Hi guys,

Question: What will be the best type of cooling for me?

 

My build

Mother board: Asus ROG B450 E

GPU: Asus ROG Strix 1660 TI OC

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600

CPU Cooler: The one comes up with the CPU, i think its called wraith stealth? Correct me if I'm wrong.

RAM: Dual 8 GB 3200 Corsair

PSU: EVGA supernova gold+ 650
HDD: 2TB seagate baracuda

SSD: Patriot burst 240 GB

IMO water cooling is necessary when you're either running extreme overclock on high end CPU, or you have super high end CPU such as Ryzen 9 3950x. Even then there are air coolers capable of taming those beasts.

 

For your CPU, this is a great cooler. And its white.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus ROG Strix B650E / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Powercolor RX 7900 XTX Red Devil/ EVGA 750W GQ / NZXT H5 Flow

I'd use the stock air cooler.

Reviews say ryzen 3000 series don't have much overclocking headroom to begin with.

If you really want something white, go with PopsicleHustlers recommendation.

A brand new AIO with some kickass high end fans is awesome. But its not so awesome over time. Performance degrades, and you lose that edge. Then you start to see higher temps at X clock, and you just deal with it. But then it gets worse, and you have no choice but to lower voltage, but that means lowering clocks. Boooo. Performance with a high-end air cooler doesn't degrade. Its just big and bulky, and depending on the brand, there are concessions to be made. Big air is not for everyone, especially in this day and age. But its pretty effective. Especially if you employ brute force tactics.

AMD R7 5800X3D | Thermalright Aqua Elite 360, 3x TL- C12 Pro, 2x TL-K12, SYY-157
Asus Crosshair VIII Dark Hero | 4 x 8GB G.Skill Trident Z Mix @ 3733 14-14-14-34 1.5v
Zotac 4070 Ti Trinity OC @ 3045/1495 | WD SN850, SN850X, 2x SN770, Asus Hyper M.2
Seasonic Vertex GX-1000 | Fractal TorrentCompact | 1x Phanteks T30, 1x TL-B12, 1x TY-143
