Intel 2100 and G620 stock cooler enough?

grandpatzer · Post by **grandpatzer** » Tue Oct 25, 2011 10:40 am

I currently have a AM3 system with Mugen 2 500rpm 120mm slipstream, intake 120mm 500rpm, and exhaust 700rpm.

I' considering getting SB system with G620, I need 2 PC and wonder if I should get another Mugen 2 rev B or if the stock cooler is quiet?

All goes into the noise isolated Fractal R2

From what I understand, it's not horrible (assuming we're not talking about the low-profile version that comes with the T processors), but it depends on the background noise. How quiet does it need to be? Personally, I'd get something that didn't use push-pins and had easy fan replacement for when it wears out.

Just recycling (or so about) what I've written yesterday, in the SPCR Recommended List I think that the least expensive heatsinks, suitable for 65W chips, should be:

Cooler Master Gemini II S (end of life, it deserves a new fan)
Scythe Samurai ZZ
Xigmatek HDT-SD964W (it deserves a new fan)

But some of the tower heatsinks listed may be economically competitive:

Cooler Master Hyper212+ (end of life, it deserves a new fan, there's the new EVO, untested)
Thermalright (formerly COGAGE) Silent Spirit 120 (it might - or might not - deserve a new fan)
Zalman CNPS10X Quiet (it might deserve a new fan)

Out of that list, IMVHO you may look even at:

Cooler Master TX3 (end of life, it deserves a new fan)
Gelid Tranquillo (it deserves a new fan)
Xigmatek HDT-S963F (it deserves a new fan)
Xigmatek Loki SD963 (it deserves a new fan)
Xigmatek Nepartak S983F (it deserves a new fan)
Zalman CNPS10X Performa (one of the least expensive tower available, it deserves a new fan)

The fan of choice for 120mm models, if in case, it's the evergreen Scythe Slipstream PWM (SY1225SL12LM-P), or the Scythe Kama Flex PWM (SA1225FDB12H-P), for a bit of (hoped) more endurance.
The Arctic Cooling F9 PWM is a good option for 92mm ones, as well as the Scythe Kama Flex PWM (SA0925FDB12H-P).

So, make my day: anything, but not that crappy stock, please.

Thank you great input quest!

Sounds like the stock on 2100 and G620 is meh then?

I already have one Mugen 2, might get another one as I building to G620 systems, maybe even fanless, I dunno it's going to be 24/7 build.

The G620 is actually only 2-3w more compared to 2100t which is a 35TDP cpu, you can even underclock then it is samt as 2100t or lower(!).
^^^^^^^^^^^^ This was found out in 2 review one xbitlab and the other one I don't remember.

A stock cooler is like any graceful advice: if it were really good, it wouldn't come for free. Pun intended.

There's neither any need for going fanless, nor for use a Mugen 2 with an undervolted G620.
But if you wanna just play, then use the right toys: something like a Thermalright HR-02 Macho is better suited than a Mugen 2. IMO.

I currently already own Mugen 2 Rev. B and Ninja plus rev. B.
The Ninja goes in my AM3 gaming PC.

The Mugen 2 goes into one of the G620 machines, I'm considering getting now the Thermalrigh Macho for my other G620 build.

The cheapes good cooler I found was SD936, but it is 16e, the Macho is 33e, not a huge price difference especially as I can run Scythe Kama 140mm 500rpm on macho + 140mm Kama as exhaust
