Can a 240mm AIO cool a Ryzen 7 7700X, and if so, which ones will likely do the job?

[ImServs]

Im trying to cool a 7700X and was wondering if a 240mm AIO would handle it. I know a tower air cooler or a 280mm would do a better job, but im just curious if a 240 CAN?

Or just get either of these and don't worry about having water in your PC?

7700x when tuned could use even weaker coolers probably, if we're just gaming like AG400

Yup, I had an msi one in my truenas server for a while (swapped for tower cooler just to be safer in the end), I'd look into deepcool, I'm using there's in my main rig and it's way better than the msi one ever was..

the only coolers that fit the case i want are 240mm aios and low profile air coolers which im certain would throttle. thats why im asking about the 240mm aio

if that's the case sure, the 240mm is probably enough,
