Rules
-
Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
-
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
-
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.

Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

As others have said apart from the LianLi option. Arctic Liquid Freezers are your best bet. The radiators themselves are thicker than the others which means they cool better.
Plus the main pump has a little fan on it to keep the VRM’s cooler which in turn extends the life of your motherboard.
Been using them for years.
Although in saying that. I am currently doing an upgrade to a 13600K and MSI Tomahawk motherboard.
But on eBay last week I saw a Cougar Helo 360 which was $209.00 but with my eBay Plus membership only cost me $160.00 and I got free two day delivery. So I thought I might give this a go after reading the reviews on it. Plus you can easily refill the coolant and it actually comes with a bottle of coolant included.
Plus I bought some Cougar Vortex fans to replace the ones that come with it.
