I finally found the ULTIMATE CPU cooling solution! 

I obviously forgot to change my end credits they're saved from some old video. Fx cpu lol. That's funny, also I wrote x78 in all the charts instead of x72... Fkn dumb

i swear this guy has to be on the booger sugar

You have the best B-Roll music. Love this channel. I could just chill to the songs not care about the tech. Thank you Joe.

I heard you review computer parts

I was going to say Noctua NH... *Damn it.*

At least noctua will last for eternity. Looking forward to see it cooling GPUs too.

Timmy Joe, I love this video! I finally upgraded my main build (X299) from a 7800X to the same 7820X model you were using... and cooled by a Kraken X72! But the best part is THANKS FOR THE TIP about setting performance mode on the pump! Mine had been running in Silent Mode the entire time I have owned it, unbeknownst to me, since (as you said) it cools great that way! But I'm about to do some re-testing with the pump going faster and see if I can get past 4.8GHz or at least take the temps down a bit at that speed. Anyway, great stuff!

Those six Noctua fans on the white Liqtech actually looked really cool. Inspires me to build a Chess themed PC - which is to say, ask you Timmy Joe to build a chess themed PC :)

I do like that new KRAKEN. Nuff said. That's why i stuck with AIR cooling all these years. Great vid Maine, keep on bring them vids.

Timmy you are an awesome reviewer! Keep being you, straight forward and honest!

How the hell do you have only 97k subs ? Im never disappointed when you post a video its always entertaining. Damn I love you. Keep it up man :D

I have to be mentally prepared to watch your videos. You make me freaking nervous with your boisterous intros.

i maybe missed something but kraken x72 stands on the box but in your graphs and tests you write x78...?

Moral of the story..Intel is too damn hot

Haven't watched the video, already love the test idea

Hahaha I love your energy bro. Found your channel researching PC parts for my new build, but stayed for the content. Keep up the great work!

Only way to really cool your CPU is to move to Alaska and build an ice hut.

Noctua and Ryzen is the marriage made in heaven.

I love the attitude that Timmy puts into his videos

I use the X72 for my 9900k 5ghz at 1.29v, keeps it quiet and cool

I'm just glad that fan cable didn't get caught in that Enermax AIO

I've my FX-6300 paired with an RX 580. 'Cool' video btw.

Can't wait to see you hit 100k subs, I like how much energy you put in to these videos.

Ivacy is doing something interesting. Their 1 year subscription is exactly the same price as PIA was before they upped their prices. I wish them the best in competing in this very much needed service industry these days.

More good content man. I enjoyed this one.. I have a Kraken x62 on a Ryzen 2600 and my temps get a little higher than I would like. 4.1 at 1.325v getting in the 70s.. I'm thinking I may need to lap the CPU because the last time I popped it off the cooler hadn't touched about a 1/5 of the CPU. Krakens are amazing though.

You gotta have your own 80's montage, man. "Chal-lenge accep-ted, you're all on your owwwn, put to the test your skills will be showwwn, give it your all including your hearrrt, you're in your niche a master of arrrrt. Getting bet-ter day-by-day, friends cheer you on as you learn the wayyy [guitar solo]... Times running out, minutes to goooo, you'll show em all the power of Tim-o-thy Joooooooe... "

I like these newer Noctua fans with the visible screws. "We're going to improve the cooling performance of our fans, while making them EVEN UGLIER!"

Great energy, Great review. Push/Pull configuration is the final answer.

The Noctua Redux fans are awesome looking. They're my next fan purchase for sure. 1700RPM and can even use chromax corners, but grey instead of boring black.

Remember when a fx8350 could be overclocked at 1.5v using a hyper212? And that crap was an industrial heater then

Thanks so much for the video. I've almost always gone with Noctua coolers but this have given me something to think about. Maybe its time to try the kraken.

For one time I fall asleep early Timmy Joe releases a video.

The maroon/browns & tan on those Noctua fans is beautiful. Not sure why people think it’s an ugly color combo. Certain products scream....”high quality” and Noctua nails it.

Your energy is jarring but your information is very useful. Awesome video, man.

Almost at 100K subs! Keep up the good work!

I was running a 980Ti with my FX 8350. I'm now running an RTX 2080 with a Ryzen 7.

Oh my gosh, I so heart that Kraken X72! I've been planning to pick one up "any day now" for about two months, but unexpected expenses keep popping up! Need one to cool my 7800X @ 5.0GHz. It's running that speed now with a 2.120 cooler, but with HyperThreading off to make temps happy. I'd like to turn that HT back on and also add the straight-up *SEXAY* Kraken X72 razzle-dazzle to my nearly perfect rig!

At those prices, a custom loop really isn't that far off, and will definitely perform better.

Noctua's industrial 12v iPPPC-3000 3000 RPM Fans.

Nice tests! As soon as I saw your NH-u12a tests I knew somthing was off with the liqteck cooler

I thought Gamers Nexus already did something about Enermax AIO getting gunked up

Youre makings great videos man! Keep up the good work

Good for $160 Custom loop to match that configuration would be around $400

THAT OFFICE SPACE SHIRT THOOOOO

Please bring the intro of you screaming "Puter Parts!" back

I think gamers nexus did a video on the enermax issue where the gaskets were dissolving and material "goo" was being left to clog up the fins on the copper plate. I'd still like to see if that's the issue with your enermax aio, also nocuta is awesome.

I have a Dark Rock Pro 4 on my Ryzen 2600X I got for $59 on sale - awesome cooler and very quiet.

What the fuck is wrong with everyone complaining about loud fans and then switching to weaker ones? You just fucking modify the fan curve... You can test every 120x20mm fan on the earth, those $2 ones and those $30 ones and these will have almost the same noise levels if all set to the same RPM...

Why not use the ippc 3000rpm fans

Great video and testing!

Make sure to add lots of corrosion inhibitor to the new liquid after cleaning the Enermax cooler, my theory is that because they have bigger base-plates, the surface area of copper vs aluminum is a lot bigger than other AIOs and thus it requires more corrosion inhibitor than normally, and Enermax still may not be adding enough.

When the fans cost more than the aio they're on. 11:30

And yet there are still people living in single core athlon days thinking AMD has the hot cpus.

You know what I wish they'd make? A single rad that had two rads in it. Meaning, 4 connection and flow points of which the two sets of two use their own half of the radiator for cooling. This way, you can buy a single rad for a full custom loop, but you'd be able to cool the GPU effectively after the coolant comes off the CPU. AND you wouldn't have to have, find, mount, and route for two radiators. I think a single 420 medium thickness medium fin density with 3 140mm Noctuas would be perfect for this. 140mmx210mm of cooling for the CPU and GPU respectively and only 3 fans. Only other thing one could ask for would be black, white, or black and white Noctua fans instead of brown. I get brand image, but WHY ARE THEY STILL BROWN, NOCTUA!?

You do not sound excited enough, you need to sound much more excited.

Yeah, I’m definitely going with the NZXT Kraken X72

OK I didn't watch the video yet, but just had to thank you TJ for doing this one, i was waiting for it. Cheers from deep shitty place in old europe!

shoudl get some arctic P12 fans and see what they are like. Really happy with the sound performance from them. You can get 5 fans for the price of one of the noctua's in the UK.

"Uh thats hot, uh thats hot" *Read with will smith voice*

I play games longer than benchmarks. Proper air is the only answer.

Great experiment bud. You should try direct die cooling and get rid of the CPU heat-spreader altogether. You can use foam surrounds that we used to use on the old southbridge and northbridge chips, or you can cut 1mm thermal pads and layer them to surround the CPU die, and that'll help protect against cracking the die. And when you fit the waterblock, DO NOT use the tension springs that normally push down on the socket rods. use as little liquid metal(preferred) as poss and if the CPU has tiny resistors around it, and you feel OK not doing the die surround job, protect them with nail varnish or conformal coating. It seems like we're going back to the old days of the Pentium 4HT when Intel gets to the speed push of their chips series.....it was almost turning everyone to some degree of extreme cooling. >___

A lot of tests I saw said the x62 beats the x72, not sure why but LTT gets those results in his latest video too. I have an x62 on my TR 1950X OCd so all cores have a consistent 3.75 GHz, and I only reach 45-50C under extended work loads (CPU rendering).

2:43 fan cable casually gets sucked up

Hey man love the north bay content, As a fellow Ontarian I would say stick to what made your channel great. Video reviews of old gear that still rocks in current days. Its hard to keep old gear coming in to keep the channel fresh.... BUT lets get the community more involved with viewer builds on a budget or viewer builds on no budget. I know a lot of people that fall into both categories... lets make this happen. North bay aint that far from everywhere. Lets get it done son.

How to open the gate of hell? Step1: OC the i9 9900K.

I have an X62 and am glad I spent the extra on it just for the fans. The EVGA is only better because they have like 2500rpm fans that are super loud at full speed

I think you'll find that running that setuip in a push+pull setup with different fans, that one set will either be choked, or one set will be forced pushing... even more so if the corsairs are controlled via mobo case fans, and the nzxt fans are controlled by the AIO. Even if both connected to the AIO, they'll never match. Better off getting all fans same, or just running it in a pull or push setup (but ascetically - use corsair fans setup to push.. make use of that temp.glass front, right?) And saying that... Don't think the 680X is the most ideal case.. front panel and even the top panel blocks quite abit of air (check gamers nexus), the Lian Li 011 Dynamic case might be the better choice with a similar look. Granted your testing did show not much of a difference between running the aio in case and out of case.

It be cheaper to set up a room as a server-cooling room with AC and the thing running around 5 degrees than all that faff !

Interesting idea with the fans, I've wondered for a long time how much "performance" comes from the fans vs the AIO itself. Nice to have a apples to apples comparison for AIO alone without the fan variable.

omg you bent the shit out of those fins......***starts doing ocd back flips***

I love that kraken x72. I got one in my build and it does a good job...

Ok that liqtech has to be dry. There just isn’t a chance that either A: the pump doesn’t work or B: there isn’t any liquid

Just curious, you did use a truly flat surface while actually lapping the cpu? That foam pad beneath that sandpaper in that one shot has me concerned.

The U12S and U12A are two different coolers

I would like to see the best air coolers go head to head on your channel

I wish Noctua could send me a bunch of fans.

With these 360 AIOs I think you need to set the software to highest pump/motor speed and highest fan speed. For Kraken 72 that is 2000RPM fan speed and for the motor/pump is 2800 range RPM speed. For the much cheaper S36 360 AIO from Fractal Design it gets 3150RPM motor speed and 2000RPM fan speed. For Thermaltake 360 Floeriing AIO it gets 3600RPM motor speed and 1500RPM fan speed. I'm not sure which is more important, motor speed or fan speed. I think S36 beats Kraken 72. Those are the highest settings for each of those AIOs, the lowest or preset settings may be much lower. Double check their motor RPM and fan RPM on their home web-sites.

can't wait for 140mm of those new Noctua fans and replace the fans on my NH-D15

I've seen a guy get 5GHz with a 7820x with 1.28 Volts and a max of 68C. Like how is that possible 😵

Knew something was wrong with your results in the first vid... Should make a note on that video stating the enermax is broken or something.

Noctua does make black fans. They are water and dust resistant, also they spin up to 3000 rpm. Lookup "Noctua industrial"

Oh my god, all of those temperatures are terrible, I got a used computer that was being operated at that temperature and the board was bulged below the socket and the socket was partially melted. People need to stop complaining about noise because this is why companies are manufacturing coolers that allow cpus to get this hot. If people didn't complain about noise so much, there would be coolers out that would keep that under 50 degrees under load. Because I don't put silent operating before proper cooling, everything in my computer right now is at ambient temperature and my computer is going to be fully functional 10 years later.

WOOOOO GOTTA STAY COOOOOOL

2:44 this fan cable yhhh

AIOs are POSes either custom loop is the best or high end air PERIOD plenty of people have tested this before its settled Jays/LTT/Gamer Nexus etc etc any myself

Did no one else notice "kraken X78?" I actually tried to look that up

you did not lap it.. you mostly scratched the coating.. lapping is supposed to smoothen the surface as much as possible (so no air -which is a bad thermal conductor- can slip in the cracks and also the cracks make the surface uneven which means the headsink wont attach perfectly on that surface. )

Great video man love silent computers thinking about the nzxt AIO for something Just finished a z170 with a 6500 i5 and threw a Corsair h100 I had on it looks slick and sticks near ambient under load kind of unnervingly quiet with the off brand blue light case fans I have throughout the build. As far as the Noctua cooler I would like to see the black and gray redux fans on it to see if it makes it better looking without sacrificing performance.

On the box it says Kraken X72 :D

I one-day will unleash the Kraken

So many noctua fan i can build pc with sell all that fan indonesia that fan it's so expensive Noctua it's very good i think👍

Noctua is now making dark grey fans for those who don’t like the brown

The Kraken X78 is impressive. I dare to bet that Noctua will strike back with a successor of the D15 with extra heatpipes.

I use the x72 to cool my 1080 ti and it keeps it at 42 degrees or lower at all times. That cooler is a beast

sweet, you totally read my mind. i was wondering which is better. air or liquid. push or pull. noctua fans are great. got me some. i had a h100i corsair aio on my i7 3770k with 2 x noctua fans that replaced the corsair fans it came with. noticed the heat was hi the other day when i was gaming. got to 79c liquid gone tubes cracking. got a bequit heat sink with fan. under 70c full load now oc to 5ghz with turbo.

I have the same enermax aio as you. I used it briefly on my 9900K test bench and noticed it cools pretty poorly for it's 360mm size. When I contacted enermax tech support, the agent said I should plug it in straight with SATA power and let it run at 100%.

Wraith Prism (0 EUROS) = 69,7 degrees C max (middle noise) Cooler Master Hyper 212X RGB Black Edition (43 EUROS) = 67 degrees C max (quiet) Noctua NH-U12A (using 1 x Noctua NF-A12x25) (104 EUROS) = 65,5 degrees C max (middle noise) Noctua NH-U12A (using 2 x Noctua NF-A12x25) (104 EUROS) = 64,4 degrees C max (very NOISY) be quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 (using 2 default fans) (87 EUROS) = 63,2 degrees C max (very quiet) Noctua NH-D15 SE AM4 (using 2 x Noctua NF-A15) (97 EUROS) = 62,5 degrees C max (very quiet) I used my Ryzen 7 1800X at stock clocks for testing all of these coolers and I care only about the maximum stress temperature results that I can get after around 5 hours of continuous tests compiled out of OCCT v4.5.1 (manual 16 threads, Small Data Set, 40 min), Furmarks cpu bench (16 threads, 30 min), Prime95 (60 min) and Assassins Creed Oddysey (3 hours). All fans on all coolers were used under standard PWM settings which is the default middle setting in BIOS and the most likely to be used by everybody. For the exhaust fan I am using Noctua NF-F12 120mm @ 1500 rpm speed, for the intake I am using Bitfenix Spectre 140mm @ PWM speed because after 5 hours of continuous benchmarks my Fractal Design Focus G Window case is full of hot air especially during playing AC Oddysey on my EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC2 iCX. For measuring I used HWInfo which is in my experiences for now the most accurate besides HWMonitor. All of these coolers were tested by me over the course of 1 year because I don't want to buy all of them myself but I use some of them from time to time for my own testing when I have to build a rig for a customer and I just borrow a cooler that I want to tryout before I finalize a rig for a customer. Temperatures that I got were taken from a CPU that is relatively cold in comparison with an i7 8700K, i7 9700K or an i9 9900K which may result in bigger differences between temperatures for each cooler. All I know is that these differences do not justify the price hike for Noctua and beQuiet coolers although they are superb in cooling. But unless one uses an i7 8700K, i7 9700K or i9 9900K you would definitely be throwing money literally in the trashcan if you buy anything above Hyper 212X even for moderate OCing. Just don't forget to cool the VRM-s if the VRM chips are inefficient or the heatsinks on them are small.

You know what I don't see there? Open loop.

When you open it up, show if it's possible to refill it. Thanks Timmy!

Timmy, you really should do the lapping on a mirror or pane of glass. Just get a flat piece of sandpaper and tape it to the glass. Otherwise there's a good chance you're making it worse. Your lapping doesn't look very even.
