Air Cooler For Cpu

[Thumbscrews] Ever since top vents started coming into vogue, I've longed for a case like this to make an appearance, and it's everything I wanted. The key differentiator of this case compared to most other, modern cases is that it has no vents on the top. For air cooling, this is ideal because you want air to go through the CPU cooler and out the back, not go out the top and skip the cooler entirely or come in from the top and screw up the flow direction. There is a slope in front of the top-mounted PSU that forces the incoming air from the empty space at the top of the front fans down into the CPU cooler. Then the GPU area is fed by additional fans on the bottom to ensure there's plenty of fresh air. This amount of airflow allows you to run the fans at pretty low speeds, being almost silent at 60% in the front and 40% on the bottom, while not significantly reducing the cooling potential. There are mesh filters in front of both sets of fans, keeping the interior a lot cleaner than it would be without them. The panels pop off nicely with some sort of magnetic or tension mounting. Overall, the design of the toolless access and working inside this case feels like an improvement over the Meshify C case I had before. Of course, there is one compromise. If you want non-nvme drives, it only has room for a couple on the rear of the motherboard panel, and there's not much airflow in that area, so I'd hesitate to use a spinning platter hard drive. At this point, I only use nvme drives and a separate NAS for storing media, so that's no problem for me.

[4.6 GHz] A powerful gaming CPU that is extremely capable. However, if you're an SFF builder, be prepared for how warm this CPU runs. Nothing that can't be handled with a proper AIO cooler, but if your ITX case only supports air cooling (i.e. Fractal Terra), then selecting an appropriate air cooler and applying curve optimizer may be essential to bring down the standard operating temps to something you can tolerate. Also, I agree with Dongun's review comment about the increased boot times. Bottom line: Highly recommended CPU.

[USB-C 2.0 Gen 1] Great CPU but it overheats a lot, definitely need a better cooler.

[Aluminum] Much Better to install then a Air cooler

[Ball] Great cpu cooler! Works well! Looks great! Easy to install!

[92 mm] It is a quite and solid built CPU cooler. Easy to install, worked perfectly.

[Handle] The NZXT 360mm Kraken Elite RGB All-in-One Liquid CPU Cooler (Black) will surely keep your CPU cool and the look and design are great.

[E-ATX] This motherboard is very expensive, but it's like buying the top of the line in anything, it costs more. Pros: I love all the USB options. I love the fancy NVMe slots (5)! I love the Wi-fi which is 6E (DLs 7MB/s more now with no upgrade to old N router.) 6 SATA ports is good. My system went from an I7 4770K to an I9 13900K (runs hot but nothing can help that I think). Love the Bluetooth for my wireless headphones. Cons: The only problem I had putting it together was when I inserted the CPU it did not work right; my brother had to re-seat it and re-apply the heat goo and CPU fan (which I was loathe to do myself) but then it worked great! Flashed BIOS before re-seating of CPU trying to fix; good idea to flash with newest anyway. The 5.0 NVMe slot shares bandwidth with the video slot so if I go to a 5.0 device it will cut my video bandwidth in half. Not sure this is the MB's fault. But I hate sharing on MB slots. System now: *Intel I9 13900K (I7 4770K vs. I9 13900k = Passmark 7120 vs. 60065) *MSI MPG Z790 CARBON WIFI *CORSAIR Vengeance 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR5 5600 (4x more upgrade) *Noctua NH-U12A chromax.black, 120mm Single-Tower CPU Cooler (Now I'd go with the dual towers and 140mm fans for the 13900K) *Cooler Master HAF X case (for drive bays) *Seagate FireCuda 530 M.2 2280 2TB PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4 3D TLC (boot drive) over the Samsung option for durability stats. *PCIE 1X to 20 Ports SATA PCIe Controller Expansion Card (because LOL) and I have 2 DVD RW BDR drives and a bunch of SATA HDD drives. *NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (old but I just spent a truckload on upgrades) Wishing for 3060 or 3070 in future. *20TB WD HDD *Several older HGST HDDs (love HGST!) *Cooler Master 1000W Gold Silent Pro PSU (old but works) Running Win10 x64 Pro My hat is off to B&H for super-fast delivery and working well with me on other issues.

[300 to 2400 rpm] I received the purchase promptly from B & H. In regards to the MSI MEG Core Liquid S360 cpu cooler, I used Noctua 12X25 PWM fans for the radiator instead of the supplied fans. It was easy to install, keeps the Intel i7 13700K cpu cool and is very quiet. Exactly what I wanted the MSI MEG Core Liquid S360 cpu cooler to do. The LED display is a attractive bonus. I am very pleased with the purchase and as always B & H is the best.

[Plastic, Steel] I built my PC with this case as livingroom Home theater and for gaming. CPU: AMD RYZEN 5 7600 GPU: XFX Radeon RX 6700 SPEEDSTER SWFT 309 CORE SSD/RAM: 1TB/16GB Motherboard: Gigabyte A620I AX Mini-ITX AM5 Motherboard Cooler: Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML120L V2  PSU: Cooler Master V850 SFX Gold 850W 80 PLUS Gold Modular SFX OS: Linux (Bazzite OS), Widows 10/11 The case instructions were about as clear as Ikea furniture, but manageable and fun to build. Cable management will take some patience. If using an AMD CPU, disable the default overclocking, as it smelled like PC was melting while running at a contstant 95 degrees, regarless of air cooled or liquid cooled. Overall, I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Performance on Windows 10/11 and Linux (Bazzite OS) is great and very similar, with Windows requiring more upfront time to setup with drivers. Cyberpunk 2077 - Ultra settings, consistently over 100 FPS with FSR 2 enabled at 1080p. 60+ FPS at 1440p. Starflied - Ultra Settings, mostly at 70 FPS with FRS 3 enabled at 1080p. I wouldn't recomment 1440p.
