Dark rock pro 4 for 3700X - Worth getting?

[Ashleyjames98]

Hi,

I'm currently debating on whether or not to replace my current cooler with a dark rock pro 4 to cool my 3700X. Will the DRP 4 be enough to cool the 3700X?

Many thanks

Is this a PCSpecialist build cos they don't do that case or GPU?

It's initially from PCS, but they're parts I've upgraded to

Ah, ok....

Are you set on aircooling? I take it you're looking to a better cooler because of lacklustre boost frequencies?

An AIO would give significantly improved performance for around the same cost. Also much easier to fit than an aircooler.

I'd prefer an air cooler as I'm not a big fan of AIO/Liquid cooling, there were noctua coolers I've looked at as well but the DRP4 is more my budget (around 80GBP)

If it fits, it would definitely help. An AIO is always going to be better though.
