  • Temperatures with intel's new i5-12400F AND I3-12100F box coolers today get tested in games, Cinebench R23 and idle. And shows that.... its hit and miss depending on the situation. I also put it up against the best value CPU cooler on the market.

    I have a couple of the dual-tower Snowman heatsinks and they're pretty damn good. The dual fan versions are wired to a single header and the fans are pretty average though, so I would recommend swapping out for some proper fans. Or go Noctua if you want nothing but the best. Budget heatsinks (Coolermaster Hyper 212 etc) have awful mounting solutions and they're dead to me.

    The same thing happened with AMD back in the day when they released their Athlon64 X2 series. The X2 series started with the LE-1620 cooler which was quite a thick thinned solid aluminum heatsink. With the 6000+ they just ran far to hot so they had to provide a new cooler which was the FAN-AM6000 heatsink. A proper thin finned design with copper vaper chambers and copper cold plate. I used the 6000+ cooler for years on AMD systems, since it fit on Phenom II CPU's as well, and it was just as good as aftermarket heatsinks of the early 2010's.

      This seems very similar to the one they bundled with Phenoms. It just uses a taller fan, which could have helped a lot. The Phenom ones were very noisy under load compared to a 9cm Noctua tower. Nowadays I actually prefer the C type Noctuas for ~120w loads.

It has the round bracket where you have to hook it in place.

    6:14 your external power meter measure the power without accounting for the VRM's efficieny loss, which happens by design as you step down from 12 volts to (let's say) 1.2 volts. so the software might actually be more accurate than your external power meter.

    Considering that my i5 4440's stock cooler was silent on my Asus H87M Pro, and very loud+hot on my Z97 Sabertooth MKII - it'll all depend on the motherboard as some of the default settings ridiculously increase power draw.

      ASUS seem to have slipped this feature on the ROG MAXIMUS series using BIOS 0811 (der8auer showed it was there on both the Apex & Hero boards) when coupled with a non-K CPU. Why anyone would spend that much money on a motherboard to couple it with an i5 12400 might be viewed as weird purchase decision.
      What I do find funny is raising the BLK is exactly how I used to overclock Intel 486 and AMD Athlon 64 CPUs as well as the obligatory downclocking the memory clock frequency to compensate... _everything old is new again._ Personally, I haven't used a locked CPU since the AMD Athlon 4400 (my first unlocked CPU was the AMD FX-60).

    It surprises me that the cooler is actually any better than the old ones. It always looked like the same thing and they added some plastic to make it look more modern. But I guess there must be another difference as it works while the others don't work. Maybe the old ones have mounting issues? Because it really really just looks like the same old pig with added lipstick. And that would be the exact thing I'd expect Intel to do.

    Just a thought (though maybe in reality this isn't relevant), if the Intel stock cooler on the 12400F has to spin fast to keep things under control, then perhaps the fan itself is using more power than the slower spinning fan on the Snowman under the same load? Grud knows whether it's possible to tell the difference though, or how large it would be. Perhaps feed the fan cables through a separate power monitor to see what they're pulling? I doubt it would account for much of the overall system power draw difference, but still something.

    • @_exilon_
      @_exilon_ 2 года назад +2

      @@techyescity The power draw difference between coolers is mostly because of boost voltage optimization which adds about 1.5mV per C increase in package temperature. Intel CPUs maintain boosts up to Tjmax and PL1/2 by ramping up the voltage rather than throttling back on the multiplier as temperature rises.
      As for VRM vs CPU power, unless you made sure LLC matches the DC loadline configuration of the CPU, we can't trust CPU power. The software CPU power is calculated using VID, temperature, and instructions mix executed so if VID is different from Vcore because LLC isn't set according to DC loadline, the power calculation will be inaccurate. Best to assume 90% VRM efficiency and go from there.

    At this point, they should have just removed the stock cooler in most SKUs to lower the cost and reduce e-waste. Sure some use it, but with Alder Lake, it's dangerously close to alert level temperature during production workloads and some games. Not to mention the humidity of some countries. I've seen so many Intel builds where the stock coolers were just being tossed aside, what's to say it's different now.

    Change the fan on the old Intel cooler to the new fan on the new Intel cooler. You'll see the added static pressure and perhaps cfm is where most of the improvements are. The other part is the weight and design of the new cooler. But the fan is mostly the improvement.
