Aio pickingg

[jgminer15]

I came to this forum seeking help with building my pc
I'm looking for a decent AIO cooler for my pc, I'm planning on playing Roblox and Minecraft, I play these games for about 7 hours. if it's possible, i want videos playing on the block for aesthetics.
Im looking for one on the cheaper side. If possible it should be black
I already found one its the "NZXT Kraken X53 73.11 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler"
Is this a good option for my amd ryzen 5,

At stock (and probably OC) speeds this should be fine. Depending on the generation of Ryzen you have will determine how much heat it will output. PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive) on Ryzen 3xxx and up will use all the thermal headroom it has.

 

That being said, Minecraft and Roblox probably won’t cause any issues.

 

Edit: However, the cooler you’ve suggested won’t allow for vids/gifs on the block

For extra performance or for looks? No Ryzen 5 needs an AIO so there's a lot that can be considered

Its pretty overkill for any Ryzen 5.

A $50 air cooler will do you fine for overclocking 1-3rd gen and 5th gen at stock, a $75 air cooler would allow decent OCs on 5th gen.

"NZXT Kraken M22 Liquid CPU Cooler" is this overkill?

Don't buy a 120MM AIO. For that price buy a Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 or a Scythe Fuma 2.
