    For anyone wondering, Thermalright PS120(SE) supports ram up to 42mm in height before you need to lift up the fan nearest to the ram to make room

    @NGreedia Před 4 měsíci +3

    I have an ak400 and as500 plus and both are performing well and look great too. I have a preference for single tower coolers for full ram clearance. Assassin Spirit evo, freezer 36 are great too. Fuma 3 is favourite dual tower cooler as it’s offset to allow access to ram without having to remove or raise the front fan

    • @bodasactra
      @bodasactra Před 2 měsíci +1

      I always put the front fan on the rear fin stack for RGB RAM clearance using Thermalright twin towers. It looks great with the RGB RAM reflecting off the fins and performs great compared to the higher end coolers. If Thermalright keeps up this incredible level of value, performance, and variety, the bigger name brands will have no choice but to lower prices.

      @@Elvyne Get the Phantom Spirit SE if you can, the reviews on are spectacular. Check out Hardware Canucks reviews, they are very comprehensive in testing. They called the PS the best air cooler they ever tested. As I write this my 5600X3D is at 28c and it drops to 26c idle, its almost at room ambient. This is with the front fan moved to the rear so my RAM RGB is totally clear and obviously the performance is not impacted. In fact it's about 2c better on the rear. PA is almost as good per HC test only1-3c difference with no impact on CPU performance, a solid alternative. Good luck

    Love this video, and just in time for me as I'm in the market for a new computer! I kind of disliked how a lot of people go for the same ol' noctua coolers every time and wanted to know what else was out there. This DeepCool brand seems to fit what I want - and I love the Assassin 4S in how it's not as wide as 2-fan designs or thicker 1-fan designs, despite being 2-tower
    It'd be cool to see a side-by-side size comparison/clearance comparison of some of the popular choices like that, since some of these things get REALLY bulky!

      ​@@DannysTechChannel Here's another weird thing I ran across.. I was looking at the DeepCool brand and saw their CH780 Case.
      There is some really unusual discrepancies with it, though - There are hardly any reviews, and they seem to all be using an older version of the case with an uglier front panel seam/beam. There are some other discrepancies with it when searching that have left me very confused, like the official page showing more fans than it has in the Specifications tab.
      I don't know who, but somebody needs to get to the bottom of this case!

    From your original video on the Freezer 36, I got it when I upgraded my CPU to the 5700X3D. It's a great quiet cooler that really keeps the CPU frosty. I don't think I broke 63C in temps and that was during benchmarking. During gaming, temps stay between 48-51C.

      I feel your pain. I got lucky or unlucky depending on how ya look at it. Bought both the AK620 digital and a Assissan 4 right befor all that came out about DeelCool. Only reason i got them was my AIO took a crap and after 3 different brand of AIO desided to just go back to air. From what ive seen and personal exp when it comes to air and AIO most good air coolers work just as well with less hassel. Still s shame was really looking towards seeing the new Assissan 4 digatel they came out with this year.

The g.skill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5-6000 CL30 will require adjusting the fan position up a bit because of those stupid little plastic fins they like to put on top of the RAM, maybe half an inch to an inch tops?

Pure Loop 2 FX 240mm AIO pump died twice. Avoid this AIO if you ever think about buying it. First pump died after 7 days, and replacement unit's pump died after 19 days. Proves to me that BQ makes crappy AIOs. Reviews say the same, same issue.
