Cooling a 5800x

[loupinio_21]

I have managed to buy a 5800x and i was wondering if an ek classic kit s240 d rgb or a corsair h100i rgb platinum se will be enough so i can overclock the cpu

Both will work fine, especially for a 5800x

I would get a custom loop just for upgrae ability

Most likely a 30-50€ air cooler is enough too. There really isnt any point in oc:ng that.

Maybe they should just get an LN2 pot... /s

Both solutions in OP are more than enough. The CPU will likely have stability issues when OCing before temps are the problem.

So I've had my 5800X build up for a few days now. It is way hotter than expected unless you undervolt. It is a common issue described all over forums and reddit. I honestly think the safest thing to do to get max performance is to get a 360mm AIO. FYI I'm on a Dark Rock Pro 4, and it was hitting 90C stock settings because of precision boost 2. The voltage was also pretty crazy at 1.4V+ 

 

Let me know how your setup fairs! I would love to have more data points. Thanks!
