Carson Butler
Noctua pays their shills better, BeQuiet gives free shit to YouTube reviewers Scythe hasn't paid their shills in quite a while
Samuel Phillips
Yeah no AMDrone will ever tell you that Ryzen CPUs are furnaces that need huge ass cooler, there is a reason AMD uses a bigger cooler than Intel, and even then Stock cooler can't even cool that burning volcano.
Sebastian Roberts
>there is a reason AMD uses a bigger cooler than Intel Because the stock intel cooler is literally useless (for most people)
Leo Wright
I bought a used cryorig r1 ultimate for 48 bucks used
You pay a premium for the Noctua and it's better but hard to justify the cost increase, anyway those huge heatsinks suck, memory compatibility is a bitch.
I love how amd is cold and completely shitty due to low clocks and shitty latency
Julian Wood
These are load temps?
Owen Lopez
Most CPUs can take 1.4 volts indefinitely, or at least for many years. 1.45 is starting to push longevity of the chip. 1.5 is high risk LN cooled 1 minute bench run tier.
Caleb Sanders
I will say that installing this thing wasn't that much fun. The middle fan especially was a searing pain in my assholes and I realize that I will have to take it off if I want to use 4 DIMMs and even then I'll have to make sure it's low profile.
Juan Nguyen
>memory compatibility is a bitch. This wouldn't be an issue if DIMM makers quit being retarded and just released standard height RAM There is not a single reason for all the retarded heat spreader designs you see in the market, even 3200mhz kits shouldn't even need any heatspreader but nope they add the shit anyway and then glue it so well that you risk ripping off ICs if you want to remove it
Scythe is underrated I give you that, not sure about Thermalright though.
Alexander Cox
only a light load of firefox I think I hit about 75 on prime 95
Gavin Cook
Never heard of Thermalright, but I am impressed by this cooler. Can't say it's the prettiest one on the market or that it was the easiest to install, but its performance is excellent, even more so when you consider the price of this thing. I originally wanted to water-cool my PC but several youtube vids convinced me to get this thing. It does look a tad unbalanced having a massive hunk of metal hanging over my GPU but when it keeps the chip that cool for $43 I'll accept it.
Lmao those temps are gonna fry the fuck out of your silicone and you'll keep having to up voltage to keep it stable. My 2700x runs stock 4ghz boost max 65 degrees flat out. Enjoy your 5% faster benchmarks for double the power use required to keep it at those clocks wow a whole 200mz!? What is this 2000?
Blake Gutierrez
>65w cpu >put a fuck huge massive 2 (3) fan cooler on it >overclock it to 100 mhz above stock boost speed >still hits 73C lolamd
Landon Wright
>Lmao those temps are gonna fry the fuck out of your silicone no offense here, but are you Gay? 73C and 49C aren't anywhere near damaging the silicone. The chips don't even throttle themselves until 99C. >he doesn't understand using boost speed for gaymes and an all-core overclock for getting work done in rendering and editing software
are you a corelet, user? It's if you are, you'll be able to get 8c/16t in a few weeks here for under $200.
Julian Roberts
Noctura dh15 fag here they are expensive for a reason their fans and coolers are the best in the industry and I actually need them because of ausfag summers where it's hot as fuck. Watercooling does fuck all if the ambient air temp is 30-50 degrees months on end And those fans suck ass hence why your temps are so high they move fuck all air w cpu >>put a fuck huge massive 2 (3) fan cooler on it >>overclock it to 100 mhz above stock boost speed >>still hits 73C >lolamd He's fuckwhit the 2700/x is based
Matthew Scott
At those volts it is you fucking moron why do u think overclockers use ln2 pots and industrial chillers? It's too stop the chip degrading at high voltage not just to keep it cool. I bet that isn't even under full workload avx heavy stuff either so rip your CPU when it actually gets stressed >DURR it's fine I like ran p95 for a day Try running it flat out for years. Fair enough if your just gonna drop a zen2+ in there but long term I wouldn't be running it that hot
Angel Johnson
.4v, 4.2 Ghz, 73C under Load max temp lol my AIO doesn't even get to 60C at same config
Gavin Phillips
I know being Australian already gave this away, but you must be gay if you think 73C is too hot for a CPU that is drawing close to 190w at that point. Also, of course it's not as good as the 2700x, but that's why it doesn't cost as much. You can get near it easily, though, for less money, and since the non-X can boost to 4.15 Ghz for games it's a pretty good deal. I paid $100 less than the 2700x price for mine.
Isaiah Moore
I used to have a Xigmatek Thor's hammer with a super quiet scythe fan just running at full speed (basically inaudible though). To this day the best temps I've gotten on air. "Upgraded" it to a DeepCool Assassin II and my temps are a few degrees worse.
Lots of memes and shady reviews in the cooler business OP. I think scythe is underrated.
John Carter
>playing games doesn't get above 60C >meanwhile OP is running all 8 cores at 100% at 4.2Ghz in CPU-Z
Robert Campbell
I honestly don't give a fuck what you do with your hardware.
Lmao if you don't have Ac when the heatwave comes
Jose Williams
All of them provide free products to reviewers. Every single one.
Not sure about getting directly paid, as I haven't been by any cooler manufacturers.
I have always been under the impression that Japanese companies deliver better-engineered products at lower prices.
>cheap cars that run forever >cheap watches that run forever >cheap cameras that work forever >CPU coolers that work forever.
Seems like the Japanese are just good at engineering things.
Kayden Diaz
>Nuclear power plants that work forev- Whoops.
Asher Green
I was about to say this is purely anecdotal, but it actually isn't: yes Scythe has some of the best coolers available. The Fuma Rev. B is the highest performance air cooler I've reviewed to date, and it's only, what, $40?
Scythe's products are insanely good from an absolute performance standpoint and in terms of price. They just do an awful job of marketing in western countries; at ~30k subs I'm the biggest channel the regularly reviews their stuff. They'll get through to the others like GamersNexus occasionally, but not very often (at least from what I've seen).
Caleb Watson
>you'll be able to get 8c/16t in a few weeks here for under $200. wat dat
Matthew Lopez
Supposably the next Ryzen 5 chip gonna into 8c/16t, at approximately $180. We will see soon if that is the case or not. Even still the Ryzen 7 2700 is now going below $200 in some cases, so that leads me to believe that the rumors are true. Wanna post your review?
Side note you can get an 8c/16t processor for under $200 right now, the Ryzen 7 1700 and 1700X have been hovering at or below that mark for a couple weeks. But it's probably worth waiting for Zen2 to come out to see what's what, since those are probably launching in... June? Everyone's been saying June right?
Owen White
>Silicone The level of amdrones
Noah Sullivan
I have a ryzen and he's right. shit is hot. I open fortnite and use it as a heater
Julian Wood
Marketing...
I have a scythe mugen 2, still one of the best cooler out there 10 years later. The value and performance proposition of Scythe is unmatched.
William Wright
Dear god I hope the rumors are true I will buy a 3850X in a heartbest if it really does boost to 5.1Ghz I'm on a haswell i5 and just getting a 2700X would be a hell of an upgrade but I want a real heavy clockspeed upgrade and I don't give a shit about no sweet spot bull I was even looking at a 9900k when it was out but I waited and I'm kinda glad I did as the recent Intel fuck ups where disabling HT is a suggested thing to do is really leaving a sour taste in my mouth
Ayden Taylor
I actually watched your review before I bought the Scythe :). Well done, dude.
I think we're getting to the point where you aren't going to need an upgrade for a long ass time unless you really need to edit photo/videos for work. Gaymes can still run pretty well on 5-6 year old (intel) chips and they're mostly dependent on the GPU. I hear the 3850x is gonna be $500+ though, so I hope for that money the clock speeds are significantly better than Zen 1
I have a 1800x running at 1.42v. >tfw can only do 3.9ghz Never buying an X again.
Jose Wright
something gay is going on with Ryzen chips. I have a 2700 that I can get to 4.2Ghz at 1.4v, and it runs fine for 10 minutes on CPU-Z, temperatures level out and everything is ok.
But if I apply ANY overclock Davinci Resolve crashes like 2-3 minutes into the render. Sometimes the PC just freezes, sometimes it goes black and the logo on my GPU starts blinking. I have no idea what the shit is happening here. Running at stock speeds Resolve doesn't crash at all but the smallest overclock makes it shit the bed. The only reason I got this damn chip and the cooler was to render videos faster.
Aaron Campbell
You're cucked for not having the X and pbo.
Carter Morris
nah, it's just that Resolve can't handle the overclocks for some reason. I can overclock and play games with no problem and even stress the CPU 100% with no problem. It just sucks that I bought this equipment to render videos fast as shit and I'm losing about 20-25% performance.
Juan Richardson
You need several different, longer tests to see if your OC is stable, and even then you won't be 100% sure. If the clock speed is fluctuating when it crashes, for example, it could be the voltage's offset. This is why you need thorough tests that simulate different workloads.
Jaxon Long
Encoding is one, if not the most stressful operation you can do on a CPU even if it's not a "hot" stress test where thermals and power usage are pushed to the limit
Luke Powell
>Crashes premiere That's not a shitpost meme Ryzen is seriously unstable when rendering with premiere or Photoshop
Gavin Myers
AIOs are overpriced pieces of crap? WOAH, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
Jackson Evans
I was using Resolve though. Why pay Adobe?
Mason White
thermalright makes the best coolers and spends like no money on marketing. they're the patrician cooler choice.
Matthew Hernandez
They had some exposure some 5 years ago when Silver Arrow was beating the shit outta Noctuas (still does, I suppose). But now they don't bother to even make new revisions of their old coolers, which are still great though. Waiting for AM4 bracket to install this 6 year old boy.
Just looking at their products, you're getting like half the amount of physical metal that is included with a typical Scythe, but they're the same price. How is that patrician?
Nolan Roberts
isnt the wraith able to push ryzen to 4.2ghz also and be more quiet
Eli Price
Based
Adrian Gomez
amd wraith is literally the best cooler
Brayden Barnes
PBO is a retarded meme, my 2600x doesn't go above 4.0ghz with it enabled so I manually OC
Tyler Smith
Damn, I thought the stories of intel shills were exaggerated but here they are, out in the open. You guys really are terrified of the upcoming zen2 release aren't you.
Logan Williams
No one argues that the CoolerMaster fans that come bundled with Ryzen are good fans it's just that Ryzen CPUs are a fucking furnace, which is why they need big ass fans to begin with, unlike Intel. But I got you senpai it's Intel's fault for not making their CPU double as a heater.
Robert Ross
Im using the stock cooler on my 1700 non X.
Since the fucker is vCore walled to 1.34v @ 3.8Ghz (3.9 requires 1.8ishV) its humid as fuck (current temp is 34°c with rain) and room temperature is shy of 31°c) im golden.
I wanted to buy a Dark Rock 3 but im holding out for Zen 2.
the wraith spire that comes with the 2700 non x is a good cooler, but I stopped at 1.25v at 80C with that thing. It's solid for a bundled cooler but it simply isn't enough for a big overclock.
that's not a bad speed though, do you really need more? What are you getting with your own OC?
Isaac Wood
I don't pay Adobe. But I was under the impression Divincj resolve was even more expensive.
Davinci is free. Theres a pro version thats $400 but thats free if you buy a blackmagic camera
Luis Ross
Happy with my r5 2600 @4.2ghz with 1.375v
Adam Phillips
that's a pretty solid result, you must have gotten a decent chip. What do you do with that speed, just gayme?
Adam Bailey
Literally recommend scythe coolers all the time in /pcbg/ Stop pretending we don't.
Adam Ross
>Nuclear power plants Ironically, it was american power units(BWR), lol
Lincoln Perez
>there is a reason AMD uses a bigger cooler than Intel yeah, because Intel has made their heatsinks literally smaller over time despite CPUs still running the same TDP youtube.com/watch?v=hUKQcEak0hg
Jacob Sanders
Good for you user. With XFR and PBO, I won't manually OC ever again. Having ranges instead of just two states of boost is max comfy.
This but with a 2700X, 3.9-4ghz with pbo, 4.3ghz manual OC.
James Scott
Game, video edit, play around vms and render.
Luis Sullivan
whenver i OC my chip my editor (resolve) dies. I have to run stock speeds for it to even work.
John Mitchell
fair enough, I never read those threads cause I'm usually too broke to build a PC.
Henry Morales
>twice the size for the same price I don't know where you live, but in Merkelreich they're priced basically the same. Except with TR purchases you get actually good 140mm fans.
James Hughes
>watercooling doesn't do anything >but this hunk of metal does That's not how any of this works. If you have high ambient temps you would actually benefit from watercooling. Proper watercooling with ample rad space, not some rinkydink CLC.
John Wood
That's what they said at 32nm. I don't think it's true again now that we're at 16nm and lower.
Andrew Nelson
>fans suck they're rated for like 73 cfm, what can a good fan do then?
why does die size affect voltage capacity?
Grayson Garcia
wraith spire? i thought it had the wraith max like the 8350 has
Nathaniel Cook
wraith max is basicly on the same level as a 212 evo with less noise im suprised they bundled it with 8350 and not the 2700
Jayden Morales
nah, only the 2700x got the wraith max. 2700 non x got the wraith spire since that chip is 65w tdp
Blake Wright
Yeah, 8350 got wraith max, However, it seems to me that they simply put a better fan on their old heatsink, which is nevertheless is pretty decent with heatpipes and shit.
Isaiah Young
effect* >die size No, no you retarded retard It's the size of the wires. The wires can't handle higher volts at smaller sizes.
>if you get a heatsink rated for more tdp than what you're generating the fans wont need to move as much air and will slow down if the bios has that one feature that has existed for decades woah
Aaron Cruz
had a scythe samurai back in the day (2010), their fucking slim 120mm ventilator was absolutely whisper quit and the cooler pretty amazing for how small it was.
Andrew Hall
Macho v2 is the best, Gelid got a good one too Darkrock and Noctuas are overpriced memes
Ryzen is pretty powerefficient too, its not intel@5keks
Mason Ross
>say goodbye to your computer in a few months 1.4 is fine for Ryzen if the temps are in check. Voltage requirements depend not only on nm, but also on manufacturing technology. 14nm from Intel can take more voltage than 22nm for example. Also CPUs don't die from borderline voltages all of the sudden. Just degrade a bit, requiring you to increase voltage or decrease frequency to maintain stability
Ayy man the fuck i have exactly the same cooler and cpu. It is a bit loud though, might replace with noctua fans.
David Williams
It's always been retarded to spend more than $40 on a cooler. $20 scythe is enough for most people that don't even push their overclocks but whatever autists gonna drop $120 on some shitty aio always because TUUBESSS
Leo Kelly
Why would you pay 40 bucks for an agreement cooler when you can get one that is just as quiet for under 30. Why even change from stock when it hardly makes a bothersome sound?
No, my 2700X runs at 4.3GHz at 1.45V and it doesn't get over 60C under a all-core, full-core load with an AIO that's barely pushing 800 RPM on the poo fans on it's radiatiators after 2 hours of that said load.
Plus it let me put an actual fan on the VRMs, instead of blocking airflow with a hunk of tower heatsink covering them up.
AIO / water VS heatsink / tower arguments are mostly always retarded, pick the tool for the job.
