I did a test on my normal work load and suite of applications I use. I was using a fraction of the power of my 14600k so my be quiet hardrock is sufficient. the stress tests are useful for reviewers but real world use should be taken into consideration before buying noisy AIO's .
I'm running a 13900K with a 240mm 2 fan AIO and can easily hit 100C and throttle on Cinebench. I'd love to see you do a test with a push-pull setup on a 240mm AIO to see if it can stay below throttling. I want to attempt it at some point but would like to know if it'll even help.
Thank you for the test, air coolers are getting better and better. I have a Darkrock and a AMD 7700x, very happy with performance and noise level. Are you only doing tests with Intel CPU's Mr Prawn ?
Did you apply an undervolt previously that might have hung around for the first test by any chance? I'm not sure if the old score is from a run with the AIO, but if the air cooler somehow managed to pull ahead of that in the beginning, the cores might have drawn more power to run at a higher frequency and then crashed due to the undervolt.
It looks like Corsairs' version of the Noctua NH-15 Chromax Black cooler. Another great looking stealth cooler! Will you be doing a comparison video? BTW, the 15S version is not just single fan but also the cold plate is offset to give more GPU space.
Right, no pump failure and no leak that could damage components inside your unit. However, you have to undervolt high-end CPUs and understand that a i9-13900K will throttle under stress, even with the best air cooler out there. It's a trade-off.
@@will4417 pump fail and leak chance super low. Am 42 and my first pc was with intel 233mhz and onlye one time had pump fail. Use Aio so long never then one pump fail in 15yrs. Same time have fan fail on aircooler and most aircooler use fans who cant replace when thy fail.
Hello I have my a problem with my lian li tl LCD fans. They return to the lian li logo instead of sensors after a while of turning on the PC. I can return the signal by removing and connecting the side cable on them or by turning pc off and on. The control of fans and RGB is fine and can be controlled only LCD , which seems to be USB connection problem. I can see in your video that you had the same issue on 2 fans at 11:11. Do you have solution or work around that does not require removing side cable and putting it again?
I was having windows update issues there. But have you seen my wiring guide? th-cam.com/video/gvDVijV4qvU/w-d-xo.html and don't use port 1 for the LCD fans on the controller if you are as that could be a problem. I'd also look for firmware updates for the controller via L-Connect or Lian Li's website.
Peoppe still believe you can't air cool these chips it's actually hilarious. I have found so much user error when ir comes to the 13900k this ain't a 14900k and if you have an updated bios and you use it as intended then you are good to go. Lol
I relided with copper and used conductonaut liquid on the cpu, with mx6 ontop of ihs, with coolermaster hyper v2 dual fan, and get similar results on i9 11900k, it is noisy with 5 case fans and 6th as exhaust, but I am happy that my highest temp is no longer in 90s, I switched out to smaller case and my watercooler wouldnt fit, and my cpu was wet, I hope to get a few more years and in that time get 14900k
it's usually around there I was talking more peak temps, depends on game too. I just see many saying you HAVE to be on water with these chips and it's just not so, at least for gaming.@@rdnoodles
case can make a big difference, I also prefer to have the ambient noise so my fans are all maxed out lol. I upgraded from a 6600k so you certainly have some life left for yours, old cpu was bottlenecking my new 4080@@jameshadaway8621
I honestly didn't think it would fit in the case, now the only problem is if you want RGB it would look much nicer with an AIO, and according to the page from corsair their AIO cools better too, does not specify which AIO is used for testing sadly, I guess the use case is to save money for someone that doesn't care about RGB.
Oh yeah, you can't get rid of the RGB RAM, that will make your computer run much slower. And everyone knows that the RGB is the most important component of a computer. One suggestion, get some anime waifu character stickers to put all over it, they help a lot with cooling.
@@jericho2328 Using ak620, my idle around 34-35, full load around 65-70. Using galahad, idle around 31-32, full load around 60-65. My room temperature around 32c.

Good to see it works great with just one fan. I was getting worried if I should return it bc I had the same issue with motherboard and case fitting

Well deserved 100K. Congrats!

Bout to go nutty on Noctua/Fractal North. CANT WAIT.
Share the photos on Discord. That'll be a good combo.

Would Ripjaws S5 be in the way of this cooler with front fan installed? Also, how does it compare with Phantom Spirit 120 SE?

14900k with a noctua u12a, h6 flow case. Idle 38-40, when gaming gets around mid 70's to mid 80's.

would it be possible to make this work with the new icue link rx fans?

Yeah
XTU in light theme sears my retinas.
I have noctua nh-d15s chromax black for my i9 14900 KF. To avoid exceeding 80 degrees C, I cannot clock the P and E cores higher than 3.2 GHz.
Have you remove sticker or use thermal past ?
You done some thing realy wrong you cant run higher then 3.2ghz.

waifus are important to keep your…spirit…up. and if you’re watercooling you need some wet swimsuit edition, of course.
@@medovk Hey now! Just as long as the only thing it is keeping "up" is spirit it is not too weird for an old goat like me.
Exactly and setting RGB to Blue helps reduce PV temps too
I used AK620 digital before for my 14900kf, it was actually quite good, but I hated the beefy body, so I replaced it with galahad. 😅
Beefy
How much better was the Galahad? I’m on the same boat with the ak620

That fan mounting mechanism is *hideous*
At least it has standard 140mm fan mounts. Can't think of any 140mm air coolers that currently do. They all seem to use custom fans or fan mounts.
Is it just me or is every fan set to exhaust?
Never know reverse blade fans?

Hey I saw my name on the first video! Lol yay me
Thanks for the support Scott
Just a shame how boring air coolers have become. We have AIOs with LCD screens that can show sensor data or gifs.
Some are "cooler" www.deepcool.com/products/Cooling/cpuaircoolers/AK620-Digital-Performance-CPU-Cooler-With-Status-Display-1700-AM5/2023/17202.shtml
Or just get a case like the Jonsbo D41 Mesh Screen.
The party trick is in the name
tldr, its too big, stick with an aio lol
