Which cooler is best for Intel i7 ?

Now of course it is, did not read my last post ?

Yes I did, but which way the cooler faces, has nothing to do with which way the fans on the cooler, face.

Everything is done as of Saturday all went well !! Had to enter BIOS first to choose USB flash drive Windows 10 was on to boot from. Install went fast M.2 drive showed as drive:4 but after all done was drive C: did not have to change boot order.

Went back into BIOS later to change drive from Auto to PCIe mode, in Auto runs a bit slower, but now getting write and read speeds upwards of 3,500 MB/s.

Cooling is fantastic did a good job so far at idle CPU is goes between 26-30c, did only one benchmark with AIDA64 only rose to 36c, further test it with better benchmark or other burn in.

Some reason all fans in BIOS were set for CPU temps even 2 chassis fans because i was getting speeding up and slowing down of fans at times, so i changed chassis and M.2 fan headers to motherboard for temp and making sure was set to PWM as it has DC too.

Thanks to both of you for your help so far so good, try to upload more photos having trouble doing so now!

He posted a picture of the HS with fans mounted so the direction is quite obvious.

Had to change back fan was same Lepa Bol.Quiet 120mm as 2 in front of case and one at bottom, because it was to thick was too close to cpu opt fan (And yes it’s taking air out back of case). Used a Gelid Slim 12 PL Blue LED i had works fine hooked together with bottom Lepa.

See picture of board on left side top where Asus Rog logo other fan covered part of this more because also thick too.


Question about using T_Sensor motherboard has it listed in BIOS with fans, received a Thermistor cable with board just long wire with a coated end and female connector. Should i use it for something ?

Not sure for what they say can be used for component you need to watch temps on.

I have 7 probes available (1 MB t_sensor, 2 MB intended for open loop water in and out temperature, and 4 from Corsair commander). I use all 7 but I OC and I am nuts. I have two in front of two of three front intake fans that I average as a measure of the ambient temperature in. One ( t_sensor) wedged in the middle of my RAM for memory fan control, one at radiator intake and two on radiator exhaust. I also have one for the air intake into the GPU.

You can also move it around as needed to find hot spots.
