SG05 & a Ryzen 9 5900X, cooling?

[Edward78]

I won't overclock, just putting that in. Anyway, any good coolers that will work?

For that beefy of a CPU I recommend the Liquid Freezer III, unless you want to go custom loop (IMO the best choice for that class is processors). What case do you have? Can it fit a 360mm (or even 480) AIO?

It's the sg05 a mini itx case but indeed the liquid freezer series would be a good fit here just the 240mm tho as it won't fit otherwise at the top of the case :p.

 

Keep in mind op a aio ALWAYS has to have the rad above the pump to prevent all kinds of issues ESPECIALLY with the arctic series.

I mistyped I meant 5900x, those cases would be better if the psu was laying on its side on the opposite side of the expansion slots. That would be a better way to do all sff cases anyway.

its either the scythe big shuriken 3 or a 120mm aio with a smaller pump block, your choices are extremely limited. I don't believe arctic's aio will fit. 

 

I'd ditch the sg05 all together and get a new case. None of the coolers you can fit in there will cool the 5900x adequately without modding. ITX Cases with good airflow are getting cheaper these days anyway.

Man, I would love to put the psu on the side in that case laying on it's side, wonder how much protocase would want for doing that?

No idea, you'll need to get a quote from them.
