Cooling a 5800x

[Areyn13]

So I'm just finalizing a few little things for my build and need a few recommendations for cooling a 5800x, which from what I've seen of reviews seems to run fairly hot. I was thinking something like a 280mm aio like the x63? I've never had a watercooled build before and aesthetically it looks very clean

where did you see it was running hot ?

From watching reviews and a reddit post where someone compiled the info:

TechPowerUp (cooler NH-U14s)

5900X: 67 ºC
5800X: 75 ºC
5600X: 59 ºC

 

Linus Tech Tips (Coooler NH-D15)

5950X and 5900X: ~70 ºC
5800X: ~80 ºC
5600X: ~61 ºC

 

Guru3D (240 mm LCS cooler)

5950X and 5900X: 70 ºC
5800X: 73 ºC
5600X: 60 ºC

 

EDIT: Anandtech (dunno which cooler)

5950X: 64 ºC
5800X: 90 ºC
5600X: 73 ºC

then why not get the 5900x and spend less on the cooler

95°c is the throttling temp. It's safe below that. If you want better cooling for it, use an Arctic Freezer II of any size. (even a 120 will work perfectly fine) Make sure you have an aggressive fan curve on it though, as it has LOTS of acoustic headroom on those fans.
