Shit No One Cares About Upgraded my cooler recently

[Oot]

Pretty gemmy, a noctua cooler I found online for $20 reduced my temps by 30c. Now, I don't have to throttle my CPU's clockrate and I can game at higher frames.

bro what fucking trash tier cooler were you using before?

It was the stock cooler that came with the prebuilt I had purchased during a time of chip shortage, buying a prebuilt during that time was cheaper than buying parts and assembling a computer yourself. At least it was for me, anyway. Long story short, I figured for such a cost they wouldn't fuck my cooling and I was wrong. I only upgraded it now because I've started playing more graphically intensive games that'd benefit greatly from a higher cpu clock rate. Previously, I was forced to set my clockrate to a lower value to avoid throttling, but I can let my CPU run at its maximum now with the upgraded cooling which nets me around 20 to 30 frames on average in graphically intensive videogames.

Damn, didn't know stock coolers were that awful. I had always assumed CPUs would definitely run hotter if you didn't invest in a decent cooler, but the 30°C difference is crazy. Kinda makes me wonder if they were using "refurbished" coolers to bring the price down. Is your CPU from AMD or Intel? I haven't been into PCs for a while but IIRC thermal issues are notorious with the latter.

Intel, it wasn't the stock cooler you're thinking of. It was some junk deepcool bottom of the line cooler. I wouldn't be surprised if the stock intel cooler outperformed it. But yes, my CPU is intel based on LGA 1200. I'm a big fan of Intel, it's American after all.

And to clarify, the 30C difference is there during load. They perform similarly at idle, THOUGH, the Noctua fan is much quieter.
