Yes. 

 

The 7800X3D is probably the easiest AM5 CPU to cool, so if it's keeping your 7600 cool, it'll keep the 7800X3D cool. It may be rated at 120W, but in practice it rarely gets above 60W because of all the voltage, clock speed, and current limitations in place. 

Heyyo guys, 

 

Im already on the AM5 Platform with my R5 7600 with my be quiet Pure Rock 2 (150 TDP) and i want to upgrad to a Ryzen 7 7800X3D. What i want to know now is if i need a new CPU Cooler or is my Pure Rock 2 Sufficient enough? 
I Saw that the R7 7800X3D has a Default TDP of 120 and my cooler new has a cooling power of 150 TDP. I feel kinda stupid to ask but my cooler is already so old so im a bit skeptical. 😄

That sounds very good 🙂 I was about to wait until the new 8000 Series comes out from AMD but with a present i got i can get the R7 7800X3D for like 250€ so thats  a steal isnt it?

Yeah, for 250 Euro that chip is great.
