Yes, I've been told this as well. Unfortunately, I had already bought the Noctua cooler by the time I heard about the Ventroo cooler. I'm not sure about performance on that one either.
Here it is for those interested.
its a step up from the stock cooler. any 120mm tower heatsink is going to be like $20 and the rest of what you're paying is for fans.
That's pretty high. I can guarantee you that getting even a 30 dollar cooler is going to help a ton. I benchmarked an older i7 that previously had temperature issues using prime95 and was maxing out at 65 degrees Celsius. It's worth the 30 dollars to just get one of these: ventroo v5. It's well reviewed
Random note your cpu cooler is totally overkill. There’s been a lot of hype recently surrounding the Vetroo V5. HardwareCanucks and Jayz2Cents both reviewed it very highly. Save yourself $55

You could also just use the stock cooler and be fine.
first, you should buy an aftermarket cpu cooler. something inexpensive like the vetroo v5 seems like a good option
but for airflow, it all depends on your case. if your case comes with like 3 fans, like the be quiet 500DX, then you're good with what comes with your case. if your case just has 1 rear exhaust, it would help to add a couple
The stock cooler on the 5600X is not good enough, really. You'll be leaving a ton of performance on the table with it.
Try to secure a cheap/free Wraith Prism cooler from another user/builder who don't need it - I often see this happen, where they have aftermarket solutions and don't want the stock one at all.
You could also get a better cooler. Others have recommended some budget options, like the Arctic Freezer 34, but you can also try the Vetroo V5, which was reviewed by Jayztwocents and performed quite well.
Alternative, you could spend more for more, get something like the be quiet Dark Rock 4, or the big daddy NH-D15, the NH-U12S, or the NH-U14S, all of which comes in chromax.black.
Curious.
We know that the 212 is only rated for about 120w, but that shouldn't be an issue depending on the case. Anyway, here's the unit that our clients purchase when they order a 5800X.
It has five heat tubes, so it's good for 150 Watts. And it has a discount coupon currently, imagine that.
I don't know if my cl40 is "bottlenecking it". Maybe my csgo would have even higher frame rates with a faster ram? Nevertheless it's still faster than my 12700k
I have a Vetroo V5 , an entry level cooler got it for $30. Ur noctua should be better. U should check ur cooler has the right mounting brackets for am5
The core i got was the i7 12700k it didnt come with a cooler, so i bought the vetroo v5 cpu cooler. cooler

I know this comes well recommended for the price but I found the build quality especially poor compared to the (in the UK) similarly priced Hyper 212 and Pure Rock 2. Installing it was fine but I'm fairly sure one of the sprung screws is broke while fastening it (keep spinning in place). Kept the 12600K cool though.
Get the Vetroo V5: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08F21X2VP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Amazing performance for the price, 5 heat pipes and RGB fan if you want use their fan. I had 36-37 idle and maybe 68, 69 max load on my 3600. I'm using this on 5800X3D now and it's still great, though a little hotter but understandable because of its TDP being at 105W compared to 65W.
You don't need to spend much money on expensive cooler for 3600, it doesn't generate enough heat to see the massive difference
The only thing that COULD be an issue is the cooler. Although it should come with the correct mounting hardware, take this one instead (you can turn the lighting off) as it's advertised specifically for having the correct mounting hardware in the box: https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?crid=34IQ7GNHUW47K&keywords=lga+1700+cpu+cooler&qid=1650725976&sprefix=lga+1700%2Caps%2C175&sr=8-9
I looked up a Vetroo V5 on Amazon and seen this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F21X2VP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_AYTPJW6G9RVSJCC81RWB
Would this fit on the motherboard that’s in my build? Also thanks for the GPU suggestion, I’ll have to look into that one!
Switch to this cooler and you should be in a better place https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/ref=sr\_1\_9?crid=1IJ2WMVFWV5DI&keywords=lga+1700+cpu+cooler&qid=1650400652&sprefix=lga+1700+cpu%2Caps%2C84&sr=8-9

Vetroo V5, $35 & keeps my 5600x at 22C when idle (using a Corsair 4000d case). Comes with 4 fan clips so that you can add another 120mm fan to the other side of the cooer for push/pull.
If you want a cheap air cooler with some good professional reviews, and comes with the LGA 1700 mounting hardware, the Vetroo V5.
Here is an Amazon link to it, and you can see it listing direct LGA 1700 support: https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP
Okay so looking at the pc you have (I'm not able to find exact case dimensions) I'm guessing it's able to fit a cooler called "Vetroo v5 cpu air cooler" you can find it on amazon (I'm guessing you're from NA since you go to microcenter) it's only 35 bucks and the cooler is really good. I'm not sure if I can leave a link, if I can it will be in this comment:
anything is better than that, I bought it for a 11400F. Before 85c and now 65c max
For the CPU cooler, get the Vetroo V5 for $30. It looks good, is more than capable of keeping the 10400 under control, and you really can't beat the performance for the price.
The vetroo v5 is a popular one that still fit that’s case which is a fairly good rated heat sink. It’s $30 on Amazon right now

This person knows what's up. Unless you absolutely need the slight advantage of the NH-D15 and just want it bc noctua is a great company wrt customer service, the Scythe Fuma 2 is basically tied for best performance and absolutely takes the trophy for best bang for your buck air cooler. It's probably a bit more than strictly necessary for a 5600x, but your only other options would be single towers like a 212 variant (I no longer really see them for ~$30 these days), or maybe this relatively new excellent-for-the-price option: https://amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP
Hey couple more questions if you have a sec-
What ram does it use? I wanna buy another 16 gb stick for dual channel but need to make sure it’s the same model.
Do you think this cpu cooler will fit? I saw someone else on this threat mention it so thought maybe I could use it and save a few bucks over the shadow rock.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F21X2VP?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
And no case fan needed?
Thanks
If you're on a tight budget, the stock intel cooler that comes with the i5-11400f works fine. Worst case you don't buy an aftermarket cooler and deal with a louder-than-you'd-like system for a bit while you go spend some of that money you didn't initially.
If you find the stock cooler not good enough for the case or ambient temperature, you can buy something like a Vetroo V5 to replace it. I recently did a 10400f build with one and it was near silent after some fan curve adjustments at stock speed.
The stock cooler is fine in that it will keep the CPU cool, just can be a bit loud and does not provide much OC headroom. If you want a upgrade for not a lot of money this cooler:https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP is pretty good. It hovers around 25-30 dollars and is comparable to the the NH-U12S Redux (which is currently about $25 more). If you want to spend more on the cooler the Scythe Fuma 2 is really good as well, but costs about $60.
If you are fine with the current noise levels your PC is outputting no real need to upgrade, but the biggest advantage of going to aftermarket coolers is that you can run fans quieter and get the same level of performance.
Yeah the stock cooler will do great. Can always spring the $25 on Vetroo V5. I did for a recent build with the 10400 just to keep it quieter and have more air "Moving" through my case with 5 drives. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08F21X2VP/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_asin\_title\_o02\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
There's also this deal with coupon ($26):
https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP
RGB swag and cooler enough to keep your 3600 cozy.
This deal is also very likely to be an improvement over the stock cooler (but since you offered $10 more…).
Thanks a lot! I found this one which says LGa 1700 compatible so I guess it works or would that also require buying a mounting bracket?
because even the manufacturer wants you to upgrade it…
Installing mine was also a pain in the ass. I insist the screws didn’t line up perfectly with the holes. I recommend spending 30 more dollars and getting a real cooler though. Here’s what I upgraded to if you’re interested. Works great, even with a light OC

The Vetroo V5? It's a little more than what you're looking at but I've heard good things about it. It's also 148mm tall with a 120mm fan.
Thanks, sadly cooler mlmaster 212 don't ship here. if i do pick something similar to it but I don't think it'll fit to the case (Cyberpower onyxia II) ?
Given the current overinflated state of the GPU market, I can't recommend anything other than sitting tight with your 1660 Super. No need to upgrade your Ryzen 3600 or RAM either.
One thing you might want to consider is buying an aftermarket CPU cooler, as to lower the processor temps and have lower fan noise levels. Something like a Vetroo V5 would be a cost-effective choice.
I just used this for my stock 5600x and it is pretty damn quiet in my rig

The CPU is great, the 11400F is fantastic for gaming. Yes, the cooler is terrible as you'll find in most prebuilts, but I don't think you'll reach thermal throttling. If you want more comfortable temps, I'd highly recommend the Vetroo V5 - highly efficient and a great price.
PSU's included in prebuilts tend to be kind of crappy, but honestly if you aren't doing any overclocking or high-power-demand tasks on this PC then it should be fine.
ABS is Newegg's own brand. They're among the better value brands when it comes to prebuilts, the other being Skytech. This one in particular looks pretty good in terms of value.
All in all, pretty good compared to other prebuilts out there.
Looks great. The A2000 is a great drive at that price, the upgrade to a SN750 or 980 would be ~$150. Much better than the cheaper SN550 as the A2000 has a dram cache.
My only tiny suggestion would be to grab a Vetroo V5 for $40 instead for the CPU cooler, the extra heat pipe gives you better cooling overhead. However I have heard that the fan can spin up to be a little loud so the beQuiet cooler might be a better option if you aren't stressing the CPU much.
> Vetroo V5
it seems available on amazon.ca but more pricy than 212 black rgb: https://www.amazon.ca/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP
Also the 212 seems to be on sale +/- once per month or 2 months so I would probably grab it next time I see it on rebate
I would recommend wiring the fans into a molex connector like another commenter pointed out.
Also, get a tower cooler for the cpu. I know you're stayed for cash at the moment, but even a $25 tower cooler will be a big upgrade over the stock heatsink. Maybe you could get a used hyper 212 for cheap locally. Or something like this for $30
Don't get an AIO, they are inferior to air coolers at any reasonable price point. The Arctic Esports 34 Duo cools like a beast and is 45 dollars. Another good one is the Ventroo V5 which is 30 dollars. Just installed it on a system with an i7 6700k, bench marked it for 5 minutes with Prime95 and it pretty much held steady at 60 degrees Celsius, kissed 65 degrees for a split second and came back down.
Linus tech tips did a video on air coolers vs liquid coolers and overall, air coolers won by a decent margin. They are also simple and easily fixable while an AIO will eventually die. Jayz 2 cents did a review of this thing and it beat his 250mm aio by like 7 or 8 degrees Celsius.
Use the extra money to ask for 2 things for your birthday or something lol
Understandable
No, didn't make much of a difference for most people
Looks good to me
This 120mm fan cooler is 148mm in height https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F21X2VP?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1
Yes, the 5600x is a low power draw cpu and the power supply you have selected is high quality.
Maybe yes maybe no... Hard to say without testing although it would most likely be fine. More fans could allow for lower speed and noise and lower temps though
Ensure your side fans are set to intake. You should be able to see the motor side of the fans and not just the blades. Or just take the side panel off and feel the airflow. Unfortunately the CPU heatsink is woefully undersized and ill-equipped to handle that processor. You need to buy a new one and install it. It's easy. Check YouTube for CPU heatsink replacement. There's this great one on Amazon for cheap that's actually a great bang for buck one.

Hey all, JayzTwoCents did a video on the Vetroo V5 air cooler back in February and I'm considering getting it, does anyone have any experience with this cooler? Thanks!
yeah, a simple tower cooler is more than enough. like this one looks nice and is affordable
I'm not sure what you mean by quality, but different CPUs produce different temperatures depending on the number of cores and manufacturing process. However that is less important than having a good cooling solution. A good liquid cooler will keep even the hottest CPU under 60C. Your factory cooler's performance is terrible and upgrading to something cheap like https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP will improve your temps significantly. However in your case I would recommend buying a new CPU regardless because the 3400G will really bottleneck the 3070 which is a very sad sight.
Here’s another similar cooler to the 212 which you might be able to get for cheaper than the 212(mine has a $10 Amazon coupon showing up) https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=vetroo+v5&qid=1615388949&sprefix=vetroo+&sr=8-3 It was just reviewed by Jayztwocents so you can check out that vide on it if you want
This is another similar one https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=vetroo%2Bcpu%2Bcooler&qid=1614044376&sprefix=vetroo&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&smid=A1794LNB45RS88&spLa=ZW... it’s not from as big a brand, but youtuber jayztwocents just reviewed it and liked it
Do you know how the Vetroo V5 compares to those other ones you mentioned? It's a noticeable price cut below the others but appears to be essentially the same general design.
Yes it has thermal issues and only comes with one stick of RAM. Here’s a parts list I used to solve both those problems.
Cpu cooler $30
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08F21X2VP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_BSD6591ZE5KD5552H0E4
Fan splitter $9:
Intake Fan $4:
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00NMXE90E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_87WNQKGT51GBEZE0S054
RAM $67
For the intake fan you’ll need to remove the hard drive cage at the front, which is easy to do.
https://imgur.com/gallery/oaWeiVc
The white fan in the image gallery is the intake I added. The smaller fan next to it I pulled off the cpu cooler that came with the dell. You can’t screw them in, just secure them with zip ties. You can also buy a second 92mm fan to replace the exhaust if you’d like, as the exhaust that comes with it is only 80mm.
You can sell the RAM that came with the computer for about 40USD on eBay once you replace it.
Also reinstall windows to remove their bloatware.
Vetro v5, five heatpipes, in black or white ARGB, performs close to this and is currently 25$
I upgraded the cooling for thing for ~$50 and it runs very cool and fast. You could put an AIO in there but I am very happy with my air cooler.
Ventroo v5 screws right in
I keep wanting to reach out and spend more money, which is a sign I should stop, take a deep breath and sit on myself. So taking another look, three roughly $-equal quibbles and the one big question.
Quibbles:
1) So this thread commends your choice of the MSI, but recommends the Aorus Pro motherboard for $10 more. Having built 2 Aorus cases in the last 3 months, I would agree with that choice unless there's a specific reason you want MSI or $10 is actually back-breaking.
2) For example, you could make up the $10 with a Vetroo V5
3) Why are you buying a 6-pack of 120mm fans when your case takes 3 140s? Actually for that matter, why are you buying a $60 case and $43 worth of fans when you could buy the P400a, a $90 RGB case that comes with 3 120mm RGB fans and slap a $10 Arctic P12 on the back for exhaust for the same price.
Or if you want to keep the P300a, get 3 P14's ($10 each or a 5-pack for $32) and slap a Phantreks Halo ($12 each) on all of them if you want the RGB.
Re the storage question....
Spinning Rust is actually bad. You should only be using spinning rust in 2021 for capacity reasons or "I know that I need sequential cold storage" reasons, probably on the long end of a network connection (NAS). The best investment you can make is moving from spinning to even SATA SSD for random read reasons. For $50 more....
1) Toss that drive and up it to a 2 TB NVMe SSD of the same model. (Preferred, don't think about storage locations at all)
2) Grab a Sata *SSD* for $100. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073SBQMCX/
You'll thank me when it doesn't take a full minute for certain game levels to load.
Rock on. The Vetroo V5 and the Aresgame are both listed as $30 now, but frequently drop to $20-25 on ebay, etc.
I love this computer. It’s a great deal and is serving me well.
I upgraded the cooling for thing for ~$50 and it runs very cool and fast. You could put an AIO in there but I am very happy with my air cooler.
I agree. Get a good ~$40 air cooler to make it a happy chip. Jayztwocents has a lot of good things to say about this guy:

thanks so much for the guide. I was able to update to microcode 0x40 using this. I didn't run any before or after benchmarks.
I've already modded the case by adding 3 120mm fans (was $5.59 at prime day and they are decent fans - https://old.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/o73qw3/fan_3pcs_3in1_black_case_cooling_fan_120mm_quiet/) . I'm also adding the vetroo v5 cooler ($28 after coupon https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP ) which another redditor recommended for this case, and some cheap RAM heatsinks just for completeness (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073QKMH4 - $10.99).
This is the guide someone posted for taking apart the case. I didn't have to go nearly as far, I never disconnected any cables and was able to pop off the front and top to screw and ziptie the 3 new fans: https://imgur.com/a/O5VdWuY
Between the microcode update and all of the updated cooling for less than $50 I think I came out ahead for this build
Highly recommend the Vetroo V5, works great and fits easily in the NR200. I have one in one of my builds and it works amazingly.
https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/
If you want a good value rgb cooler, the vetroo v5 would work well with that cpu.
https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/
I bought a dell XPS which had similar problems and this is how I fixed it.
A Ventroo v5 ($27 on amazon) will fit your cpu and greatly improve thermals. It comes with thermal paste.
There is probably a removable hard drive bay at the front of the case you can take out and zip tie some fans up front. I reused the small fan from the cpu cooler as one of the two intakes I installed.
Get a 3 way 4 pin fan splitter ($8 on amazon) since, if your mobo is like mine, it won’t have enough places to plug in your fans.
Any ddr4 RAM should fit that motherboard
Looks good, for the cooler there are better options that are also cheaper.
My choice would be the ventroo v5. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F21X2VP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_ZHBSM37V5K4MGWE3EY4Y?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
An even larger/better option would be the aresgame https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JCG2V6P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_XNEW12EPQ4EPXMMF45HC
But since it is larger, it may not fit in your case. You’d have to confirm the dimensions. The ventroo v5 is more than enough cooler for your cpu though.
yes on the cpu cooler since this one thermothrottles. the vetroo for $20-25 will let you get max performance. there's a video from dawid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej89Y1kpFBo

a cpu cooler upgrade wouldnt go amiss. like the vertoo v5 would be sufficient, or hyper 212 black, or be quiet slim 2. https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/ref=asc_df_B08F21X2VP/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=475750632217&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2603851393371739134&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvq...
if you want a bigger upgrade, and a more expensive one, you can get a 11400F and a b560 motherboard https://youtu.be/TyGFKCrnPM4
16GB of memory would be good, probably just replace what you have. 16GB kits of 3200mhz are $80.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Y8bhcT all in all, heres what i advise. plus if you can get your hand on a 3060, 3060ti, or 6700XT for under $500, that would be great. or a 2060/2060super for ~$400

you can actually go even cleaner:
Saw it recently on a jayztwocents video and figured I'd give it a shot, nothing crazy but a ton of value for the money
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F21X2VP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_D49B9XG4R2TG7H5FPCMT
Any 240mm+ AIO will work just fine.
Any air cooler would just need to be a tower cooler, preferably on the thicker side. Thin and low profile coolers wont be powerful enough to keep up 99% of the time.
These are about as cheap as I would go;
These are what I believe could be improved:
You're massively overpaying for the CPU cooler, the Hyper 212 is really outdated and you can find stuff like the Vetroo V5 for $55 less.
Replace the RAM with 3200MHzCL16 or better sticks, you'll get better performance with them on Ryzen.
Replace the PSU with a higher wattage one from this list.
Possibly replace the SSD with a good one from this list.
Otherwise, not a bad build. Good luck with your PC!
You've got some solid builds here but I wanna point out a few things:

Here's what I got for you. Black RGB airflow theme, great for 1080p gaming and Blender:
Let me know what you think :)
JayzTwoCents tested this one and it worked great, so I bought one for my kids PC and dropped his CPU temp close to 20 deg over the stock cooler. I have one im putting on mine soon that will replace the factory sub par AMD prism cooler. Mind you, neither of us do any OC'ing. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F21X2VP Its also a 5 pipe cooler so that helps some.
The prices from Amazon.ae were better, but I still wasn’t able to give you the build I wanted to give you for less than your 5000Dh budget.

I think the cpu election was great.
This cpu cooler will be way better than the stock cooler, it doesn’t have argb so yo could just not connect the red rgb or simply buy something like the Vetroo V5.
This motherboard is great, but the $110 one doesn’t have bluetooth and wifi, whereas this one does.
Just a little bit cheaper ram, same specs and performance.
The p31 Hynix is a better ssd than the Crucial p2 and it’s at a great price right now.
The 6600xt will give you around 15 more fps than the 6600 overall.
Great case.
Thus power supply is way cheaper and it’s B-tier. You could go for the Evga g6 650w which is A-tier but it’s $15 more.
You could go for the 6600 which is perfectly fine for 1080p already and it will be cheaper. If you want the 6600xt but want to save some money, go for 500gb ssd, that’s up to you. Hope this helps!
that case is so cool. like a micro-atx nr200

Here's what I got for you. Black RGB theme.
Yes, your university should give you a free license of Windows.
Let me know what you think think :)
You could go for an i5 12400f and B660 Motherboard for around $340. It’s a huge and not very expensive upgrade, however, you will probably need a cooler compatible with a lga 1700 socket, or i5 12400f in this case. You could also go for an i5 12600k for around $450, but that cpu will get very hot and you will probably have to spend a little more on the cooler, exceeding the $500 mark. In my opinion, the i5 12400f is more than enough for the rtx 3070ti and you will probably only see around 1-3 fps difference while gaming compared to the i5 12600k. Here are the links for the 12400f, the motherboard, and cpu cooler.
It’s up to you which cooler you want to use, the i5 12400f has a tdp of 65w so an air cooler it’s enough to keep it cool. Make sure that the cooler will fit in the case though, you can find the maximum cpu clearance height that will fit in the specs of your case. Hope this helps!
Ohhhhh these are Canadian prices. We can still do better for the money, though.

Cooler here - https://www.amazon.ca/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/?th=1
RGB airflow build. Great as a baseline for 1080p gaming, all you need to do is drop in a GPU, like an RX 6600 (XT if you want) or RTX 3060.
I also bumped up the SSD to 1 TB for more game storage.
Definitely avoid that Gigabyte PSU, but I don't know what's wrong with Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM.
Let me know what you think :)
there's no reason to get a Z590 motherboard with a 11400F, it's best paired with a B560 motherboard instead. a Z590 only makes sense if you want to overclock, which you can't do with the 11400F (only higher-end intel CPUs like a 12700K can be overclocked - the K means it can be overclocked)
Instead of the CPU and motherboard you have listed, I'd get a Ryzen 5 5600 and B550 motherboard, or an i5-12400F and B650 motherboard, depending on which ends up being best value for you. They have similar performance to each other and are a fair bit better than the 11400F, while being around the same price or only a little bit more than the 11400F + Z590.
You will probably want a separate cooler for the CPU as the stock coolers are not great - the Vetroo V5 is good value and will handle any of the options I've suggested. https://www.amazon.com.au/Vetroo-V5-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/
The Samsung SSD is overpriced for what you get, the WD 570 is better value and a little cheaper. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09HKDQ1RN
For motherboard you can go with any B550 board with 5600X same as X570 so don`t worry about it.MSI tomahawk is a good one.
Cooler is pretty bad for that price(was good 5 years ago but now it`s outdated) and there are more budget coolers at the same price that preform better https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP?th=1 like this.
Vetroo V5 is really cheap,has 5 heatpipes and preforms really good-only 35$
https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP?th=1
If you are not going to go for 5800x or 12700K or 12900K you really don`t need to spend more on an air cooler.
Probably can move stuff around to places with free shipping for same money or less increase than shipping costs. For cpu cooler https://www.ple.com.au/Products/639687/ID-COOLING-Sweden-Series-SE-224-XT-CPU-Cooler
Or with free shipping
https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B08F21X2VP/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_7D94NGSG59TWHTNAWVKV?
Both do a much better job than that Arctic.
Colour can't be changed on this one, but it's a bit cheaper and free shipping if you spend enough at centrecom.

Generally okay but some thoughts:
Overall - $300 cheaper while upgrading the RAM, SSD, and PSU. Also added more RGB and WiFi/BT. More compact case with better airflow. Near identical performance.
u/CableFar303 thoughts?
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/DvLRKp
This should be perfect for your needs.
Cooler - better value than non-RGB coolers. Good performance and noise. Available directly on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.ca/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/
Mobo - has all the connectivity you need and WiFi/BT.
RAM - 16 GB of fast 3600 MHx CL16 RAM.
SSD - 1 TB of fast NVMe storage.
Case - cheapest, good quality case on my "list". Good airflow, build quality, and straightforward to build in. Comes with two RGB fans.
PSU - high quality with fully modular cables to minimize cable clutter. 650W is perfect for these components, even with a moderate GPU OC.
Fan - extra for rear exhaust. Improves temps slightly and increases airflow while maintaining positive pressure to reduce dust buildup.
Let me know what you think :)
It should be fine at stock settings but I'd still get a slightly better cooler for peace of mind.
You could get something like the Arctic 34 esports DUO or ifyou don't mind spending a bit more the scythe fuma 2 rev b, especially if you plan on overclocking.
For performance a bit better than the 212 and cheaper you could get the vetroo v5
The specs you want don't really fit the budget - but they might also be a bit overkill for what you really need. For gaming there will be little difference between an i5 and i7, so that one is easy. GPU prices are still high, but a 6700XT is already a great 1440p card and available sub $500. There's still some room in the budget for a nice headset / speakers depending on your preference.

PS, pcpartpicker will say that the cooler and motherboard/CPU are not compatible, but they are as it ships with an LGA 1700 mounting kit.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like many CPU coolers support LGA 1700 out of the box or include the needed mounts. Here's what I found:
​
​
This one is known as a very good budget CPU cooler and the page says it's compatible with LGA-1700, but not whether it comes with the required hardware. I did find this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MLL7JHQ/ref=emc_b_5_t?th=1 which looks to be a mounting kit for that cooler on the LGA-1700 socket.
​
Noctua NH-U12S Redux: https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-U12S-Performance-Cooler-redux-1700/dp/B08WPDD6GD/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=cpu+cooler+lga+1700&qid=1651291220&sprefix=cpu+coole%2Caps%2C54&sr=8-15
​
Same thing here, it says it's compatible but not if the right hardware is included. The wording on the page seems a bit more promising, though. Noctua is THE quality brand of CPU coolers so this would be a good choice as well

You can build something like this. First thing I'd do is to hunt for a 3060ti locally. Check CC and Memex and see what they have in stock locally (as well as online store)
You can use that wiggle room towards extra case fans (perhaps ARGB) and RGB Ram kit instead.
Cooler is found here: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08F21X2VP/ref=twister_B08F2DGFT2?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 it should be sufficient for i7 at stock speed in future as well
Should be enough. I'd get a Vetroo V5 instead of the Hyper 212, not overpriced. https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/

Stock will be fine. Its only a 65 PSU. If you want something else, you don't need a high-end Noctua. This would be fine.

if it's within the budget. you should determine how much space you have in your case for a cooler. for instance, would a vetroo v5 fit? 148mm https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP
You really need more like $750-800 to build something serviceable without jumping into the used market.

If you want to save some money going 10th gen, you'd need to change the graphics card to a 1650 GDDR6, since the 6500XT is a turd on PCIe gen3.

You don't need to spend your entire budget to get a solid build around the RTX 3060 Ti.
You also don't need to spend so much on a case, but since you chose the Meshify 2 Compact in your original list, I wanted to keep it similar. In non-RGB builds, I prefer the non-tinted TG glass option so that's what I swapped it for.

Slight changes to u/Pants536's build:
Let me know what you think :)
Any chance you could return the H212 Black and get this Vetroo V5?
https://www.amazon.ca/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/
Cheaper, RGB (optional), better temps, quieter, similar aesthetic, LGA1700 compatible.
>I paid $60 CAD, which I'm honestly not sure if a good price or not
You slightly overpaid by Canadian pricing. It's a $50-$55 CAD cooler that has seen as low as $44-$45 CAD a few times before.
Here in the US, it's a $35-$45 USD($44-$56 CAD) cooler that has seen as low as $25 USD($31 CAD) before and has actually been hitting $30 USD($37 CAD) in March.
But this is not a fault by any means. It's the fact that so many other better options were available that could be considered a fault IMO. But I don't exactly consider your decision a fault. One, because I actually like the cooler a lot. Two, the thermals you'll get from it won't be super lower than its competitors.
I would like to know which Hyper 212 you got, there are actually a good dozen Hyper 212's on the market and they actually have quite a few differences, especially the fans. Did you get the LED, the EVO, the EVO V2, the Black Edition, the RGB Black Edition, etc, etc?
>there wasn't many options available locally
Why not buy online?
>I'm sure I could have done better
TBH, after just now looking at your other options online in Canada, it looks like every single cooler that I would consider as better at this price range would be over $60 CAD.
Thus, I simply cannot blame you for the decision you've made. I can only applaud you. Canada has always been super competitive when it comes to pricing PC components. Here in the US, it's a little different and when it comes to picking up quality components, they're a little more lenient.
There is but one cooler that I probably would have chosen over the Hyper 212, and that is the Vetroo V5 for $47 CAD. It is not listed on the market on PCPP in Canada, so maybe that's how you didn't find it. You would have simply known that it exists and manually searched it on Amazon in order to have gone with it.
>I'm hoping it will at least bring the temps down a little bit.
A Hyper 212 will dramatically improve your temps, the stock cooler sucks.
>I don't recall what it was clocking to under load when I tested last night, I will make a mental note to keep that in mind this evening and check!
Excellent!
Yeah that's cause I added it as a bundle at the bottom of the list - $150 for Ram and SSD together. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/K43gXL/placeholder
Go for the B660M-A Pro Wifi (changed it from the Gigabyte, the B660M-A Pro Wifi is cheaper and better) if you're not overclocking, it's more than enough for a 12600k(f) and you won't see a benefit from the Z board that's worth $70.
Don't think the Hyper 212 Black is really worth $45, the Vetroo v5 is only $35, has RGB, now supports LGA1700, and outperforms it. https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP
For fans, the MF Halos look nice but aren't as good as the Scythe ones. Here's a good balance of both - Scythe RGB Kaze Flex fans! https://www.amazon.com/Scythe-300-1800RPM-Controller-Included-Single/dp/B08FR3NMR3/
Vetroo V5 looks like they are now shipping out with LGA 1700
https://www.amazon.ca/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP?th=1
Performs slightly better than Hyper 212 and cheaper. I bought one before LGA 1700 so I can't confirm but it's advertised as such
I second this, list looks good just swap out that bronze PSU for some reputable 80+ gold one. CPU cooler as well. thisone is pretty highly talked about for a budget cooler.
If you have some time and really want to get to know more about what your buying and what the best cases, motherboards, ram, and everything else you can think of check out Gamers Nexus on YouTube. You can narrow it down a bit by searching "best CPU gamers Nexus" or w.e as there is a lot of content. LTT, Jayztwocents, hardware unboxed, exc are all also great choices.
Good luck!

Vetroo V5 is a decent option too, just as good performance as the Pure Rock 2 and its lga1700 compatible. https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/ comes in white or black for ~$30

This is under the assumption that this is primarily a gaming PC. If you have other purposes, let us know.
This is a black RGB themed build centered around airflow.
You've got a fast 6c/12t CPU along with 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB NVMe SSD. I kept the RTX 3060 and included a premium case with good airflow and cable management.
$800 cheaper with comparable performance in gaming.

Sorry, saved this post a couple days ago and forgot to comment. I think Airseller's build is good but it can do with some changes:
Overall - $40 cheaper while upgrading the cooler, mobo, SSD, case, and added a fan.
Let me know what you think :)
For a 12400, I'm very confident the budget vetroo v5 is already enough. GN has a review on that. In <$40 range you may also consider Arctic Freezer 34, also good performance. Or if you want your CPU to 'freeze' you can get the duo fan version of Arctic, or your choice of Fuma 2, or Dark rock pro.
It needs LGA1700 mounting kit, It might be available in box of cooler, If it's not u can buy it from manufacturers site, But that cooler is more than overkill for 12400F, Get cheaper cooler, As I see u are aiming for RGB, So get this cooler and mounting kit:
https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP
https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Premium-LGA1700-Mounting-Cooler/dp/B09MLL7JHQ
And this SSD is also better: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/N7zkcf/sabrent-1-tb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-sb-rocket-1tb
Here is a non RGB list with good parts. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zxtbtn
It can't be less than 1200$ unless you'll find GPU for better price. Do mind, Nvidia has released RTX 3050 and it should be available in few days, If you keep an eye on market, You could be able to buy it cheaper than 6600, Aldo 6600 is little better, 3050 is good as well, So if you find it 400$ or below, It'll be good option.
If you want RGB u can make few changes.
U can get RGB cooler, Buy this and this: https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP
https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Premium-LGA1700-Mounting-Cooler/dp/B09MLL7JHQ
RGB case, Aldo it's little expensive. Here's one example of case with RGB fans: https://www.amazon.com/Montech-AIR-Pre-Installed-ARGB-Motherboard/dp/B08QM89J3K?th=1
Or add RGB fans in H18 case: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rnBhP6/phanteks-ph-f120sk-50-cfm-120-mm-fans-3-pack-ph-f120sk_drgb_pwm_3p
You could also get RGB RAM: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Hsxbt6/adata-xpg-spectrix-d60g-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3200-memory-ax4u320038g16a-dt60
Here is your edit: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pwVTwc
Why not save 30$? You are getting GPU, So don't need integrated graphics.
RAM is too expensive.
Rocket Q is very bad QLC drive.
And G5 is good PSU, So save money on that as well.
And you need a cooler, Get Vetroo V5 from Amazon, It's not expensive and is very good quality + has RGB. P.S.
You have to buy those:

I'll put this here as a backup in case you can't go over budget with the other build by u/concealedreset (which is pretty damn good for the money in our current market) or if you want RGB.
The 5600G is capable of delivering 40-60 FPS in Genshin at 1080p low, and about 30 FPS in Apex 1080p low.
The build has RGB lighting throughout, and you can set the lighting to whatever colour you want. The case also has good airflow. The PSU is good enough to handle a low/midrange GPU in the future, up to an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6600 XT.
If you want, you can add an RGB air cooler to the CPU as well. It's optional, but it'll reduce temps and keep noise low.
The free version of Windows is your friend. It comes with 99% of the functionality of regular Windows 10 but with a watermark on the bottom right corner. Unnoticeable in games.

The Vetroo V5 outperforms the H212 RGB and gives aRGB instead of regular RGB.
The fan pack comes with 6 and they can be controlled on by the motherboard, though frankly ASRock's RGB control is pretty bad, so you could use the included remote.
The Gigabyte monitor has better value with good image quality and more features.
It's okay. Some thoughts:
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/vFPbsX
Overall - added more RGB and WiFi, improved airflow, cut $40 from your list. I don't think it's worth it over my original list but that's on you if you want to spend more on aesthetics.
The problem is your CPU cooler. It's extremely simple to install a new one. You can go to YouTube, and watch the exact video you need that would show you exactly how to install whatever CPU cooler you end up buying. You should really consider ordering a $30 Ventroo V5. It's a great cooler for the price. If you want something better, then order a Noctua NH-U12A Chromax or NH-U12S Chromax. These coolers should all come with thermal paste, so you don't have to worry about buying it separately. Honestly, you can get any tower style cooler and your CPU performance will literally be 100x better. You don't need to take the whole computer apart, just the side panel and back pannel. It should seriously take you 10 minutes, even if you have no idea what you are doing. Just read the instructions, and follow along with the installation video. I can tell you for a fact, just by looking at your average clock speed of 450mhz that your CPU cooler probably has zero mounting pressure or is missing thermal paste. I bet the thermal paste you found on the fan should had been on the cooler and CPU. You can fix this yourself with an Amazon order and 10-15 minutes of your time. It's really easy. I don't live in Canada, so I have no idea where to tell you to bring it, but you really don't need help with this. I promise it's something you can easily do yourself in 10-15 minutes. Seriously, some of the Noctua and other nicer, more expensive CPU Coolers even come with a screwdriver if you don't have one. I think the NH-D15 comes with a screwdriver. I will try to provide some links for you to some of the CPU coolers you can use to fix this problem. After you read this, go on YouTube and search for Noctua NH-U12S cooler installation, or Ventroo V5 Cooler installation. I promise none of these are difficult, and all you need is a screwdriver. You can do this. You do Not need to pay someone else. It's really easy. Links to coolers 👇

Amazon says their v5 is LGA1700 ready: https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP
It's not air coolers as a whole, but rather the 212 evo. It got a reputation as the best affordable cooler, so they started charging more for it. The Vetroo V5 for $30 is comparable in performance.
Having a MC near you is fantastic. I took a look at Brooklyn's inventory, and several 6600/xts are in stock. The 'theme' of the list is to use least budget with decent performance, to give room for GPU. I will give other parts and you can use the rest to buy a GPU.
1,CPU+MOBO. In order to fit in a $500 GPU in your budget, I will go with the Intel 10400. It's the best choice for budget gaming/browsing pc. 10400 and ASUS B460 Prime. Since you get another $20 off with bundle, this total comes to $224.98. PS: Just checked, the MOBO does not have usb-c header. Has two usb 3.2.
2,CPU cooler. Vetroo V5. Cheap but good cooler. You may need to turn off the RGB light or change to something like Arctic P12 to avoid rgb. $29.99
2,RAM. 16GB 3200c16 will be ideal for you. This kit should be ok. $54.99. It's red btw. The black one is like $9 more if you want that.
3,Storage. I think it's unnecessary to chase top of the line SSDs as you will not see much difference. I would choose capacity over the actual speed. This 1TB Intel 660p should be enough. $79.99
4,Case. I chose this Montech one. The airflow looks fine. It only supports up to m-ATX MOBO(like the one I picked) but it is a smaller case. And no RGB. You may want to add another p12 here as intake. $59.99
5,PSU. If you don't mind dealing with rebates. This corsair 650W PSU is enough. Even if you put in a 3070 there it should be fine(of course you cannot get one, no one can). $39.99.
The total comes to $489.93. Get two arctic fans like I mentioned above will add $14 to that. You will have near $500 for your GPU. If you can get some 6600 like this or this, you can keep total cost under $1000. ( the website shows limited stock so I am not sure if you can get there and still find one in stock, but any model of 6600(xt) under $500 can do!
I want to put them all in pcpartpicker to check the compatibility but I didn't find the case. However, since you do not have AIO/huge air cooler, you are probably fine. The case supports 161mm air cooler and v5 is 148mm.
So if you can gather all these. It will be a very good 1080p gaming machine. Good luck with GPU!
This might be really really overkill but it is probably the absolute max you can get with this budget. PCPartPicker Part List

Parts: CPU: The 12600k is an absolute unit of a processor, it has 6 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, making it great for multitasking and pretty much anything else you can do. 12th generation intel also has a huge single core performance boost, making it a really solid gaming cpu as well
Cooler: This was not available on pcpartpicker but I found it on amazon, the vetroo v5 is an amazing cooler for the price, able to handle 150 watt chips. A friend of mine recently got one and it was able to handle his 12 core 3900x no problem, barely hitting 80 degrees in cinebench
Motherboard: I'm not very familiar with z690 motherboards but this one from asrock had great reviews on newegg and was cheap, so why not?
RAM: Just a regular ripjaws 2x8gb 3200 cl16 kit, solid performance, not much more to be said
Storage: I went with a 512gb ssd from ADATA with a dram cache what you could use as a boot drive, and I also left some room in you budget so you can pick up a 20-25 dollar 1tb hard drive from ebay that you could store all of you larger files on
Case: The P300A is a good case with plenty of airflow
PSU: 600 watts is not a lot, but the 12600k only consumes around 100-110 watts at absolute full load, and paired with a 150 watt 970 you should be perfectly fine and have room for future upgrades as well

The link to the V5 cooler is clickable from the blue link above.
Hey thanks for the reply, so are you talking about this
Good spot, I agree with this choice. Also, seems like the Thermalright Assassin King 120 is also $42.99, so that’s another possible option if OP doesn’t want RGB
Vetroo v5: https://www.amazon.ca/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/

Double check HWMonitor, it might be able to tell you if your pump is reporting it's activity to your motherboard. If the computer was previously working fine and you haven't changed anything then it's highly likely the pump died. If the computer is no longer under warranty a Vetroo V5 is a solid $30 air cooler. Just check to make sure your case has clearance for it. There's a V3 if you need something smaller.
I have a few suggestions.
1) CPU cooler is fine, but why not have some more lights for the same price and still get same performance. Check out this one.
2)That case looks like it has terrible airflow. Something like this or similar is probably a slightly better option.
3) You don't have too, but 3600mhz ram is the ideal sweet spot for Ryzen. 3200 is perfectly fine though.

RGB and lots of airflow.
Move your 1 TB HDD over, you can sell your previous system as a whole.
Oh yeah, and the cooler is available directly on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.ca/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/ref=sr_1_1?crid=8HS3ARYW1431&keywords=vetroo+v5&qid=1637905627&sprefix=vetr%2Caps%2C167&sr=8-1
You'll notice the RGB throughout the system. The cooler and RAM are simply the best value, so I matched the case with it. If you want to go with no RGB, I would go with this case instead and add a fan for front intake.
And if you really want to wait for a better deal, if you're okay with the performance of the RX 580 right now, I can draft a list for that as well. I just figured you might want to skip the intermediate step.

The 4000MHz RAM may or may not be stable depending on the 5700G you roll. IMO it's worth a shot, and then if it doesn't work just return it to newegg (pay using paypal to ensure free return shipping).

Yeah definitely not worth $950. Here's a list with comparable parts.
Would recommend building it yourself if possible.
To answer your questions:
Let me know what you think :)
I think the Cooler Master Hyper 212 fits otherwise that one Jay did a review on https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08F21X2VP
The Vetroo V5 CPU cooler is $17 cheaper and just as good as the Hyper 212.
16GB Crucial Ballistix is only $2 more than the Corsair LPX, has better timings, and OCs extremely well. Alternatively, the 16GB TEAM Vulcan is on par with the LPX kit for $13 less.
Other than that, looks solid to me.

I'm going to compare this to u/nutano's Intel build but TLDR, this one has better value.
Overall - $50 cheaper with a faster CPU, a cooler, more SSD storage, a compact case, a higher quality PSU, and RGB all around.
Here's an equivalent AMD build, but I don't think it's worth it as it's only slightly faster than the Intel system for quite a bit more.
I got one last week too, I swapped out the guts into a NIB thermaltake case with a new cooler.
My biggest issue is that the wifi uses a M.2 slot (via adapter) and that the video card blocks the 1x and 8x slot so you would need to use a flex riser to use them.

Made it $100 cheaper:
You can fit some decent tower CPU coolers in there. That case has a max CPU cooler height of 158 mm.
Examples:
Pure Rock 2 (maybe). It's close on this one.
A lot of coolers come right up at that 158mm mark, so that's annoying.
I looked at B560 motherboards first, but none of them were as good at the $130 price point as that Z490-A Pro.
As for the stock cooler, hell no. As the owner of a "vanilla" 10700 (non-K) myself, I can tell you that a "Hyper 212"-class tower cooler like the Vetroo V5 is the bare minimum, with a Scythe Fuma 2 being a nice up-market choice.
For some better valued parts, I'd go with this: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/DVhXTJ
But if you want to spend, and since you have a gpu, you can also go for this https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/cDDvgt
For both options, id get this cooler over the 212 https://www.amazon.ca/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=vetroo+v5&qid=1635571526&sr=8-1
It's not strictly necessary, but buying a $30 Vetroo V5 cooler would provide lower CPU temps and have less fan noise overall.
This is what I was able to come up with for that budget, with currently accessible parts. I don't really like it because there are better bundles available sometimes, but they sell out fast so I have to go with what's in stock right now. Also the built in board doesn't have wifi, so I had to add a card to give it to you throwing it a touch over budget (be sure to insert it in the lowest PCIe slot, yes it fits and works even though it's a giant slot). But despite my griping, this build will do everything you ask of it, and should do plenty fine at 1080p gaming. Added a 2TB drive for some bulk storage like you asked. The case has room for 3 more 3.5" hard drive (4 if you adapt the cd drive bay into a hard drive holder). Remember to turn on XMP for the RAM after it's built, plenty of youtube videos to help you with that if you don't know how.

You're not overclocking, and you don't have pcie Gen 4 storage, so an A520 board will do fine. Slightly less expensive RAM, SSD, PSU. Still all roughly the same quality.
In terms of right now, this will do fine. With a 1650 you can stick with the stock fan configuration. If you end up buying a 6800xt though, I would add fans to the bottom and upgrade your GPU cooler at that time too.
Nice upgrades would be faster 3600C16 RAM, 1TB drive (which you'll feel more necessary once you start installing more games), and the CPU cooler and fans I mentioned.
Here is a list with all my suggestions, just to see what that would look like. You can pick and choose to do some, all, or none of the changes.

Well, one of the 4 pins definitely snapped off. I'm wondering if I should get this for $27 used?
https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP
r/bapcsalescanada and r/bapccanada are good resources for component sales and build help respectively.
The 11400 is an excellent CPU but can be really hard to find at msrp in stock in Canada. The whole 11th gen lineup has been out of stock since a few days after launch and the 11600k/11700k has just started to come back into stock. It should be about $240-250, don't pay much more than that (amazon has it for $370!!). If you're considering paying $370, it makes much more sense to grab a 5600g for $330 which has a much better APU, or the 11600k for the same $370 for faster clock speed. You can also look at a similarly performing 10600k for $280 which will function about the same as the 11400.
All the intel 11th gens run hot and the stock coolers are crap so you'll need an upgrade. I'd grab the Vetroo V5 for $40 while its in stock/on sale (available in black or white). It's an excellent cooler. A cheaper alternative is the Gammax 400s which is only $20 but will be struggling a little bit and likely result in higher fan speeds and thus more noise.
The Corsair 4000D airflow is another case with similar looks to those two, but it also does not have an ODD bay. Very few modern cases do. The one that comes to mind is the full size NR600 or the micro-ATX NR400. The beQuiet Pure Base 600 might also work, but as the company name suggests it's focus is on quiet operation and not airflow. Still, solid quality case so it might be acceptable to you. You may have to look on amazon or kijiji for older or off-brand cases, I'd be sure to find a mesh front or side intake to facilitate cooling.
For the same price I'd grab the 500gb NVMe SN750 instead of a 250gb drive. Not sure whats going on with the $190 1tb SSD but that's just wrong, 1tb A2000 NVMe (cheapest with a dram cache) is like $117
Are you committed to building ITX? That's costing you a lot extra in the motherboard cost. If you're sticking with ITX, I'd look at the NR200P which is an excellent case for $80-90 right now (normally like $130+, comes with a riser and an optional glass panel so more options for the future). Unfortunately it would require a SFX PSU which also raises costs as well.
Might as well grab the X570 Aorus Pro from MemEx for $235, overkill but cheaper.
5600G could run well on a Vetroo V5 for $40.
500w is fine if you're certain you're not going to add a GPU in the future... I'd look at at least 650w so you can drop in a 3060ti when prices get back to normal. Either way, I'd probably pay $10 more for a plat efficiency A-tier, or a little less for the 550w Seasonic Focus Gold A-Tier.
This is how I would build it without going ITX: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/yXFYMv ($925)
Would this fan work?: https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/ref=psdc_11036281_t3_B00TBHYYFK
So I would replace the fan in there with this one? I am a beginner..
I cannot recommend this bad boy enough https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP
My bud runs it on his build and while gaming temps are around 40C.
Cool ARGB too! And quiet enough. 28 bucks…
Vetroo 5, has RGB, quiet and similar performance to noctua’s.
https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP
Currently less than 30 bucks with that 2 bucks off.
80°C is not hot... if you wanna drop your thermals, try using an aftermarket cooler. If you want a 20°C drop cheap, I suggest this 1.
Vetroo V5 CPU Air Cooler w/ 5... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F21X2VP?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
List of things to buy for this system:
Vetroo V5 - stock cooler is completely inadequate for the 11400. This cooler fits fine with the wonky mounting. https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP
Additional fans- stock airflow is mediocre, one single 80mm isn't great. You can add some 92mm fans (supported stock in the rear and with jerryrigging up front) to alleviate this some. 120mm is doable up front with a 3D printed part.
New RAM- 8GB in single channel is a joke if you're trying to game. This system should support DDR4-3200 speeds with the 11400, so you can also get a bit of a speed bump. Team T-Create Classics run 3200c22 without XMP and are fairly affordable. https://www.newegg.com/team-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820331603
Spend the $30, it'll be 100000% worth it. Look up jayz2cents on the review of the cooler i linked.
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/psCWkX
Here. Like other people have mentioned there is a fucking gigantic shortage at the moment, to the point that not only the pc industry has been affected but even the automobile industry, TV industry and Phone industry have suffered. Good news though, things are getting better.
The processor is a core i5-11400, great processor to performance, 6 cores, 12 threads, does well in gaming, generally considered as a great value/budget processor. The vetroo v5 is a great budget RGB cooler. You can buy it from Amazon for $40. It’s got 5 heatpipes and a fan so performance is good enough that it made itself into the top three in this roundup. The motherboard is a dirt cheap B560 board. On top of being the second cheapest it’s quite good for its price. You get a good upgrade path including 4 memory slots, 2 M.2 slots and 6 SATA. It’s VRMs are fine if you disable power limits so you won’t experience throttling and stuff in terms of power delivery and or overheating near the MOSFETs and stuff. The Asrock RGB software is ass but you can always use jacknet or something and at $113 there are little boards that provide this much value.
The memory is pretty fast, 3600MT/s CL18 isn’t quite as fast as CL16 but it’s better than 3200MT/s by a bit. It’s also got RGB and looks really pretty IMO. The SSD is a sort by cheapest pick, it’s dirt cheap with rock bottom pricing but it actually performs surprisingly well, though for gaming and general use this isn’t too important. You can also grab a 500GB SSD/2TB HDD setup. For the graphics card, your really looking at the best you can get for your budget. An rtx 3060 ti 8GB will be ideal, it’s an excellent performer and great value for $400 USD. It’s meant to cost like $550 CAD, not really the case. You can also look at the rtx 3060 though it is quite a step down from the 3060 <strong>ti</strong> and should cost $330 USD. AMD is also releasing their rx 6600 xt for $380 USD, no idea how that will perform but you can look out for it when it launches.
For the case, the one I went with is cheap, and has RGB fans and the airflow looks decent. There are tons of other options though, look into the phanteks P400A/P360A, lian li lancool II mesh and lancool 215 and the cooler master TD500 mesh. Those ones are all also good. You can just take a browse and see what you like. The power supply is the cheapest 650w gold certified fully modular PSU. Also a really good model too. It’s made by CWT, who also makes PSUs for Corsair. It’s got an A tier ranking here and 4/5 stars from toms hardware and a highly recommended from Techpowerup. 650w of power should be enough for all the GPUs you should be considering. A great deal for its price and much better than the competition can offer not just with its aggressive pricing but also with its great performance.
Anyways. That’s it, enjoy.
Something like these should be fine for you:

https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-RR-212S-20PK-R1-Contact-Silencio/dp/B07H25DYM3/ref=sr_1_1
Yeah, if op wants rgb I would get the vetroo v5 for $8 more
https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/
Yup, the one I included in the list should be fine.
This one on Amazon should be fine too, and it has a black finish as well as RGB.
I don't know how big you need, but this is the most recent budget brand name: https://www.amazon.com/Vetroo-Cooler-Processor-Universal-Addressable/dp/B08F21X2VP/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=vetroo&psr=PDAY&qid=1624302255&s=prime-day&sr=1-2
edit, also check out ID-Cooling and Gelid
Also, that cooler looks terrible. Even something affordable like this would be a big big upgrade:
FYI, you can get a good air cooler that is better than a stock cooler for $20-$25, so intel not coming with a stock cooler shouldn't matter.
Just keep an eye out on /r/buildapcsales. I personally bought this for $25, though it went down to $20 for a short while after mine had already arrived. CPU idle temps 35-37c, under load 70-75c. This one also regularly goes for $20 and seems to be the same performance as the one I bought.
If you are not hard against the prospect or had planned on upgrading the r5 3600 to a 5600x or otherwise down the line, then yes, replacing the cpu with a 11400 or 11400f and replacing the motherboard with a b560(like this) will increase performance a fair bit(PL= power limit, aio= aftermarket cooler).As well as getting a better cooler like a 224xt, gammaxx 400, vetroo v5 or any other 5 heatpipe copy.
You would have to set up some settings in the bios, like the cpu power limit and memory XMP. So you'll wan to watch some vids on how to do that if you don't know yet.
This one? Amazon
This one is good. Few small things:
Overall, the changes look like this - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fpBNwz
u/ahtMishell let me know what you think :)
nice choice with the 11500. It has a better igpu then the 11400, so it should provide a slightly less crap experience. Though it really is quite slight, but considering the market, may be worth it.
The s12III series are prone to coil whine, in part to the dual mag amp secondary design. So if noise is a concern, you may to give it a pass. I'd personally look into the evga BQ as a minimum, though it being double forward on the primary side can also be prone to coil whine, just not as common as the s12III.
I'd personally shave a few bucks off and opt for a gammaxx 400 v2, or vetroo v5 air cooler.
Here is a good one on amazon that's readily available in black/white.

I can't tell how much of a difference a new cooler will make, but if you're looking for a cheaper alternative consider this CPU Cooler that JayzTwoCents reviewed yesterday that was able to cool a 5900X.
