Streaming/Gaming PC Build

Should I use the Corsair H60 AIO I already have, or use the included Wraith Prism cooler on the 2700X?

Case - Fractal Design Meshify C
GPU - GTX 1070 Strix
Motherboard - ASUS ROG Strix X470-F Gaming
CPU - Ryzen 2700X

Test both out, if you plan to overclock, overclock to what you will, and test both coolers to see what temps get to.  Then use the better performing one.  Either way, both will be good, so you could also use whichever you like the looks of better.

I watched that video this morning; it's what got my wheels turning.
What do you think it suggests would be the better option?
( I'm leaning towards using the AMD Prism )

The H60 performs better--how much better will depend on which revision you have. The Prism is just a Wraith MAX with RGB which performs similarly to the 212 Evo.

Well if you want the sick RGB, go for the AMD prism. If you want the performance, do the Corsair H60.

AIO is better than the stock cooler. Test different overclocks and see what cools the best. If you want the rgb, keep the stock cooler. If you want lower temperatures, the AIO will be best here.

Both Jayz and Joker Production observed in their tests that the 2700's stock cooler offers a 5 degree Celsius difference compared to a mid-range CPU cooler.

 

I'd be okay with the 2700's cooler if it weren't so damn noisy.

What mount would I use for my H60? 
I think it came with these...

Does the h60 have an am4 mount is probably the more important question?

I think it uses the clip over the plastic stock mount for amd.

Thanks man! This will be really helpful if/when I want to use the H60.
I think I'm going to try out the Wraith Prism and see how It performs for my use case, and if I'm not happy with it... i'll switch to the H60 with some good thermal paste. 


Thanks everyone!
