Cooling Cooling for 3900x in NCASE
- Thread starter jrs123

I think the general consensus on optimized air cooling is the Noctua NH-U9S with 2 or 3 92mm fans blowing air out the back, and a 120mm fan mounted on the front half of the side bracket as intake. No idea how it'll cool a 3900. If you want more than that you're looking at a 240mm AIO.
Fair enough. In that case go with the C14 or Silver Arrow 130.
Silver Arrow 130 worked really good for me in the Ncase M1.
I had to upgrade from the Noctua U9S, it couldn't cool the 3900x, even at stock speeds.
That being said.. why would you overclock the 3900x, it's pretty pointless.
It's pretty much pushing the limits of an Ncase M1 at stock.

Silver Arrow 130 vs C14S
Another good heatsink is TR Assassin King AK120 MINI (135mm height)
3900X 4.1 GHz FPU 20min 80°C: https://post.smzdm.com/p/a830ooo0/

NH-C14, NH-C14S and Dark Rock TF users should face up a problem that - not all the ITX motherboards support the right angle that makes heatsink fins verticalize to rear case fan.
If the heatsink fins cannot be verticalized to rear case fan, then all the hot air cannot be exhausted actively.
