Does the ryzen 9 5900x 12 core only use liquid cooling?

Greetings

I am looking to build a gaming pc.

I am looking at the ryzen 9 5900x 12 core CPU.

I however am not certain about liquid cooling - Not a 'fan' of liquid cooling

Does the ryzen 9 5900x 12 core processor only use liquid cooling or can one use a cpu fan instead?

Any information in this regard would be most helpful.

 

Thank you

The be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 can handle 250 W TDP.

The 5900X has 105 W TDP. Even if you double the power consumption by heavy overclocking, it should be fine.

So air cooling is an option.
 

 

My build:

CPU

Intel Core i7 9700 8x 3.00GHz So.1151

 

CPU cooler

be quiet! Shadow Rock Slim

 

Motherboard

MSI B360-A PRO Intel B360 So.1151 Dual Channel DDR4 ATX

 

RAM

16GB (4x 4096MB) HyperX FURY black DDR4-2666

 

GPU

8GB Gigabyte GeForce RTX2070 WindForce 2X 3xDP/HDMI

 

SSD

500GB Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2 2280

 

HDD

4000GB WD Red WD40EFRX Intellipower 64MB 3.5" (8.9cm) SATA 6Gb/s

 

Power Supply

bequiet! Straight Power 750W Platinum

 

Case

Fractal Design Define R6
3x bequiet! Silent Wings 3 PWM

TDP doesn't really have a standard. Not the best idea.

Depends on how loud / quiet you want it, what case / airflow it is and also if you will overclock. Noctua NH-D15 would be my top pick between reliability, performance and noise level. Custom liquid cooling would be the most quiet option. A 240 rad should also take care of the 5900X (example: Arctic Freezer 240, H100i (Corsair)).

Thank you guys fir both your feedback's

 

So I am looking at using as a PC tower this :

Fractal Design FD-CA-MESH-C-BKO-TGL Meshify C Tempered Glass Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Desktop Chassis

 

It comes with two fans standard and read up on how great this tower is for cooling.

 

I don't think at this stage I will be over clocking the CPU, so will I still need a water cooling system?

 

I am used to the CPU fan systems and not to familiar with liquid cooling in general.

you can put a 5900x/5950x on a 120mm singletower cooler, and something like a Fuma 2 would be plenty.

Also will having just the 2 standard fans that come with this pc be efficient enough or should I add more ?

 

Thank you

Just stick a cheap dual tower on it like a fuma 2 and that will keep your 5900x adequately cooled

 

Though if you want silence go for a liquid freezer 280 or bigger, will keep your cpu nice and cool and arctic aios have some pretty good fans so its also gonna be pretty quiet

I'm using a 5800x in a Fractal Meshify C, so I'm almost in the same boat. I'm currently using the Noctua NH-D15 for an an air cooler and I'm blown away by it's performance and noise. I do not get hotter than 60C at 4.5Ghz overclocked and it does not run any louder than my GPU fans. It does very very well for what I need it to do. I would recommend that over any liquid cooler I've had experience with in the past.

Thanks for this, is this the same one you talking about : "Scythe SCFM-2000 Fuma 2 120mm Black PWM Premium High-End CPU Cooler"?

 

Can anyone else confirm if the "Fuma 2" or the "quiet! Dark Rock Pro" is good to use (Cooling, noise and temperatures)?

 

Thanks everyone for all the information thus far.

I'm using the thermalright pa120 to cool my 5900x. It should be cheaper than those coolers but those coolers would work fine too.

105w tdp is not real. I have seen well over 200w from mine.

there's no current cpu that would "REQUIRE" liquid cooling

I'm a professor of logic and this seems highly unlikely. Try running prime95 smallest fft and report temps?
