I need one of these coolers for a build to cool a 13600k cpu. The Peerless Assassin is around £40 whereas the Dark Rock is £80. Ive heard that the dark rock is better and quiter, but i'm not sure if its worth twice the price. Ill be using this rig for mainly 3d modelling and video editing with some occasional gaming.
Hello everyone, I’m building my first pc and need an upgrade for air cooler from the AMD stock cooler. I have researched and narrowed down to these 3 air cooler choices: - Dark Rock Pro 4 (used): 50$ - AK620 (new): 85$ + tax - Peerless Assassin 120 (new):42$ + tax
My specs are:
-
CPU: AMD 3900x
-
GPU: RX 5700XT
-
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro with 2 140mm Noctua A14 (intake) + 3 120mm Noctua F12 (1 intake + 2 exhaust) + 1 140mm Fractal Venturi HF14 (exhaust)
I only uses my PC for programming and gaming like csgo, league of legends, forza, escape from tarkov...
I would love to hear your opinion. Thank you so much for your helps!
The best one is the cheapest one, because they all perform about the same. Dark Rock Pro 4 is the quietest one. Peerless Assassin 120 will keep it the coolest. AK620 is arguably the best looking.
They’ll all be more than sufficient in keeping the CPU efficiently cooled.
the drp4 is the worst of the lot, but they'll all work fine
I'm looking at an Ryzen 7 5700x3d as an upgrade for my Ryzen 5 3600. Now I'm looking for a cheap yet reliable CPU cooler for the system looking at the ones in the title. I could get both for somewhat the same price. Which one would fit the best for mostly gaming purposes?
