What Redditors are Saying

Best Air Cooler for CPU

TL;DR

  • Noctua NH-D15 is widely regarded as the best traditional air cooler [5:6].
  • Deepcool AK620 offers excellent performance and value [5:3], [5:4].
  • Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 is a quieter alternative with good aesthetics [5:10].

Noctua NH-D15

The Noctua NH-D15 is often recommended as one of the top air coolers available. It is praised for its exceptional cooling performance, comparable to some liquid coolers like the Kraken AIO [5:9]. Users appreciate its reliability and effectiveness across various setups, including high-performance CPUs like the i7-12700k [4:10]. The NH-D15 also comes with a quality screwdriver, which users find convenient [5:7].

Deepcool AK620

The Deepcool AK620 is another highly recommended air cooler, noted for slightly better temperature management compared to the Noctua NH-D15 at similar noise levels [5:3]. Reviews and testing, such as those by Gamers Nexus, highlight its strong performance in terms of cooling efficiency [5:4]. It is considered a great option for those looking for effective cooling without breaking the bank [5:11].

Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4

For those prioritizing quieter operation and a sleek design, the Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 is a popular choice. Although it may offer slightly less cooling power than the NH-D15, its noise reduction capabilities and aesthetic appeal make it an attractive option for many builders [5:10]. It's easy to install and provides a balance between performance and quietness [5:1].

Other Options

Additional recommendations include the Thermalright Peerless Assassin and Frost Spirit models, which offer good performance and compatibility [4:4], [4:5]. The IceGiant ProSiphon Elite is mentioned as a high-end option available in the US, but the Deepcool AK620 is suggested as a more accessible alternative [5:5]. These options provide a range of choices depending on budget and specific cooling needs.

Maybe a hot take, but I don't really like live-action Ahsoka. I feel like she gets duller as a character the more we get from her in the live action.

Well here I am, firmly claiming that a show about Cassian fucking Andor is up there with the best shows of all time such as the Wire, Breaking Bad, and Deadwood. It's unreal, and I love it.

I’m not disparaging Star Wars. Ive been a fan for essentially my entire life, so I know the average quality of the franchise and how great of an exception Andor is. I also know what these industry organizations tend to nominate, and it’s usually not installments in long running franchises like Star Wars. I like the MCU too, but I don’t expect any of those movies or shows to win awards outside of a tech category here and there let alone awards for writing. All I meant was to celebrate Andor as an achievement, and hope Lucasfilm allows skilled creatives play in the universe with similar freedom to what Gilroy & co got to do with this show.

Bought this cooler 2 years back and this turns out one of my best purchase. I shifted to NCR 2 years back from Bangalore and bought this cooler to beat the Summers Heat and it really working like a charm till date. It helps me save both money and environment. Though I am not against AC but I think using coolers in dry summers in NCR will help dealing with power crisis. We should focus on using AC + Cooler. PS: I am little bit more inclined towards saving nature.

cyjake111 · 1 year ago

For the price of the deepcool assassin iv, i'd just get the nh-d15 or a be quiet dark pro 4. The performance of the deepcool and noise are just not comparable for how much they're charging.

My 7700x was being cooled by the assassin IV and even undervolted, it was just too loud. Switched it up to the nh-d15 and no issues with temps or noise since.

I think Tech Jesus did a video on this that basically confirmed my fears. it's such a cool looking design but just not up to standards of that price range.

Anyone use a "swamp cooler" (Evaporative cooler) in San Jose?

Posted by French87 · in r/SanJose · 4 years ago

My HOA won't allow window units hanging out the window, and I don't really have an ideal place to put the air conditioners that sit inside but use a window to vent.

So I'm looking at evaporative air coolers like THIS ONE but it says a full water tank only lasts for 4 hours?? it won't even get me through the night? It has an option to be connected directly to a water line, but that's not an option for me.

Anyone around here try any of these out or know of one that lasts longer?

Also, how effective are they in SJ? I read that their efficacy changes in different climates.

Swamp coolers are great when you're in an dry climate. San Jose gets hot and it can be dry at times, but the coast is just over the hill. Swamp coolers tend to be less effective when moisture is already in the air. They do work, I use to use one way back when and chuck ice in the bucket to help cool things off. Make sure you don't have the thing blowing on anything as the moisture will stick to surfaces and may cause a molding issue.

As others have mentioned in this thread, swamp coolers only work in dry climates and can get super gross with mold over time.

The Technology Connections Youtube channel has some great videos on the subject of swamp coolers and portable AC units.

(Discusses swamp coolers) Personal "air conditioners" aren't what they seem

(Discusses portable AC units) Portable Air Conditioners - Why you shouldn't like them

TL;DR: Don't get a portable AC unit with only one duct. Find a AC unit with ducts for BOTH outflow and inflow.

I haven't used one here, but they're common in NM. ABQ is 17% humidity right now.

The problem when I lived there was monsoon season (late summer) when the humidity would go up.

SJ is 41% right now. They'll still work, but will also make the air more humid inside. They're still functional until about 70% humidity.

In short, it will mostly work. But there will be times when it doesn't work very well.

Seconding this. I grew up in Alb and the humidity is very different. A swamp cooler worked great there (especially in our small adobe house) but definitely would be less effective here.

We currently use a stand alone A/C unit in the bedroom and living room which works well. The key is the time when you use it and try to naturally minimize how hot the rooms get with curtains, outside sun shades, etc. Edit: we have Honeywell A/C units

We had central AC but it was old and couldn't keep up with super hot days. I bought something like this and it did absolutely nothing to keep me cool. We ended up purchasing a portable ac (even though they are not really that portable) it worked great for us and they are not as big as you think. If you have a Costco membership definitely don't wait to purchase. People were buying quite a few yesterday. I did a lot of research I will tell you to stay away from LG. Honeywell is very solid and so is Hisense. If you can spend the extra $$ get dual hose much more efficient.

They aren't good at all. In a sealed room, it will do nothing to cool down the room. The area in front of it will get cool, but the room will heat up as a whole. Heat has to go somewhere and our cooling solutions just move it around.

A window or floor based AC unit or a mini split is the real way to go. Or, if you can't afford it, but can buy bags of ice cheap, a diy swamp cooler works. I made one for my dorm room 25 years ago and got through a terrible Missouri summer.

This looks like a swamp cooler. It cools the air by pushing it through a moist sponge thingy. They work only if you let the moist but now hot air escape, you either need to open a door or window or have a vent outside. They also raise the humidity, keep that in mind.

In case you have a hardware / home applliance store nearby, they might have a bigger better version.

note that swamp coolers work best in really dry climates. If you're German, a swamp cooler only works marginally in your climate and you'll need to fill it with ice blocks to notice any effect at all. Dont expect a room to drop more than 2-3 degrees C with a big unit. Something like the blower you listed will struggle to drop the temp even 1 degree in a 1x1m2 room

These work on the principle of evaporating water to have a slight cooling effect. As a side effect the air humidity increases which gives the perception that it’s getting hotter. Net effect is almost zero except in very dry climates.

The device Ali sells is really a tiny miniature version of a real cooler. So it will probably have no effect at all.

Zyada litre wala lega toh bhadna bhi nai hoga regular. Bada cooler is better imo.

Best Cooling Fan for small apartment

Posted by asucculentsmuse · in r/BuyItForLife · 4 years ago

I live in a 1-br apartment, older building so theres no AC — it gets hot here in California so when I get back from work, my apartment is way more humid inside then outside!!

Looking for a great cooling fan, somewhat nice looking — and Ive done a lot of research on Dyson but cant bring myself to paying $400-$600!! Theyre really asking for an arm and a leg for that

Hard disagree. I want to like their fans but they just don’t move as much air as cheaper alternatives. Not to mention I’ve had to warranty the one from my bedroom already but the $10 fan from home-depot just keeps running and I rarely even turn it off.

Amazon basics makes a very good vornado alike for like half the price too!! I use mine in California for my bedroom 10/10 would recommend :)

Might need to be more specific. Walmart/hardware stores/etc will have nice looking fans that put out a ton of air. Impeller fans like Dyson blade less are more common these days.

Personally I've found that I prefer old bulletproof vintage fans from yard sales and stuff. They put out a ton of air and look great.

If you look at new fans, look for the cubic feet per minute (CFM) number. The higher it is, the more air it blows.

Thank you for this! This was helpful, i didnt think about info on the cfm number.

Cooling fan thats not crazy loud on level 3, like the old school gym ones. I will look into walmart!

Also worth noting the larger the fan blades are, the quieter it will be.

Unfortunately I don't have any amazing recommendations, but definitely don't go for the Dyson. While they do look cool and generally are well built enough to last a while, the amount of air they move for their size and noise level really is just quite pathetic. This video has some interesting tests on their efficiency: https://youtu.be/dS0oFmzU06g

Buy a window AC? This way you can even keep it after you change rent

This is probably what I would do. A window ac unit and another big fan to circulate the air.

1 bedroom, no fan should be needed, sounds like a small living space. That window AC should be good enough.

Do NOT get portable AC's they are terrible at cooling and electricity efficiency.

Also don't buy Dyson or expensive brands if you rent you're most likely not rich so... Buy cheap stuff with good reviews on the net.

best air cooler

Key Considerations for Choosing the Best Air Cooler:

  1. Cooling Capacity: Look for the cooler’s CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) rating. A higher CFM indicates better airflow and cooling efficiency. For small rooms, aim for 1,000-2,000 CFM; for larger spaces, consider 2,000-4,000 CFM.

  2. Water Tank Size: A larger water tank means longer cooling times without needing to refill. Tanks of 5-10 gallons are common and can provide several hours of cooling.

  3. Energy Efficiency: Check the power consumption (watts) and look for models with energy-saving features. Evaporative coolers are generally more energy-efficient than traditional air conditioning units.

  4. Portability: If you need to move the cooler between rooms, consider a model with wheels and a lightweight design for easy transport.

  5. Humidity Levels: Air coolers work best in dry climates. If you live in a humid area, a traditional air conditioner may be more effective.

  6. Noise Level: Look for models with lower decibel ratings (below 60 dB) for quieter operation, especially if you plan to use it in a bedroom or office.

Recommendations:

  • Honeywell CO60PM: Great for larger spaces with a high CFM rating (up to 3,000 CFM) and a 15-gallon water tank, making it ideal for outdoor use or large rooms.
  • Luma Comfort EC110S: A compact and portable option with a 110 CFM rating, perfect for small rooms or personal use. It has a sleek design and is easy to move around.
  • Vornado Evap40: Known for its efficient airflow and quiet operation, it’s suitable for medium-sized rooms and has a 4-gallon tank for extended use.

Choosing the right air cooler depends on your specific needs, such as room size, climate, and portability requirements.
