Is 360mm radiator overkill for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D?

[STIG47]

Hey guys, 

 

I wanted to ask for your help and opinion on this build.

 

I play for now at 24'5 144hz 1080p later 27' 165hz 1440p

Is the 240 mm version of the AIO enought or should i get the 360mm?

My office is in the attic and on summer it can get a bit hot like 30ºC (86ºF) im worried about the temps of the cpu.

 

Is the 7800xt enought or should i get the 7900GRE? I was also thinking about the 4070ti super but i dont think is worth the price for what I would use it for.

 

Tell me what you think and thank you in advance guys!

 

Happy gaming

 

Budget (including currency): 1700€ but flexible 

Country: Portugal

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CS2 main game at 1280x960 , Microsoft Flight, RDR2, games like tarkov

You dont even need a thermalright peerless assasin 120 which is a 33$ cooler.

 

Ill see to do a revision because you can have a 7900xt in there with MINOR adjustments

Better gpu is worth it and cs2 likes nvidia more. Its of course more of a placebo effect but its better with 4070s than 7900gre.

Yes and yes. The larger AIO should result in quieter more efficient operation.

So for 40€ more you are saying to go with the 360mm correct?

You didn't indicate any issues with price. Besides there are a number of decent 360 A-RGB AIO at more reasonable prices.

I liested the Lian Li Galahad II Trinity 89.1 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler because its only 149 in my country

I use an Noctua NH-D15 with my overclocked 7700x ( same wattage as a stock 7800X3D ).

I have both fans set to a locked 25% fan speed. Its completely silent and keeps my CPU more than cool enough without any noise.

AM5 CPU's are extremely efficient.

A cheap aircooler like the Peerless Asasssin SE120 is MORE than enough.

 

Here is a video showing the 7800X3D vs intels 14900k in ACC.   Intel is drawing 200w+ while the 7800X3D is at 55w and producing more FPS ( Right side of the screen )  Efficiency baby!

That one costs the same as the AIO Lian Li GALAHAD II 240mm tho

Confirming what others are saying, a $35 air cooler is all you need for this chip. Funds should otherwise be put into things that will actually make a difference.

No air based cooler can cool below the ambient temperature.

 

Good air towers are at least as good as 240 AIO.

Your 1TB SSD is quite expensive. I'd get a 2TB for not much more (just bought a 4TB WD SN850X for 200).

I will get more storage after, i got that one for 80€

The 7900gre seems to be the most afordable option, i dont see the worth of paying more 300€ for the 7900xt or 4070ti super
