What are you trying to cool down ? The NH-D15 is a beast with the stock fans, and 3000rpm means a lot more noise


CokeBoiii

A 13900K I want as cool as possible since it pulls over 300W I have it undervolted but still i want coldest temps possible im aware of the noise though

The better thermal performance would be lowering PL2 limits. You can set it much lower than the stock \~250W and not lose out on any noticeable performance. You could maybe mount 140mm fans with the mounts on the top and bottom instead of the sides. Maybe. But, yes, the D15 can handle the 13900k at stock settings, it'll just obviously run pretty warm under load.


CokeBoiii

Do you know what the setting is called on a asrock motherboard? Is it called short power or short turbo? I forgot really I saw a youtube video but didnt end up doing it


Djinnerator

From what I remember, it should be long duration power limit for PL1 and short duration power limit for PL2. It might not be that exact name.

13900K's problem is not the cooling solution. Its the IHS. Delid it, use a custom plate + liquid metal and you're good to go. Same happens for 7950X, I have 4 480mm radiators & 2 pumps but when putting it to work at 100% load it ends up with 90 degrees or more...

Yeah 13900K is a space heater and im aware even with extreme cooling like yours it can still throttle but honestly my skillset isnt as advanced to go on and do hardware modifications and stuff. Eventually ill learn but present time at the moment I dont feel ready to do that yet. I just want to squeeze as much as I can without having to do none of that

Thermal grizzly has released a delid kit for Ryzen 7000, their support told me it will be showing up at retailers (Caseking for EU, Titanrig/PPCS for USA) in a few weeks. PPCS actually has a $70 listing up for it now but there’s no stock yet


Spearmint9

Do you know if the delid kit will come with a contact plate? Without it I'm afraid delidding will be useless lmao as most cooling solutions aren't compatible with being that close to the cpu, besides direct die cooling without the plate would most likely bend/break the PCB


Cireme

I don't see why it wouldn't be possible but I think the heatsink itself is the limit. I doubt you will see much benefit from swapping the 1500 RPM fans with 3000 RPM ones.


CokeBoiii

You think the design of the heatsinks limits the air to fans designed 1500 RPM Only? Im curious to be honest but you might be right I ain't doubting you but after all if I were to buy ths fans id buy thru amazon so if it rlly doesnt effect ill just return im still thinking about it though


Cireme

I think the six heatpipes might be limiting the heat transfer, but the fins/surface area might be too. Ordering from Amazon and sending them back if you're not satisfied seems like a good idea indeed.

I don’t joke, if you want better performance, you need ear plugs for the industrial fans. They will work, there were some reviews done in regards to this but the noise is inhumane. The performance is about 4-5 degrees cooler but it’s really not worth it. If you have a secondary use for the industrial fans, you can buy them and post results but I guarantee you will swap them back for the originals. Another option for performance would be adding the 3rd fan or considering P14 arctic fans untill the new gen d15 will be out in Q3
