As Linus pointed out, it’s strange that Amazon does not recommend their own Amazon Basics CPU cooler.
I think that was the first mistake you made.....
Linus!
🤔
@@-Gadget- ? Goofy ahh comments
I think Amazon makes their recommendations based on the popularity of an item and it’s reviews. Sometimes that not their own product
i think its cuz its using the same cooler from Cooler Master only with slight differences.
Not sure if Dawid was using Amazon US or Canada, but in Canada the last time I checked you couldn't even buy that ancient turd of a CPU cooler. Also, the cooler Dawid bought is actually about the same price as the Amazon junk cooler and much better. Funny enough, the ARGB version of the Peerless Assassin 120 SE is cheaper on Amazon Canada right now than the non-RGB version, but isn't "Amazon's Choice".
*"Amazon's Choice"* is determined by an AI algorithm of everything from number of product returns to number of product interactions (i.e. Q+A, average review length, etc). This is why Amazon's Choice is not always the highest rated item. Amazon isn't trying to find the _best_ performing item in a category, they're trying to find the item most customers will accept and be content with.
this must be snowballing pretty hard
@@herbertwalter8693 Just like yt, if you think of it. Video gains some tractions, people come to watch it, and then you have 10-100 times more views then you expected.
Ironically enough, the Peerless Assassin is actually one of the best air coolers in this price range. Gamers Nexus put it through its paces with their test and it came pretty close to matching the Noctua NH-D15 in terms of cooling performance. I think it might be due to you not having used the second fan as well as using the stock CPU fan curves that caused the excess noise in the system.
Yep, actually one of the best air coolers period. According to GN, Hardware Canucks. And for that price it's a steal :)
Or use a Noctua industrial 3000 RPM fan and call it a day. If you're really feeling frisky use 3 industrial 3000 RPM fans.
A noctua two tower model with one fan in the middle is more silent than the two fan model.
Yeah, I watched the video by Gamers Nexus so I thought the same thing. Until I bought it. I have it paired with a 5800x so I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt when it comes to mediocre thermal performance, but the fans really ain't great. Max fan speed I'm running them at is about 50%. After that, they start to get real noisy and produce a high pitched whistling kind of sound when they're at 70%. Good thing about it has a lot of thermal mass so it gets away with low fan RPM most of the time, and for the price it's still an absolute steal.
@@K1NDR3D blud thinks he's him
Gamers Nexus reviewed the cooler, Steve described it as “Ok”. That is very high praise for him 😂
Oh dayum, that is wild. 😂
"A hemorrhoid on taco night" made me laugh way more than it should have. Love your work Dawid.
Sent the quote to a friend because I was snort-laughing for five minutes straight. His response was, "How do you say that in Norwegian?"
And for the record: 'Lyst som en hemoroide på tacokvelden' is how you say that in Norwegian. I'm proud to say my friend can now say three butt-related phrases in the language now.
hahahahaha
the crucial p3 is actually an amazing choice; 45$ for a 1TB 3500MB/s Drive is incredible. I personally recommend the p3 plus, but you can’t go wrong with either.
The plus version is like $54 I think, not a lot more and It is way faster so maybe that one is a better option
@@Scj10 I agree. It’s about 5 dollars more for the same capacity, but with PCIe 4.0, and reads of up to 5000MB/s. I just didn’t mention it because you really can’t go wrong with either
I got it for slightly more but id still recommend
It’s so cheap for a drive that fast! Storage pricing has gotten so good.
it’s amazing right? I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it go down to 45USD
Fuck yea Saturday morning cartoons for adults 😊
Lol😂
I just love how much sense this makes!
I sure miss Saturday Morning cartoons. I'd watch them until about noon, when they stopped, then go outside, and hang out with my friends until dinner time, lol. I'm pretty sure cable is what killed those. Stoopid cable. LOL.
Excuse me? Did you not see the censorship? This is a family friendly show.
When CPU is weak, AMD GPU are always faster, ie, it has a hardware scheduler with less CPU overhead. This was tested on Hardware Unboxed.
That would make sense lmao, I have a old ass computer and had a AMD gpu (I don’t even remember which one) and I upgraded to a Gtx 1650. Ngl some games run worse
It's definitely strange but I think you're right. My CPU usage is lower or almost the same since changing my 1660 out for a 5700 XT despite the latter being a lot faster.
Did you miss the word "Crap" in the title of the video? This is not a guide. This is not supposed to be rational. This is not recommended.
Take your suggestions somewhere else. This is for maximum dumb.
That and the RTX 3060 was always kind of pants in general. The 66xx XT or its 3060 Ti big bro dumpster it.
This was RTX 3000 era, and HUB found that Nvidia uses a software scheduler that increases load on the CPU, ie, 10-15% more load on a weak CPU kills frames because it's closer to it's max at all times.
They showed a RTX 3090 slower than an average Radeon GPU, but only on weaker CPUs, ie, it didn't affect high end CPUs.
I love how we went from upgrade number 3 straight to upgrade number 7
17 actually 😂
And had 2 upgrade 17's😂
I can only assume that in Afrikaans, the number 4 is synonymous with "top-tier".
Can't exactly have that in an "Amazon's Choice" video, now can we?
"Light up like a hemorrhoid on taco night."
You've still got it!
best part of the vid lmao. timestamp is 9:30 for anyone wondering

Let's hope he doesn't. Hemorrhoids on Taco night are a pain in the ass.😂
@@stefanmisch5272 🤣
Avoid Crucial if you're in Canada. If anything goes wrong, they'll ship you a replacement and you WILL get charged brokerage and duty. My SSD died and decided just to toss it as the fees would cost more than buying another (not Crucial) drive.
I used some SYY thermal paste on my laptop about 2 years ago. Still going really well in terms of thermals. My only advice is that it's a bit thicker/denser than I'm used to so spreading is a bit difficult. I'd advise spreading it manually with the included tool on something like a laptop rather than just sending the screws home and sending it - it feels like it'd bend the board before spreading nicely
Wait. Looking back. 499 for a 3060 is absolute robbery
I think that's Canadian dollars, not US Dollars though. In that light, it doesn't seem quite so bad. Seems the the RX6600 is still faster and cheaper though(in Battlefield, anyway).
Edit: just read the comment below. Forgot about Nvidia GPU driver overhead issues on lower end CPUs. Maybe when paired with higher core/thread count CPU the 3060 is faster? idk
@@jtenorj potentially could be faster idek tbh and I didn’t know it was Canadian dollars

This is an awesome video to find when I'm literally at the middle of purchasing everything for the first Desktop pc ive had since 2012
Well, at least you got mostly name-brand components ( the "no name" branded stuff was extras, like the RGB lighting kit I guess).
I was surprised you had issues with the airgoo RGB strips. I’ve used them in at least a half a dozen systems with no problems.
The thermalright cooler is a really solid performer but as you pointed out there’s issues with RAM clearance.
Love your videos 👍👍
I would guess the issue is with the RGB controller, not the strips. Shutting off randomly sounds like a controller issue.
I used to have the same cpu cooler. Turns out, placing the fans as pull instead of push makes the cooler overall louder with a high-pitched noice. And putting both of them, managed to stay very quiet even with a 5800x with temps below 65° in a full load while gaming.
Always super funny to listen to you, narrating these well cut and edited videos LOL - Keep up the good work!
You are correct...swap the GPU with the 6600 and use that money saved to put in a 5600X. That system would be well optimized. The Crucial SSD is a great budget option and I have the P2 version in my media server. Honestly anything that can read/write over 1.5K MB/s is fine. Standard Windows stuff and gaming is totally fine with PCIE Gen 3.
"Light up like a hemorrhoid on taco night" really got me😂
Perfect addition in the morning to start my day off, viewing with my coffee, really enjoy your amusing, but honest video's, thanks for starting my day off properly!
OMG, perfect video! I loved the balance between humor and tech stuff! I literally laughed out loud a few times man. hahah Thank you for this!
“Light up like a hemorrhoid on taco night” is an amazing simile and I will be using it from now on. Thank you Dawid for the amazing content 👍
ngl that cpu cooler is actually pretty good if you can fit it in your build, the only downside is the fan noise on the lower tier cooler, but you can easily swap them out for more silent fans
Stick an arctic or 2 on it
If you can pick up the Thermalright on sale, which has been happening a lot lately, and have the fans lying around, then it's a great deal. But once you start buying fans, it's putting you close to the price of other coolers.
Right now, on Amazon, the black edition of the 120SE is $37usd. If you pair it with a couple of Arctic P series fans, there's another $20. At $57, would I spend the extra $8 and get a Deepcool AK620? Probably. But I'm not everybody.
Personally, I got the Peerless Assassin on sale for $32, and bought a 5 pack of the Arctic P series fans. 2 fans replaced the cooler fans, and the other 3 replaced case fans. That setup has worked great for me.
@@tsuzot8192 I have a thermalright silversoul 135 and it got a decent, very quiet fan...
@@tsuzot8192 The Thermalright is a better cooler than the AK620, the more expensive version of it comes with fans with rubber corners, I guess it makes it sound a bit better. Otherwise it's one of the best air coolers atm and only costs like 40USD. It's a steal.
@@jondasek As GamersNexus said, the Thermalright is "within error and indistinguishable of the $65 Deepcool AK620."
Also, I was addressing the guy that said replace the fans, which adds costs to the cooler.
Nice video bud got my eye on the Argb version of that cooler like the fact u can mount it 2 ways so it doesn’t look offset too so u can avoid hitting stuffs on the bord lol it’s been getting decent reviews too , also that’s very clean looking install
I unironically used nothing but MF120's and MF140's in my build, along with a PL360Flux from Cooler Master as well. I went with a Corsair RM750x to cut down on noise so my computer isn't a spaceship. They're not bad fans at all! The ARGB LED's are very vibrant.
been using SSY 157 thermal paste for about a year now found it to be as good as anything branded plus its always in stock on amazon and I've been getting 8 grams for about 8 quid uk
6:33 4times the storage does not make it faster a faster ssd is faster not the capacity🤣🤣🤣

@@moorhen6156 nope Dawid said faster not slower faster like when you floor it in your car🤣🤣
I've used that power supply in my system for over 4 years now. Never had a single issue
Same. Just updated mine with 550W after about 4 years. Previous one was working great just needed cleaning and I put it in another case for a lower end build.
Found you by sheer happenstance and I gotta say, I really love your content. Keep it up man
Thanks for another great video! I have the peerless assassin 120mm white RGB version on a R9-5950X using noctua thermal paste (cause I’m afraid of liquid cooling). It’s idle at 39C and gets as high as 70C under a heavy load. It’s not a bad cooler for an “Amazon’s choice” product. I was very surprised with its performance.
Dude you should’ve gotten the amazon basics cpu cooler lol
SYY-157 is a really good thermal paste, I use it on GPU and Laptop because it's "thick" and doesn't dry with the time !
How often is thermal paste replaced? Even in laptops?
@Floyd Looney I do it at the end of the year. You'd be surprised at how often I've just repasted a cpu to fix crashes.
Girlfriend had a gpu for a year and checked it out, and the paste and pads were dried out and useless.
@E L Δ T E it's admittedly because I'm bored and like trying different coolers I end up with out of boredom.
I think it came out looking pretty neat in the end with the single fan on that CPU cooler, gave off hotrod vibes!
I actually rock that peerless assassin coolr in my build rn, it pretty cool!
Peerless Assassin is a beastly cooler, up there with Noctua for a third of the price!
If you take away the fan prices then still Noctua cost more. True.
It is still hard to say really, I mean sure getting the tower and adding better fans to it? Yea it might be a good deal. But a Noctua NH-U12S Redux go for $50... With fans. And then we got BeQuite or really all kinds of options, even used!! I rather get a brand name cooler since even Noctua the kings of air premium got options worth the extra $10. If AMD stock coolers where just a tiny bit better at keeping the CPU's from dying a early death? I mean it is so close for the stock cooler to handle a 5600G without fan noise and worries about the chips dying earlier then it has to.
@@TheDiner50 The fans on it are okay, why would you have to change it? It's on par with the best air coolers with its stock configuration and the fans are actually pretty quiet according to any scientific benchmarks I've seen (GN, Hardware Canucks)
@@jondasek They aren't good fans. Fan balancing and motors have always been thermalright's bane and Noctua's strength.
Noctua is still the way to go if you want no compromises with air cooling. Nothing wrong with going cheaper if you're not going to use the coolers full potential. You can also buy a 120mm or 140mm AIO for $30 to $40 to save space with AMD's G-series CPUs. If you seriously can't afford $100 for an air cooler you seriously don't need to be dealing with computers either.
"... this thing is gonna light up like a hemoroid on taco night ..." had me rolling 😄
yeah you have to just love his use of words to make anything extremely entertaining🤣🤣🤣
I bought the same exact thermalright cooler, and it's incredible good. I also didn't like the fans but luckily i had 2 spare artic fans and now it's incredible x2
I recently bought that Crucial P3 for my stepson's PC - it's a wee cracker and usually on offer somewhere lol.
While I am down with hating things by principle, I think the 3060 performance issue is down to driver overhead, rather than the specific model. Hardware Unboxed did a great investigative piece on it. Or did you get the 8 gig version of the thitty sixty?
Some listings with 'amazon choice' in the thumbnail aren't actually amazon choice at all. Dubious sellers just put the amazon choice logo in the corner of their product picture to make you think amazon recommends it. The world is a lie!
I guess Dawid isn't dumb enough to fall for that
Not surprised at all
I got same sleeved cables, mine weren't sticky, I feel cheated! Also they were so stiff I had to hang them on a radiator in order to make them flexible enough for installation. Easily the most entertaining CZcams channel ever
I have those exact Airgoo light strips, and MB120 Halo fans, lol. I've never had an issue with the strips turning off though. The fans are nice enough to warrant me making a custom mesh front panel for my Masterbox MB530P. Otherwise it'd be choke city with the glass front it came with. The one thing I love about the fans is each one of them have an independent 3-pin standard ARGB connection. All of my fans, and lights are connected to a Razer ARGB hub so I can fully customize the lighting profiles, and have them all sync.
All Amazon Choice means, (I think) is they're the most purchased item of that type. I could totally be wrong about that though.
I'm surprised how good, it looks when RGB lights thru the CPU cooler, or how reflective it is. I bought RX 6600 last year, and I was about to buy RTX 3050 instead, but I love messing around with linux, so I went full AMD, and not regret my decision.
Same here, upgraded my Zorin 16 box with a new 6750 XT over an old 2070 Super. Not a huge increase in performance (about 20%) but I'm sick of dealing with Nvidia on Linux and the lack of full Wayland support.
6600 is a beast i got mine used and got gpu for ages
The 6600 is so much better than the 3050. You made the right choice
Talk about a useless card. The 3050 isnt even faster than a 2060 super. I have no idea why they even made that card.
Unfortunately for Corsair, my stuffing holes are already free of obstructions, so I will not need to purchase 👍😁
The RGB fans look really nice, ngl. In fact a lot of the Amazon choice stuff is good!
I have used literally dozens of Thermaltake smart 500 watt psu's in builds over several years, never ever had an issue..
they may not be the best but they ALWAYS get the job done..
13:52 AMD GPU performs much better in CPU bottleneck scenario because of driver overhead, that’s probably why you got better results on RX 6600
And for the price of an new RTX 3060, you get RX 6650 that beats it and even RX 6750 that I don't have to mention the difference in performance and also 12 GB VRAM...
I CAN'T STOP BUILDING PCs AND IT'S YOUR FAULT DAWID
Between Dawid and PCBuilder I'm working on my 3rd build in the past year. One for myself, one for my daughter, and now one for my nephew. I need to stop watching these guys. I'm going broke!
The fan on the cooler likely sounds awful due to how it's mounted. They're designed to be in a "push" configuration, with the exhasut side of each fan directly touching the fin stacks and an air gap on the intake side, but you have it clipped to the back of the first fin stack in a "pull" configuration, which will lead to turbulence since the blades are spinning right up against the fin stack with no air gap.
I used the defused rgb strips from airgoo. I like them and they were a cost I appreciated
Thermalright peerless assassin is probably one of the best air coolers on the market for the price point. That being said throwing some Noctua fans on it would be beneficial.
Everyone knows that RGB makes your system go faster 🤣
Makes me happy that Amazon recommends that air cooler, it's amazing
I actually used that exact power supply for around 4 years, and I bought it used even. I only don’t have it anymore because I sold the PC it was in when I built a new one. It never had an issue with a gtx 1060 6gb and an i3-4100 (which was eventually upgraded to a R5-2600x)
Upgrading a crap pc with Amazon Choice crap. It's like a trainwreck upgrade.
Once again 1440p would solve the cpu bottleneck much better than overclocking cpu and keeping at 1080p
i actually use the cpu cooler but the black version of it and im really happy with it. running a r7 57x and easy under 60 degrees
PS. i threw the original fnas out and used my corsair fans i had laying around for the cooler
I have used a couple of the peerless assassin 120 coolers in builds. I did swap the fans to some swiftech units I had on hand and it's an amazing cooler for the money
Tech jesus is not impressed with you for not utilizing that cooler properly😅
Steve is the father, Linus the son. So who got the title of the holy spirit?
*Me:* i love watching you buy terrible pc crap from Wish and Amazon
*Also me:* WHY U KEEP DOING THIS TO YOURSELF?
I mean none of these items are terrible and Dawid kind of messed up with the CPU cooler.
@@Gatorade69 yes, and that was such a disappointment :D We were all expecting these parts to be really bad one way or another. Dawid got lucky this time :)
LOL that color scheme for the PSU sleeved cables reminds me instantly of a popular "Bond NATO" watch strap I had.
Your upgrade turned out very nicely, and it satisfied my urge to tinker with my PC for at least a week.
same here XD but i got some car parts i need to buy but i wanna go back to an air cooler because i got a 280mm aio with a 5800x and its not cooling as good as id like since i used to be able to hit 5Ghz with it
Ironically, the Peerless Assassin is the best Air Cooler you can buy right now (yes, it's superior to the Noctua). So, good job Amazon.
Hah, opinions over facts these days.
Dawid, how the heck do you always have such low GPU temps??
I have a 3070 OC Vision. 3 fans at the front, not open front panel but at least a small vent slat on both sides, plus 2 exhaust fans. With an ambient temperature of 16/18 Celsius, my GPU is running at 75 degrees Celsius under full load.
How do you always get in the 60’s, seemingly regardless of the case or card?
Undervolt it
@@motazkasem3289 Should I have to do that? Does Dawid do that?
75 is pretty normal for a 3070 OC
@@OGruurd I have read as much. That said, I don’t ever see Dawid getting those kind of temperatures. Which is why I’m asking about it. I don’t understand how he manages to keep temps so low. I’m pretty sure he’s run a 3080 before and kept it under 70c.
Dawid would take it apart and add thermal paste to the die. These channels seem to do that daily, lol
I'm impressed you did not cut the fan cable instead of the zip tie.
I just bought that same cpu cooler. Thermalright Peerless Assassin. Was on sale for super cheap and it was looking really good on Gamers Nexus reviews.

Not potato enough. Needs to be more potato.
Can I have a Gpu?
I bought a 3-pk of those same CoolerMaster MF120 Halo's (in white for an upper AIO) as well as one white MF140 Halo (rear exhaust) to match the 2 front 160mm intake fans on my white Lian Li Lancool 216 RGB case and they look great! Sadly that added almost another $100 to the $115 case.
I didn't need the 3-port CM hub since the existing Lancool hub allowed daisy-chaining. Considering my past bad experiences with CoolerMaster fans, at least they didn’t arrive defective and they’re not only very bright but quiet as well.
haha, got a good chuckle out that thermal paste applying part. People so touchy about how you apply it.
EZDIY-FAB do decent things--have used their sleeved cables in a few builds, as well as RGB heat-spreaders for RAM modules that were otherwise non-RGB to begin with--like back in 2019 when I moved from AM3 to AM4, and DDR3 to DDR4--but Vengeance RGB was just way more expensive than non-RGB. I just pimped those RAM sticks later down the road, and all you need usually is a heat gun.
They also do things like right-angle 8 and 6 pin adapters to make builds a bit cleaner too, and vertical mounts. Basically think of any cable management or case accessory that a bigger company might've produced--and they'll have cloned it.
I have the same CPU cooler and also the same problem with the RAM clearance. However, I just installed it a little higher and replaced the fans with better ones.
But I´m absolutely fine with the performance so from my point of view, it´s not the worst choice.
A side note that grey & black cable extension colour was made famous by James Bond as that was the colour of his watches Nato strap & became incredibly popular
My 10 y/o wanted RGB in her PC rebuild for Christmas, and knowing nothing I bought the same RGB strip kit - although mine may have been older, as there was no sticky, just magnets.
I had a few issues with a couple of the magnets pulling out, so had to glue them back in, but no issues at all with the RGB, it looks much brighter than yours, and has never randomly blinked off; even when the 10 y/o has buggered off on holiday with Grandma for 2 weeks (Disney, Florida), and left the system running with the screen switched off, until I spotted it nearly a week later.
Might be worth checking it isnt a power saving feature on the mobo.
In a (crap) black, Borg-esque Cube case, they look pretty awesome.
TBF, the case itself looks awesome, but half the board mounts werent tapped and in the end, after two broke, I drilled all of them out and fitted industry standard - as they also werent standard thread size or pitch.
That "OOOOOOOOOO!" at the SSD had me almost dying, subscribed!
The crucial drive actually good my brother accidentally ordered 2-2tb drives and gave me one for my build and it’s solid
I have exactly the same aRGB strips (2 kits for a total of 4) and I have no problem with them whatsoever!!
This was interesting. I usually use amazon as a base price when shopping around to see if I can find cheaper elsewhere. But when I buy, I’m always interested in good reviews. I’ve been guilty of going for Amazon basics or recommended merely because of it’s good reviews and the items turned out fine. Never really though about going full blown Amazon basics/recommended though. Neat video….
Dawid,
Your editing and video styling are Superb....keep it coming
BigT,Alaska
Love your videos, they make me laugh way more than any other tech youtuber, keep them coming.
I THINK making the best ddr3 pc would be a great idea to see how much current gaming pcs betefit from new components(graphic card excluded)
If this was a build I was working on, I'd take the extra / unused CPU cooler fan and mount it up top as intake to feed the cooler with fresh ambient air. Especially because the front fans are blocked off. And before anyone comments, yes, top intake is fine.
the fresh paste will usually perform very similar to other pastes, but the noctua will do its job still fine in a couple years.
When I`m looking to buy something on amazon, and I`m not looking for a vary specific brand or product, or when I don`t specificly want the absolute cheapest of whatever thing I`m looking for, I tend to just go for the amazons choice option, and honestly Jeff hasn`t ever steered me wrong this far... It`s no shock than, that his picks were mostly solid
SYY157 Thermal Paste is a highly regarded (silicon based) Thermal Paste. Tested by Toms Hardware in all their Paste tests and by many other such tests by other sites. Its easily as good (in many use cases) as your MX4 and NT-H1 pastes.
Sooo many references to stuffing holes and such 🤣. This the "stuff" I watch you for.
You could daisy chain the CM Fans and only use one header on the hub. They are argb gen 2 so you can still control them individually though. Then use the other headers for the led strips.
I've been binge watching your videos today, and KNEW that an upload was on the way haha, I wasn't wrong xD
Loved the lightshow!
that paste is pretty good using it to cool overclocked 7600x
I mean, some of the recommendations are actually pretty good. Both the Peerless Assassin and the Crucial P3 are insanely good pieces of tech for their value.
OMG you got with that "its going to light up like a hemorrhoid on taco night" line! I have to remember that one🤣
I love the TR Peerless Assassin! So cold for so cheap!
I used to use that same PSU but I 750w for my first build with a 3500x and a 2060. I don't get the hate behind it, I never had any power issues with it and it ran pretty well for me.
I use 7 of those coolermaster fans one being a 140 exhaust heh. They are great fans for the price imo
i litteraly just bought that same cpu cooler and it is a beast def one of the best purchases ive made
I have a Zotac 3060 twin edge OC LHR in one of my systems (it does mostly video capture and encoding... nothing major). I used it for gaming for a while when I first got it, and it was fine. Didn't get overly hot, didn't kill for power, and gave nice frame rates. The Ventus appears to be sort of sleeping on the job or something.
overall your upgrades are somewhat tasteful. I do think though that you might have done better on the power supply if you had just searched for "modular power supply". The (todays price) of about $60 would get you the "Apevia ATX-PM650W Premier 650W 80+ Gold Certified Active PFC ATX Semi-Modular" that would have gotten you blacked out cables AND some serious cred with RGB in the power supply (say what?).
