), Snowman MT-6S (~$34) but they were all more expensive than the SE224XT I got. Also checked the Scythe coolers particularly the Fuma 2 that Gamers Nexus reviewed but its stupidly expensive (~$100), the prices of Scythe products in my country are stupidly close to Noctua and if I was at that price range I would go Noctua honestly. Got the SE22XT Black V2 as it was the best value for the performance it had.

@@kaigrett5354 Did you try it with the stock fans by any chance? I've always wondered how much better the cooling gets if the fans are replaced on cheaper coolers.

@@AxR558 I first used it with the Stock fans. The thermal performance was great but they were a bit too loud for my taste (I optimised my pc for maximum silence) The arctic P12 fans reduced the noise to inaudible levels. But if you do not care that much about noise, the stock fans will be fine.
