Gammax 300 or 400?

[Rozen]

Hi everyone! I use a lot of software on my working PC, and I need a cooler for i7-8700k. Thinking about getting the Gammax 300 or maybe the 400. The PC works 24/7 with 95% of CPU load. Or perhaps it's better to buy something from bequiet! ?
Software that I use:
1.Skype
2.Trello.
3.WorkTime.
4.Blender.
5.3DMax.
6.Chrome (minimum of 10 tabs )

I've never heard of that brand... no idea how it performs for the money.

That said, I'd look at a cooler master Hyper 212 Evo for a similar price point. It will handle that CPU at stock and likely a bit of overclocking.

I once reviewed a DeepCool heatsink. Mounting was bad, fins thin. The Gammax 400 has 4 heatpipes. As owner of an i7 8700k I can tell you, you need six heatpipes, or 5 w/ one of them being 8mm.

To stay on-budget I would recommend a Reeven Ouranos. I reviewed one of those back in my i7 4790k days. It did well.
