Air cooler that would give better temps for my 13900K than Noctua NH-D15. *Using Core i9 13900K with e-cores disabled and all P cores clock at 5.6GHz with VCORE static set to 1.35 at LLC 6 on an MSI Z690 MEG Unify X motherboard. Now when running Cinebench R23 full load, temps hit 90C and average 90C and only go as low as 89C and peak as high as
Thermalright has several compact hi-performance coolers with 5-7x 6mm or 4-5x 8mm heatpipes at quite good prices. Frost Commander 140 is one of best. U12A is 125x112x158mm (WxDxH) with 7x 6mm heatpipes for $109.95 on Amazon. FC140 has 5x 8mm heatpipes and is 140x121x158mm (WxDxH) w/ single middle fan. Your results are similar to others comparing the NH-D14 and NH-D15. Bottom line is NH-D15 brings Noctua back on par with other top coolers like PH-TC14PE, Silver Arrow IB-E, Cryorig R1 Ultimate, etc. Considering the age of NH-D14, being only a few degrees warmer than newest releases is impressive. But with my need to go beyond 4.2ghz with low temps made me look to see if theres any air, aio cpu cooler that is noticeable better, for no more than 50% more than what a NH-D15 costs. According to this thread there isn't, all we get is more noise, not even a Swiftech H220-X or the big brother the H240-X is not noticeable better than a Notcua NOCTUA NH-D15S SAMSUNG 500GB 960 EVO M.2 PCIe 2280 MZ-V6E500BW Silent Wing 3 PWM fans - 1 x 120mm, 2 x 140mm I overclocked it to 4.5GHz which is quite modest, and I don't intend to go any further.
