You could easily get away with an air cooler with that chip, for example a Peerless Assassin 120 SE would do fine.

If you really want to use an AIO, both will be perfectly sufficient, so I'd choose the cheaper option.

i already know which air cooler i want if i ended up choosing air cooler so i'm asking about AIO. Whats the different between magnetic bearing in Corsair and Fluid Dynamic in Arctic?

The mag levs should be longer lasting and quieter running, but with fans now the bearing noise is so minimal it doesnt really matter for the noise aspect as the movement of the air itself will most likely be louder anyway. Though i would also recommend an air cooler, they have a much longer lifespan and are cheaper. What air cooler were you thinking?

phantom spirit is better than both and is similarly priced to the peerless assassin

aio wise id look at the thermalright aios as they seem to be competing with the liquid freezer iii performance wise

Oh and for AIOs for AMD, i would say, between those 2, the AF3 hands down, best in class cooling for AMD, includes an offset bracket, VRM cooler to boot is just pretty nifty and is more likely cheaper than the corsair

 

EDIT: Also definitely check out @Somerandomtechyboi's suggestions above, thermalrights AIOs are hidden gems just like their air coolers (less so hidden as time goes on tbf), and they have coolers that beat the NH-D15 more recently released than the PA for the same price

I think you meant LF3, right?

I definitely agree that the LF3 is a better choice on AMD.
