I’ve recently bought a new pc with an i5-13500 and so far im using it with a stock cooler . Today while playin Fortntie the temp reached 100C , should i change the stock cooler asap and if yes , what new cooler should i buy ?
The stock cooler will hit 100 degrees while throttling; you have to understand there’s 14 cores and 20 threads on it. Its recommended to get any better cooler. Arctic eSports Duo 34 or any equivalent will work fine.
i haven’t looked much into coolers a lot but I’ve heard good about this
Yes you should look for a better cooler, I have the Intel 13500 in one of my systems and initially used the stock cooler which throttled the cpu in most applications. I had an old Scythe Mugen 5 and just ordered a LGA1700 mounting kit for it and it works very well. This is quite a beefy cooler and the cpu still hits about 80° in Cinebench.
So if you already have an older cooler your cheapest option is just seeing if they offer a LGA1700 kit for it.
Other than that it all depends on what you are willing to spend but a good starting point would be something like the Thermalright Assasin X120 Refined SE which can be found for as little as £15 here in the UK, not sure about pricing in your region. Personally I’d spend the extra on a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE for around £30.
*no I don’t work for thermalright :)
It’s normal (within specs, totally safe) for cpus to stay at 100 C. If performance is satisfactory you can leave it as is
Might be worth a try for an undervolt and repaste before you buy cooler though, you probably will want to get a better cooler eventually.
Any single tower cooler should be fine.
The AK400 or Thermalright Assasin X120 Refined SE are two popular choices.
Thanks for all the feedback guys ! Im going to change the cooler its decided . The thing is that the stock cooler is also a bit noisy while gaming etc. so i wanted to hear your thoughts on the cooolers of Be Quiet. I want something that will cool really well and will be less noisy . Thanks in advance !
