Cooler for overclocked R9-5900X

DymOK

What will be better for an overclocked (PBO 160W+) R9-5900X: Thermalright Silver Arrow T8 with 2 fans or Arctic Cooling Liquid Freezer II 280mm?

My case is Fractal Design Node 804. Now with Thermalright Silver Arrow T8 and 1 default fan I am running 86-89C in Prime95 at 160W + Furmark on my RTX4070.

neither. The arctic liquid freezer III 240, since it's on a deal ($80 I think)

Well... I'm having shipping issues with Amazon and can easily buy the Freezer II at my local store.

How big is the difference between Freezer II and Freezer III?

for the 280 it's 2.5 degrees. If that doesn't bother you then go for the 280 LF2. I've got the 280 LF2 so just know that it has quite long tubes (one of the main reasons why I didn't use it in my itx build)

My Thermalright AIO works pretty good on my 5900X, but it is a 360.

 

Ambient is 18c.

Either get that or the thermal right PA120SE or the PS120SE. They’ll defo be enough for it if you wanna go aio

 

The decrease in temps should be around 5 degrees

PA120 does not do as well as PS120 with 5900X. I have them both.
