What would be good cooler for Intel Core i7-4770 LGA 1150 w/Asus Motherboard Z87-DELUXE/QUAD &amp; memory: Ripjaws X Series F3-10666CL9D

I'm using a h100i because it's less clutter but for an air cooler probably go with a Noctua NH-D14 or Phanteks TC14P

yes I have the evga x79 dark with a i7 4820k as well water cooler pro 3.0 by thermaltake and it works very nicely, you can overclock it if you want but really is not a need for it. I suggest atleast 8gbs for anything you do though these days don't matter what kind of ram you got its just makes more sense :) gl

It depends on the clocks you want to run that CPU... for stocks and up to 4.4-4.6 may be OK (it also depends on the airflow in your case) for 24/7 usage, but if you aim to 5GHz and over, I would definitely suggest you water-cooling.

Yes, this cooler supports socket 1150. lga 1150 and lga 1155 can use the same coolers.

Yes, and it's awesome. Good choice on the 4770; I bought the 4771 and I can't overclock it =[.... good build!

Yes that processor will work. make sure you update the BIOS to prevent any issues. as far as coolers, it is hard to find this processor with a fan and heatsink.It is mostly found by itself. I would upgrade the cooler if you don't already have one. my stock cooler could not handle the load. it got hot and the fan could not cool it down. I personally went for the cooler master hyper 212 evo cooler. it works really well with this processor. make sure your case is wide enough though. the cooler barely fit in my case. it's an enermax hoplite st. hpoe this helps.

Hi there,Yes Sir, no problem at all.Alot of people will tell you that this processor is a beast of a CPU (true), but also that beadt will run smoothly with any liquid cooler (open or closed loop) in case of normal clocking. However, if you would like to unleash the full capacity of the beast then you should need a beast of a cooler to cool ot down.I hope i was useful.Regards, Ahmed E

Honestly with my thermal take case I kept the stock fan for my CPU because I have 3 200 mm fans, and 1 140 mm fan, it stays at a cool state and performs well with the i5 but if you have the i7 I would recommend the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heat Pipes (RR-B10-212P-G1).

This bracket will work for heatsinks compatible with AM3+ processor brackets. Do not think an LGA775 bracket will be compatible but I may be wrong. I would suggest getting a large heatsink with 1-2 fans, not liquid cooling. Liquid cooling will eventually clog and will destroy your cpu and motherboard and possibly your graphics card/ram/psu. Happened to me twice. Normal heatsinks and fans are the way to go.

I got mine up to 4.7 and kept it below those temps under load with the stock AMD closed loop liquid cooler. At 4.4Ghz mine stays under 55C under load, At 4.7 it stays around 65c under load, and at 5.0Ghz it can get as hot as 75c under load. 4.7ghz is 100% stable but 5.0ghz isn't exactly stable but I haven't done a ton of tweaking with the voltages and my cooler is only the AMD 120mm closed loop liquid cooler in push-pull so it's not top of the line by anymeans. Keep in mind just because mine acts this way it doesn't mean everyones will, every piece of silicon is different and there are so many variables such as what cooler you have, how good of airflow you have, how well you applied the thermal paste, and what kind of thermal paste you're using.

Liquid cooling is best with this particular motherboard. Yet, it all comes down with what you are experienced with and personal preference. In my opinion, liquid cooling really brings out all the potential in this motherboard. For beginners in the water cooling side I would purchase a h100i or an nzxt kraken. This board comes with most everything you would need for sli and etc. Getting into detail It does has 4 dimm slots and 16+ gb of ram (32 preferably) would suffice. It is a wonderful board in my build of which was built last November and still running strong. My best wishes, Joshua -- IT Expert

Personally I used the G.Skill Ripjaws X series ram. 8GB(2x4GB) DDR3-1600.No problems at all! Do mind the relatively high heat fins they have when you are looking at CPU coolers, if you plan on doing liquid cooled then you should be fine.

It is trully hard to give an honest answer to this question. some manufactors make propriety coolers and what would appear to work does not. my board is listed as having an fm2 socket therefore i assumed this cooler was compatible through no fault of the coolers it turns out that instead of and amd fm2 i needed and intel 1150. if you are unsure, first take some measurements look at how the old one attaches do a little research on the interent and worse case scenario opt for just the fan replacement if you can make do with that instead.'

Worked for my I7-3770K - make sure you install it such that the airflow works within your case. I can't remember how to check but I think it had something to do with the direction of the cooler master logo - I think the ideal setup is to have the airflow exiting out of the rear of the PC. Idle temps around 40, load at 50-60.

Yeap, this cooler suite great to LGA1150.But you should be careful, it's huge, check that you have enough space in your PC.

Yes. LGA 1150 socket chips have the same architecture for cooling options as LGA 1155.

Hi Michael, Get this cooler! It's fantastic! It only comes with 1 fan. You can buy an optional 120mm fan on the opposite side. With my 8350 idle temps are 34c. If i rip or if the processor is getting used my temps get to around 65c. That's excellent!!! The sound isn't even loud at all. It sounds like a stock fan in a store bought PC. To answer your questions. Get this fan and heat sink if you don't want water cooling. The performance is fantastic!!! No worries at all!!!
