Which CPU cooler should I buy

[1 🌌 3989]

Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC Mate(MS-7850)
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790
Budget: 100eur

Currently I'm using the stock cooler.

There no locked cores or unlocked cores - the 4790 and 4790K are the same just that the 4790 has locked multiplier and the 4790K unlocked multiplier.

Both can overclock but only the K by changing the multiplier.

Also he can consider for a Corsair H45 Hydro with 120mm radiator, i'ts a very great choice for less budget and very great performance.

I have to add that most liquid cooling cpus are almost the same performance as the best air heatsink, and some have a very tight price. You should only go for a high end aio in case you wish to overclocking your cpu, just like as indicated by the guy above. (and your cpu does not support that for not having the unlocked cores).

You proberly had never a good air cooler not a 120mm AIO to compare it.
An Air-cooled like Noctua NH-D15 has the same performance of an 280 radiator. (NZXT Kraken X62 v2 one of the best 280mm AIO is 1-2C behind a Noctua NH-D15)
Unless you going for the look a 120mm AiO like the corsair one are massively outperformed by a tower cooler.

You don't need a liquid cooler for high overclock. I clocked my 7700K at 1.465V and 5.5GHz on a Noctua NH-D15.

An AiO only outperforms air coolers at 360mm radiators and those are only needed for HEDT.

I had one, it was precisely a Noctua NH-D15 and now a Corsair H115i (280mm), they really perform the same, but the difference between them is almost the same, just by being 1 to 3 degrees below the average temperature compared to the 120mm radiator , only that a water-cooled heatsink is more thought for the overclock without more. Another thing to add, my 5930K processor consumes more than yours TDP 140W vs 91W -.-' !! , therefore it is logical that you will achieve better temperatures, AND LMAAAAO 1,465 Vcore, are you crazy, you want to end the life of your processor suddenly, much sooner than expected? 1.4V already seems excessive in itself -.-

Why delete the post and spam everyone? Why not just edit the post and add the word '''EDIT :''' before what you're going to add on?

And, iirc, 1.46 or was it .43 was fine for Intel chips, well the older ones.
It wouldn't die before you needed to upgrade anyway.

Edit : I was wrong, 1.52v for 7700k, .4something must've been for 8th-9th gen.

Well, if they are the new cpus are fine, forgive my mistake.

1.52v is fine for 7th gen, so it's not going to kill it, at least any time soon. (If he still has the system lmao.)

I found a desk fan that was in my room, and it solved the problem.
