So I have been using a Wraith Prism I got off a friend due to budget reasons at the time, But there is a reason the 3950x didn't come with one... So out of all the options out there what are the better ones for the 3950x that are a good balance of price to performance

If you want price/performance, I personally think you should look at large air coolers.

Something like a Dark Rock Pro 4 or NH-D15(S) still has great performance, for a lower price that similar 240mm coolers.

 

At some point, a cooler like an NZXT X63 or Corsair H115i will outperform these, but the air coolers would still good for the 3950X.

I have but the size of the ones I've seen might be an issue with the case, So I am looking at AIO's for the 1st time in many years of building lol

People with X cpu probably wont use the stock cooler anyway.

Wraith Prism is a good all round cooler.

Yea but it's proving it can't really keep up with the 3950x under heavy 3D render loads

Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 or 360 is a good AIO and it's way cheaper than Corsairs or NZXTs. Gamer's Nexus has a review of both versions on a 3950X OC and it performs way better than any air cooler or 240/280 or even 360 AIO

Ok so for a 20 buck difference is think it's worth going for a H150i over the H115i?
