*BeQuiet*: Lets send Jay a couple of coolers to show!
*Jay*: The thing I like most is the Screwdriver!

[abdullah]

I'm gonna be honest Jay, this felt like a paid promotion rather than an informative video, there were basically just two tips in here.

Best thing about Air cooling? You instantly hear it if there is a problem, and can pretty accurately guess you temps just based on your fan speed. That, and if something fails, it's ALWAYS the fan, and you can replace the fan pretty cheap, with little to no technical skills required. As opposed to watercooling, where you have to actually disassemble things.

Wish there was some more talk about stock vs third party

I came here to know how to choose the right cooler and all I got was this be quiet! ad

[RexxReviews]

I purchased that Screw Driver from Bequiet! just for the free air cooler it comes with.

I ended up building a new PC because I randomly stumbled into one of your videos back in 2017. Inspiration!

[laszlosarkozi]

I like your videos man. Too bad we did not get to see how the low profile coolers perform(That's the part I was interested in).

Jay: I'm known as the watercooling guru on YouTube

Linus: hold my network switch

The best kill is an overkill. I always go for the tier above the one I expect I need. It has added benefits of not needing to spin up as often or as fast to get level of cooling required meaning a more quiet pc and in times of hot weather or beefy overclocks you still got plenty of headroom to work with.

TBH the Ryzen stock coolers especially the Wraiths are actually pretty decent coolers.

One mistake some people make with the dark rock pro 4 when installing it with AM4 is installing the 4 rubber o-rings before installing the posts. Those rings are for AM3 only.
This causes the cooler to sit to high and doesn’t come in contact with the IHS correctly. I couldn’t tell if Jay used it, but obviously he’s Jay. I’ve made this mistake myself as well as most install videos out there. FYI.

Dark rocks sold out in a bunch of places online since this video. Nice job

[Bularistano]

Having all coolers at once, why dont you make a test with all of them, to show their performance. I know it will be tedious but it will be a nice showcase.

[chenshilongsun]

You showed performance of 1 cooler. How is this a “How to choose” video???

[KingEatable]

I am going to build my first PC in a couple weeks when all the parts arrive ( you and Linus have really helped with that ) and this video came out as I was looking for a good air cooler. Thanks for making the choice much clearer. im getting the Dark Rock Pro 4.

[martouf]

I've had the Dark Rock Pro 4 cooling my 9900k since release. Works just as good if not better than any AIO. Also has the added benefit of cooling the RAM and VRM's because it blows air over them.
