R5 3600 and CM ML240L

Is a Cooler master MasterLiquid ML240L enough for a Ryzen 5 3600 ?

Going to make a compact build and ML240L fits perfect 

Gonna play with some OC ..

Ehh I think it's a little over kill 

"Some oc" is very vague but an oc on ryzen chips doesn't bring a big performance benifits 

Just enable pbo and you will be fine 

If you want an aftermarket cooler 

Maybe an nhu12s is pretty good

But a 240 aio is pretty overkill

Well yes but  spending money on a cooler that costs almost 100 bucks rather than spending those 100 bucks for a better PSU or a better GPU  is not smart lmao

The r5 doesn't run that hot and there's little point overclocking them as they don't really go that much higher, wouldn't a LP cooler from noctua be a better option?

air cooling  is no go.. PC will be i my "Man cage" .. Part garage (2 strokes) part  woodworkshop and  gaming room .. A lot of dust in the air 

And i can get  this aio is cheap .. (Local store  closing 50+% off.. Got two of them ..)


With the wrait cooler it comes with .. It runs hot as hell when workload is 75%

You do know dust still effects water cooling right? Dust just collects in the rad instead of cooling fins.

You clean them the same way, to do it properly you still need to remove the part which is actually harder to do with a rad.

Rad is like 4-6 screws .. Flip it out of kabinet  an blow it ..
