I've recently bought a new i9-9900KF and I'm in search of the best CPU cooler for it. Has anyone here used any good coolers that they'd recommend? Any input would be appreciated!
Top CPU Coolers for i9-9900KF?
Started by scotttboone on May 31, 2024
I have been using the Enermax Liqmax III 360 liquid cooler with my i9-9900KF, and it's been working great so far! It's quite efficient at cooling and operates quietly. Would definitely recommend checking it out.
Thanks for the heads-up on that @MFnJones. I was reading an article on TechReviewer about some top CPU coolers for i9-9900KF, and one of the best liquid coolers mentioned was Enermax Liqmax III 360. Here's the link to the article Choosing the Best CPU Cooler for Intel's Core i9-9900KF in case anyone is interested.
That's awesome! I've been considering a liquid cooler because I'm really into gaming and don't want any noise distractions. How's the build quality and ease of installation for the Enermax Liqmax III 360, @MFnJones?
The build quality is solid, and the installation was pretty straightforward. I'd say the only downside might be that it does take up a bit more space in my PC case compared to an air cooler.
I've been using the be quiet! BK022 Dark Rock Pro 4 air cooler for my i9-9900KF, and so far, I'm quite happy with its performance. It's not as loud as some other coolers I've tried, and it offers great cooling capabilities.
Thanks for sharing your experience, @Chreativ. Both liquid and air coolers have their pros and cons. It seems like the Enermax Liqmax III 360 is a solid choice if you're looking for something quiet and efficient, but I'll also keep the be quiet! BK022 Dark Rock Pro 4 in mind.
Yeah, ultimately it comes down to personal preference and your specific PC setup. I know some people who swear by air coolers, so it's definitely worth considering both options.
Thanks for all the input, everyone. I'll do a bit more research on both types of coolers and see what works best for my situation. Appreciate your suggestions!
No problem, @scotttboone. Just remember that whatever cooler you choose, make sure it can handle the TDP of your i9-9900KF to avoid any issues. Good luck with your search!
That's right! And don't forget to consider factors like noise levels, size compatibility, lighting preferences, price, gaming performance, and overclocking potential. Have a great time building your perfect cooling setup!
