What is Reddit's opinion of Macho Rev. B?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Thermalright Macho Rev B at Amazon for $49.90. Very nice cooler that can easily cool a much hotter cpu. Because the heatsink is large/effective, the fan can spin more slowly for less noise, and it’s already a very quiet unit. Also look at the Scythe Mugen 5 Rev B, but I believe it’s out of stock at amazon.

For case suggestions, actually look for a case with good airflow. A majority of the noise generated in cases come from fans when they spin fast - moving air creates noise, so finding a case that lets fans move air easily is helpful. Cases touted as being quiet often restrict airflow, which means fans have to sound faster and be louder to cool components.

Look at cases like the Fractal Meshify line and add PWM fans that let you run fans slower and then ramp up as needed.

You seem to be throwing money at this build (A $200+ motherboard for a build you aren't going to overclock?) but going very cheap on the cooler. The 212 will be adequate but I would steer you to this, it is easier to mount that the 212, cools close to as well as that AIO, and is only $50.

Its a heatsink that started its development as a passive cooler, but it does amazing with a fan. And because of its passive design, it doesn't require a ton of airflow. Meaning the fan can be run slow and quiet.

Thermalright Macho Rev. B is what I have on mine. Fits perfectly and was surprisingly easy to install.

20°C @ Idle & rarely goes above 50°C during gaming with a 3.8 OC @1.3V.

Wraith Spire should work fine, there is no need to overclock a 1800x anyways.

NZXT Kraken and Corsair H100 v2 are both nice, if tad bit overkill if you're not OCing (which on 1800x you don't need to do really as I mentioned). Just check and make sure, I think you have to contact NZXT and Corsair directly to get the separate AM4 bracket for both of those.

I personally went AIR this time, Noctua D15, because it was the first one to support AM4.. it's a giant cooler, and it works really nice, although a bit pricey.

Another option people have been raving about is this Thermalright Macho Rev B:

If I were doing it again I would have been deciding between the two, the Noctua and the Macho Rev B.

50 dollars is kind of hard since they don't perform that much better than an evo tier cooler. If you want something at that range something like the macho rev. B might be what you are looking for.

I think that heatsink is a bit small, but yeah, it'll do its job most of the time. Don't expect high clocks with that one though.

Personally I chose a larger heatsink, the predecessor of this, to be exact: http://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-814256001052-Macho-Rev-B/dp/B00PKJ21LW/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1448052438&sr=1-1&keywords=thermalright

This build will be certainly capable of displaying up to 144 fps. I think the reason why /u/Zent_Tech was suggesting 60 fps is because sometimes when a gamer says 60+ fps, they just want a 60 fps constant, and a 60hz monitor and a lower end gpu would provide a great gaming experience. However, many people swear by 144hz, and if you want to experience ridiculously high frame rates and silky smooth gameplay, the components here are the way to go. As for the cpu cooler, the 212 Evo is always a favorite, but I would also look at the thermalright. It is up there with the best air coolers in terms of performance and noise, and is a fraction of the cost. As for the case, Corsair makes very attractive cases, and cases are very subjective, so generally if you went for the case that looked the best to you from a reputable company, then you will be fine. I would recommend looking at the Fractal Define S though, I have it and love the noise dampening, and separate chambers for the hdd/ssd and the main components, meaning you get pretty much unrestricted airflow (No drive cages blocking airflow.)

The build will work fine! I would just go for a different cpu cooler, like the thermalright! Great performance, proietty much rivals the best air coolers in terms of performance/noise, and is great in terms of price-performance.

Ordered this already unfortunately! (Black nickeplated version)

'tis a beasty, not the most attractive thing though :(

I'm seeing two Macho Rev B's on Amazon for very different prices but can't quite see the difference.

This one

and

This one

Seems like they have different dimensions but I can't tell if they are actually identical or not. If it's the $80 one I may just go with the mugen rev b to save a bit more.

Will my Macho Rev. B fit my NZXT500? I assume so because on the website it says the NZXT 500 clearance is up to 165mm and the fan says the height is 162mm but was just wanting to make sure I'm not overlooking anything.

I'm having trouble finding a UK supplier for the Le Grand Macho RT. Could take longer than a week to arrive.

How does this compare to the D15 https://www.amazon.co.uk/ThermalRight-814256001052-Thermalright-Cooling-Device/dp/B00PKJ21LW?

With this you are way better than with a AIO. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PKJ21LW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_K8XlAbGB12AFS I run it on a Ryzen5 1600 @3,8Ghz nearly "dead silent" like 400rpm and less than 60°C under load.

Thermalright Macho Rev B would be a good option. A lot better than the H7 atleast

If you want a black and red case, a H440 or a eclipse p400 might be something to consider. H440 is one of the most popular cases for a reason - it looks great, and the eclipse p400 has integrated rgb leds! I have a Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3, and it is very very quiet, and looks great. Another one to consider is the Thermalright Macho Rev B, which is also very quiet.
