    Mobo - Cpu - Cooler

    I am using a Prime A320M-K mobo and i have recently ordered a Ryzen 7 1700x so i can upgrade my stream quality a bit.
    Since the 1700x doesn’t come with a cooler i need to buy a new one for it since my Ryzen 5 1400 cooler isn’t really a good option for it.
    I was looking into a Cooler Master Hyper H411R. Do you guys think this cooler is a good option for my specs? Is it gonna be loud (i don’t want any cooler noise on stream), is it gonna stay cool no matter what game am i streaming, is it gonna prevent overheating 100% and is it all around a decent option for my cpu to make it 100% worth to buy?
    Thanks in advance.

    The cooler is ok for what it costs and that is as much as we are able to safely answer for you without knowing a bit more about your computer and the environment in which it is used, the number and locations of any case fans fitted will affect how efficient a CPU cooler is as will good internal cable management and the room temperature where the computer is being used and even the material that the computer case is made from, plastic retains heat whereas steel gets rid of it and is able to cool down quicker.

    Can you tell us the brand and model name or number of the case, how many case fans you have and where they are located (front, back, top etc) in the case and do you live in a hot or cool climate.

      Okay from what i saw on the internet, my case model is Blueberry BC-V11.
      I honestly don’t know any other specs about it, i do live in a moderate climate though, not that strong winters or summers. Hope this helps!

        Not much info on the case but the homepage here suggests that you can only have the following chassis fans;

        1 x 8cm at side,
        1 x 8cm / 1x8cm/1x12cm on the rear.

        If you already have a rear chassis fan, is it powered direct from the PSU or the fan header on the MB.

          The only fan in my case that i am seeing in my case right now is the cpu’s fan, cooler, that is. Nothing else in it right now.
          Do you feel like i’ll need an additional fan or a complete new cooler for my Ryzen 7 1700x?

            What video card do you have.

            The specs for your case say that it ships with a 420W PSU, is that correct, this is important as pre fitted PSUs are not normally the best of quality and are known to generate heat.

            As part of your cooling upgrade path you should factor in at least the rear exhaust fan as a minimum, you are just going to have hot air circulating around inside of the case otherwise and this will start things overheating.

                An example 4 pin 12cm/120mm rear chassis fan here you should be ok with just one of these and the Cooler Master Hyper H411R, before making any purchase you need to confirm for yourself that there is room inside the case, some CPU fans can be quite large.
