What is the best way to cool a 5700x3d dual tower or a 240mm AIO

[TB_GB]

Hi,

 

I am getting a 5700x3d and I am looking at getting a new cooler. The options I have narrowed it down to are

 

Peerless Assassin 120 £30.59
Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 £32

 

Thermalright FW240 AIO £62

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 140 £47

 

I'm leaning towards the phantom spirit as it seems to be better than the assassin and don't really need anything more than that

Peerless Assassin SE 120 is the way to go.

Same if not better cooling than a 240mm AIO and a lot less things that can go wrong.

I could easily cool my 9800X3D with that PA SE 120.

 

The 5700X3D is a very easy CPU to cool anyways.

The Phantom Spirit is the better cooler over the Peerless. I have both of them.

But is it worth £15  more?

To me it is, I overclock and.. stuff.. haha.

 

And if you were talking about the EVO, then yeah because it will fit my T30s no problem.

I've just brought the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB for £19

Attaboy. It isn't a bad cooler, it just isn't as strong as its bigger brothers.

For cooling only... air until 360mm AIO.  Don't get a 240 AIO, just grab a good air cooler.  Which you list some very good ones.

Not relevant.  The OP didn't mention overclocking, or some laugh out loud stuff you're doing.

 

So no, the Peerless  140 version is NOT worth it over the Phantom Spirit for the stock 5700X3D.

I wouldnt buy PA140.. I must have been extra high.

I am probably one of the better tuners on this forum, call me what you will.
