Intel's Other Stock Cooler.... 

I always like my CPU to be at 69°C for maximum efficency of course

it actually looks sick ngl

The fact that they synchronized the logo backlight with the rpm just to make it appear as if it's doesn't move is honestly just very cool

8 degrees Celsius is a pretty decent margin for a cooler like that it's actually impressive especially for £10 + RGB, so that's a decent win.

From the side, it's giving Sauron...

"playing with the lights has already given me ten pounds of enjoyment" you're the best thank you so much for everything

2:45 Maybe not a MASSIVE difference, but 69c vs. 77c is a very nice upgrade in my book

I shoved an i5-11400 cooler (so previous generation of the modern Intel model) as a temporary heatsink onto an i7-2600K on a friend’s machine I built. With the most basic 4.2GHz overlock, it’s adequate! Though a tiny bit noisy when gaming… Greetings from US :)

At least it's not a phone cooler,someone tried that recently and it worked with volcanic temperatures and great power efficiency

The push-pin mechanism of the Intel stock cooler is the invention of the devil.

It seems like it would make much more sense to include these for the whole i5 range in prebuilts to lower the noise and increase the turbo duration.

The Intel copper-core sinks are awesome. I have a few in my stash from a long time ago and one is currently sitting atop my ITX 4770 build. Thanks as always for the great content!

to get those frames out of the RGB it must be set to Red (speed)

These are basically those old Zalman coolers from the 00s. Nice.

I have the RH1 cooler installed in my i5-14600K mini ITX build. Performing well and very pleasing to look at! A bunch of friends and family call it "Iron Man's core" especially if the aRGB is set to a static blue. Pretty neat!

Ayyyyy!! I remember leaving a comment about this, thanks for making a video about it! Me and my coworker were doubling over laughing at the fact this existed. For a tenner though? Heck, I’d pick one up to cool a XX100F/XX400F

Neat little stocker.

long time sub!! love all your videos!!! you are my favorite youtuber of all time!! better than linus and nexus!!! keep up the great work brother!! sooo glad you are getting review samples now!!!! it wont be long before you move out and get your own warehouse to store all your free parts and rigs.. id bet my btc wallet this will be your ticket to the good life! just dont give up!! and we will never give up on you! your videos inspire me.. i am a pc builder and have learned tons from your chanel.. and for that i thank you very much!!! with love from across the pond -robert

It actually looks really snazzy!

I had a spare one of these from my work, came in handy as I bent the legs out a bit to fit a 2011-3 socket with hex screws to cool a 6800K

Also, hey dude! your content always seems to pique my interest. keep it up dude!

Arctic MX-4 I literally swear by this stuff. Every build/refurb/re-paste I do includes it. CPUs, GPUs, If I've had it apart, I've splatted it with this gunk.

I still like the Wraith Prism better though Intel did a nice touch of making the logo not spin with the fan

you really really should do the thermalright comparison video. i'd love that

Man, these 2 looks neat! Good to see Intel is improving its stuff and bringing back the copper core.

So weird seeing you upload this.. Just a couple of days ago I was wondering if you had uploaded a video on the relatively new Intel stock coolers. And all of a sudden here the video is! What a coincidence.

I've got an Arc Challenger a750 just sitting around, this would be great for a little Intel theme build. Already have ideas going off left and right in my head.

Wow I'm early. Nice to see another vid!

It's actually nice, you can see they have put some effort into it.

Love your channel

He's right, those Thermalright coolers he mentioned are really good. It may just be anecdotal on my part, but I have used both the single stack Assassin and the double stack Peerless Assassin and they are both cheap and effective coolers.

Best looking Intel cooler I've seen in a long time 👍👍

On a system that is being stressed in hotter temperatures, even a couple of degrees improvement can mean the difference between full and stable clock boosting or thermal throttling. I am a big fan of putting a higher end processor's stock cooler on a lower end processor. Eleven years ago, a friend of mine and I built a brand new computer for his parents and brothers. It was an AMD Athlon II X4 which came with its own little stock cooler. I had helped my friend build his own personal AMD Phenom II X6 machine and he went with an upgraded aftermarket cooler for it. We put his Phenom II x6 cooler on his parent's machine and that Athlon II stayed 15*C cooler under load than with its own cooler. 8 or so may not seem like much but, it really is.

When i got my hands on a 12400f i used the stock cooler, temps werent amazing, but what really got the temps down for me was a cheap chinese socket bracket. The cooler was so firm to the processor it became a real pain just to get it off. At one point i thought that i would just crack the cpu, but 65 C max on load really speaks for itself when using it. Just goes to show how much proper mounting matters

Addition of backplate is great. Plastic pins dry out eventually, and may snap 5+ years down the road when refitting the thing

It looks extremely cool. You can't deny that.

That thing looks amazing. Noctus needs to make one like that, tall with a 120mm fan i bet temps would drop like crazy. And hey 8°C is a damn decent drop.

it is heat-pipe free and takes airflow to the VRM heatsink, so it is actually a good CPU cooler, you don't need worried about the chassis is horizontal or vertical.

Now take the Laminar RH1 and put a piece of 1000 grit sandpaper on a piece of glass and smooth the copper core out I imagine you might get another degree or 3 in coolness levels...:) As always the vids are welcome because the videography is excellent as is the scripting. Good on you to build a channel like this sir.

These coolers are better than previous Intel coolers so thumbs up 😎

I saw this recently and had no Idea what it was

Damn that is actually a really cool cooler

I assume the button on the ARGB cable is there in case your mobo doesn't have an ARGB header, so you can manually cycle through a couple of RGB presets

Hi Steve! Another temperature test I would like to see. This is with the use of those RGB lights. Two options I am looking for. Red and Blue! Same configurations, same tests, but only one of these colors to shine inside the case. In my opinion with blue light it should be cooler in average. But let's see, if the idea is right. Thanks for all the wacky tests you've done.

LOL! I have no RGB in my system maybe I can get more FPS with a light show. Its just like a flame job on a car, definitely makes it go faster!! Love your vids! Cheers.

I’ve wanted a video about this since it got released with the 12900 some years ago. I haven’t seen it stand alone in my country but I’d probably buy it for 10 pounds. The standard fan is good enough for the 12400F though.

The RH1 being sale for £9.99 and is actually excellent for the money and looks good with its illuminated core and fins. I did look for it a while ago but it was originally only supplied on i9 CPUs and not sold individually so I understand. The recent sales may be to remove stock because intel is going to no longer supply cooling fans with all its processor lines very shortly.

cool design for a stock cooler !

I recently picked up Arctic's Freezer 36 air cooler and it's really good for the price. I went for the ARGB version which was £22. Comes with MX-6 paste though I'm not sure if it's that much different to the MX-4. It certainly keeps my 5700X nice and cool. I've seen it reach as low as 28C at idle.

The crappies aftermarket cooler that surprises me at times is the Thermaltake 9SE

I got BQ Shadow Rock LP to deal with noise of stock cooler from 12100F. Installation was a pain, but is quieter under load than either of those.

What is the CPU fan & heatsink that comes with the i5 12400F by default? Is it the lighter duty one in this video?

it's great, awesome that both amd and intel are making decent stock coolers nowadays

It's basically one of those Thermaltake Orbs from 20 years ago.

Does the button on the RBG Cable maybe changes the lighting only when this cable is not plugged into the Motherboard?

I honestly think that stock coolers are the best route to go with for budget systems. They are designed to keep CPUs cool enough under realistic loads rather than stress tests so you can have a guarantee that your CPU will not overheat. It is best to not overclock while using a stock cooler, as it has led to some Ryzen 5 3600s to fail over time, but if you're rocking an Intel CPU, that's not a problem anyway because all non-overclockable CPUs are the only ones to get a stock cooler.

I have one of the stock coolers for LGA1700 since it was free. I didn't use it but it's probably enough for a 1700 i3 or i5, 12th gens. I like the less noise that slapping on a TR budget cooler gives for under 20 USD.

I never understood the whole cooling bit. I just lay my cases in a rack horizontally, put on the largest air cooler I can find and fit and leave off the side panel. Even under full load my 5950X never gets above 55 degrees C for weeks on end. And it is almost completely silent 🤷‍♂️

I'm just happy that Intel coolers are no longer ugly.

It's nice that Intel has finally updated their box coolers to where they are actually pretty good because I remember them not being very good for years.

Not bad, you could maybe try to compare them to the Arctic Alpine 17, it's a very low cost upgrade from the stock cooler, it would be interesting to see how it compares to the RH1

That is a cool looking cooler 😮

Would be interesting to see how it does on the more expensive Intel cpus, especially compared to some cheap tower coolers.

The little one, it was just 60% plastic Now the bigger one, it actually looks sick and made out of metal

I would love to get it in Germany, thanks for the video.

The newer coolers look so cool compared to the older gens that are just old and grey

Just for referance, I'm running an Intel i7 12700 with a Thermalright Assassin 120 single tower cooler for about a year now and consistantly get about the same results as the RH1

I'd like to see a comparison to the Hyper 212, since that's the gold standard of cheap CPU coolers. It's 20 USD on amazon right now, and (at least in the US) the Intel RH-1 is also 20 dollars.

solid stock cooling, it can handle 13500 undervolted well

I actually got two of these for someone’s system since they were selling someone on eBay was selling them for $10 each. Threw one on an i3 12100f because I couldn’t find the original cpu cooler and was hoping the rgb would work without a header, it in fact doesn’t. Still need to find something to put under the other one.

i got mine for a 12100F , works so well it even stops the fan running at times . freacked me out the first time i saw it do it , one thing is one you connect the rgb and change it you cant seem to get the original blue again i got a spare as well that i am keeping for a later build ,

I'll be sticking to my existing water cooler AIO with 360mm radiator. Even with that the CPU hits up to 80C, so any less cooling would be bad

Love the look of those coolers, sat here with a 3700X, might need an intel just for one

I wonder how it does compared to the RM1 with a higher wattage part?

Won't lie. That's a pretty cool looking cooler.

Great way yo make your build look like a hotwheels car

Hello @RandonGaminginHD This Video gave me a good idea. I was wondering if you could give some Testing on the Thermalright Phantom Spirit CPU Air Cooler on the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and the Intel Core i7 13700K or 14700K? Thanks for everything, Cheers!

The Wraith Prism cooler is going to be enough for me, when I upgrade to AM5.

what a nice little cooler 😊 and it has RGB ✨✨✨

I loved this cooler, but never got my hands on one

I bought an artic 36, for only 32 pounds. honestly the best air cooler ive ever used. i have a new i5 14400 and it was hitting 85 on 100% load on the stock cooler, i doubt these are enough for anything above a i5 13400

2:42 VERY NICE

It will be interesting see the same on Ryzen side, i have an r5 5600 and in windows stay at 50/55c and 74/79c while gaming, have ro say that some time the ambient temperature is 24 or +30c and pair the ryzen with a rx 6700xt so it's always with much load

I wonder if it would be able to handle the 120W PL2 for the i5 12400 at 100%?

This looks worth while, I am about to purchase an i5 12400F and wanted to replace the stock cooler as I live in Australia and we get very hot summers / ambient temps here. Anyone experience that their 12400F with a stock cooler having issues in a hot region?

Nice looking cooler for around $13 U.S. It's kind of pricey here in the U.S. I got my daughter an i5-12400 for her build and the stock cooler it does a decent job of cooling. Would love to get her one of these, but I don't want to pay $30 for it.

I would like to see a build that uses as little power as possible without compromising on performance. Undervolting everything, turning of lights, reducing fan speed and whatever else comes to mind.

Would of been better to have a 3 way comparison between the 2 intel coolers against an equivalent priced after market cooler

8 degrees , rgb, and quieter fan all for 10 bucks is pretty good

Actuslly is a nice design

Not bad for its price. Props to Intel for returning to copper-core stock coolers like they did back in Netburst era.

Definitely worth 10 bucks to me. Quieter and cooler makes it so. Have a great day.

Got an ID-Cooling SE-214-XT wich under full load keeps my i5 12400f under 52 degrees :), here in Romania that cooler costs less than 20 bucks.

I know it's a test system, and it does look fantastic with that motherboard, but it's really funny looking at a motherboard like that paired with a stock cooler lmao.

nice ty

It's a pretty cool looking cooler tho.

I got yoked. My 12400 came with a super cheapy that still fits the socket. What gives? Looks like it's 10th gen. I had a PCCoolers 180 Watt TDP cooler collecting dust so I used that instead anyway. Thing is, if the stock cooler looked as nice as either of these, I would have just used that.

Stock tower cooler for 1366 might still be the best stock cooler ever made

Wait why is green the color for the coolest temperature? Wouldn’t blue be the obvious choice? That seems bizarre. Is it a UK thing?

If the plastic pillars were aluminium fins, the cooler could have been so much better. That's a missed opportunity right there.
