Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4 Premium-Grade 140mm Dual Tower CPU Cooler for AMD AM4, apparently

If you have the extra money get a Noctua. They make different version depending on how much space you have. Very high-quality parts. The mounting system is very nice and they will provide new hardware for new mounting designs when they come out.

Here are a few of their popular ones. They make more so check out their website.

Here's the link to the AM4 version(from Amazon UK)

Assuming you are on a budget, Cryorig H7. Never mounted it on an AM4, but it says it comes with the kit now.

If you have more dollarydoos, then NH-D15 AM4
https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-D15-SE-AM4-Premium-Grade-Cooler/dp/B01NC06ZYT?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1

I'd say it all depends on your budget and how much extra work you're willing to do. Air coolers require a lot less maintenance and have fewer points of failure, so can be seen as a bit safer. The Dark Rock 4 is a good one, although if you're up in that price range I'd recommend anything from Noctua. Their stuff is bulletproof, the build quality is incredible. The NH-D14 is available for the same price as the Dark Rock 4 (the NH-D15 replaced it at a slightly higher cost, I'd go for that if you want the best of the best) and I think would be your best bet for air cooling.

However if you're really going after overclocking it as far as possible and you want to have more headroom, then out of what you recommended I'd say to go for the H115i if you're good with paying for it.

it should come with it. There is even a special AM4 edition

Its $5 more than the non special edition but it ensures that you get the bracket no matter what.

They already have an AM4 edition of the NH-D15 on amazon. I bought it and got it in the mail today.

Check the QVL list for the motherboard, buy that. It's the safest bet, especially since the Taichi is a little finicky with RAM OC in my experience, and I believe Buildzoid has mentioned that as well.

On the other hand... my RAM isn't on the QVL list itself, and but is Samsung B-Die and works at 3200CL14 which is what it's rated at... very similar model # to what you have picked out from G.Skill. Just more aggressive timings (which isn't a huge deal at the price disparity)

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232205

For cooling an 1800X if you want to OC, I might recommend an even beefier cooler from Noctua honestly. At 4.0ghz with common voltages you put off a lot of heat.

https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-D15-SE-AM4-Premium-Grade-Cooler/dp/B01NC06ZYT

Assuming your case can handle the airflow. My original Phanteks P400S was NOT up to the task of removing the heat, even with 2x 140mm intakes fans and 1x 120mm outlet + 1x 140mm overhead outlet.

I'm guessing I can save money with this CPU Cooler https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NC06ZYT/ref=ox_sc_act_title_8?smid=A1Z5H6ZGWCMTNX&psc=1

Strange, took this screenshot no more than half an hour ago: https://imgur.com/gallery/XKYra

Edit: Here's the link, shows to be restocking on August 28th, you may be seeing a non AM4 version of the NH-D15.

I just got my Noctua NH-D15-SE-AM4 through this morning. Much bigger cooler than I was expecting I was pleasantly surprised.

I'm having a similar issue: max freq for the best core of my 3600x is only 4.325Mhz and all other cores are at 4.250Mhz max which is lower than the 4.400Mhz advertised. I tried to activate PBO but it didn't change anything.
Also worth noticing, the Vcore is around 1.437 which seems pretty high. Far more concerning, even with a great case (Silverstone RL06 pro, recommended by Gamers Nexus) and a Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4 (premium cooler) CPU temperature can reach 55°C (minimum 35°C and ambient temp only 21°C) with just chrome and razer opened and nothing else. When stressing the CPU it stays constant at 70°C.
I hope there will be BIOS updates and AMD chipset updates because right now my conclusion is that this CPU runs hot and can't be overclocked because it has already been factory OC to extreme levels by AMD. I already regret buying a 3600x for sure, I should have bought a 3600 instead.
I wonder if these issues are due to the shit VRMs of my motherboard (msi x570).

Get one of these if you are sensitive to noise and want to reach higher clocks. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NC06ZYT/

If you're already spending 80$ or more for a Corsair AIO maybe check out the Noctua NH-D15 instead, it provides as good if not better cooling as a 120mm AIO,

AIOs have a point of failure of the pump itself, the radiators can be a pain to clean depending on how close the find are, and also water cooling saturates the heat into water making it come to an equilibrium and also once you stop whatever intense workload you just did, the water will still take some odd minutes to cool back down.

With a traditional dual tower heatsink the point of failure is fans, but you can see if they stop spinning and know something is wrong, a waterblock pump? Only if it's loud and stops being loud, or if you see your temps increasing really fast. With heatsinks the fin stacks do get hot, but they are dissipating the heat rather than just soaking it.

Edits: Right two more things, 1. More surface area of a dual tower than on a single 120mm rad, and 2. I forgot to link to the NH-D15 that works with AM4 (oh and Noctua has one of the easiest mounting systems ever).

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NC06ZYT/

A liquid CPU cooler seems like overkill for a Ryzen.

A NH-D15 at 90$ would cool almost as well at a much lower price and is quieter.

Noctua makes a few specific coolers for AM4 boards..

this
that

The 1700 is probably overkill for you, so the 1600 is an option. Also, unless you're planning on overclocking to 3.9ghz+, the stock cooler should be fine on the 1600 (not x series).

Generally, liquid cooling is better. However, Noctua’s high end air coolers would suffice (I.e., Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4 Premium-Grade 140mm Dual Tower CPU Cooler for AMD AM4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NC06ZYT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_.dSNBbQKMF50C )

I was thinking this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01NC06ZYT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_FwASybYBMFPDA

>Noctua NH-D15 SE AM4

Great Choice. But hard to justify the $90.

Would be interested in developing a performance cost model to figure out how much cooling solution brings how much value over life time.

If you want the current hardware you've selected now, what I would do if i wanted to save some money is get a msi b450 tomohawk it doesn't have Asus aura but does have msi mystic light for rgb control. You could also go with an air cooler like Noctua NH-D15 and a cheaper case like the Nzxt H500 but other then that I don't seem much else to save you money on.

Oh nice! I'll look into that, thanks!

EDIT: I actually found this one for AM4 boards with the same price as the non-AM4 variant.

Considering buying this cooler

Just want to confirm if I ever want to use this in an Intel system I can just buy the NM i115x Mounting-Kit for hassle free installation correct?

Should I pull the trigger or do you think this will go on sale on boxing day?

Just buy the AM4 version of the NDH 15?

Not a fan (see what i did there) of the color scheme but to each there own.

Personally I'm just waiting on an X370 motherboard and R7 1800X CPU. Currently have a RX480 (provided in list anyway) as a tie over until Vega. Also preordered the AM4 mounting kit for the NH-D15. Alternatively, you can preorder the special edition AM4 model, but I prefer the versatility of all sockets. The 1300w PSU is way overkill, but I wanted to leave myself the possiblity of a second vega years down the line to scale perf when mgpu and DX12 become more mainstream. I was also creating the possibility of water cooling. Either way, its got a 10yr warranty so should be good all the way until the tech doesn't matter anymore. Bought these all over the last week or so :)

You can get a Noctua Air Cooler for a bit less money. Should provide the same cooling. I think LTT did a video on that. But i'd stick with the AIO, just because it makes the build more sexy. PC building more than just the best-bang-for-the-buck. Just my two cents though

Nem az Asus itt a ludas hanem a noctua. Ez a hűtőt régen árulták am4-nélkül mikor még ugye nem jelent meg és azért. Vagy külön megveszed az átalakítót vagy az am4-es verziót veszed meg, magyarországon nem találtam.

https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-D15-SE-AM4-Premium-Grade-Cooler/dp/B01NC06ZYT

I honestly wouldn't bother with water cooling. The Noctua NH-D15 is as good as any AIO, non-AIO water cooling is very expensive and does require maintenance, so unless you're planning on cranking the voltage and the clocks of your CPU, with a motherboard with a VRM solution that can keep up, I think water cooling isn't worth it.

Slap those noctuas on this, https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16835181103?ignorebbr=true&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle-Mobile&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-Mobile-_-Liquid+%2f+Water+Cooling-_-Corsair-_-35181103&gclid=CjwKCAiAo9_QBRACEiwASknDwYdIWQipWiZwDIwdI0qUxIcZUecIwbnbFio_o6xQ2kSjITy682_pzBoCu_QQAvD_BwE H100iv2 aio for $89. I own it, its a beast. But if you wanna stick with air, the nhd15 is ginna be your best bet Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4 Premium-Grade 140mm Dual Tower CPU Cooler for AMD AM4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NC06ZYT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_TrhgAb3TN57P0

Interesting, it does say it's compatible on the Amazon page as well. Not sure why they have a dedicated AM4 version then

Looks like it's just a special edition?

This cooler is not a liquid cooler, but it is basically the BEST cpu fan on the market. If you really really wanna do liquid cooling, and if you feel ok with replacing the coolant in a while then IMO go with this
