Kraken X62 280mm is it good enough?

Hello, I am wondering on buying the Kraken X62, but i don't know if it would handle a overclocked Ryzen 7 3700x 4.3-4.4 ghz thanks.

It could easily cool the 3700x, you could even go for a 240mm AIO. Ryzen 3000 runs pretty cool under load even overclocked.

The 3700x is a 65-85w chip and sort of does it’s own overclocking anyway, so a hand overclock is not infrequently not particularly useful.  Even a 140mm rad is going to be more than enough. People very often don’t even put an aftermarket cooler on them at all and just use the stock cooler.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
