New CPU Cooler

I’ll be using the Ryzen 9950X3D and initially went with the Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360, but the radiator is far too thick—it completely blocks the motherboard cable passthroughs. I’d rather not have an 8-pin cable running across the entire board.

 

With that in mind, what would be the next best option for cooling performance? I was considering the MSI MAG CoreLiquid E360, but there’s also the Corsair iCUE Link TITAN 360.

 

What would you all recommend?

Never heard of it. How does it stack up verses the ARCTIC? I forgot to mention it does have to come in white.

What case?

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

NZXT H9 Elite.
I want to top mount the cooler and it just won't work, the only configuration I can do is side mount with the tubes at the top which I don't believe is the best for performance and honestly.. it's just not the look I wanted

It does come in white.

Just installed it about 30 minutes ago.  It's dead quiet, and for $57 it's a stupid bargain.  Not near as thick as the Arctic neither.

 

Maybe go air cooling if you have rad size issues?

It can't be that good for $58?

The PC is $5k.. so I need something that can really hold up.. I just with the ARCTIC worked but nothing else seems that good honestly.

🤣 Price doesn't always indicate quality. When the Liquid Freezer III was introduced it was sub $100.

May want to take a peek at my sig. I understand costs of PCs...

 

It's a great AIO, reviewed very well, and frankly you don't need it for a 9950X.  A good air cooler and you're golden.

 

But if you want to match your overkill PC with an overkill AIO... get the Corsair.  They make wonderfully shit products you can spend a lot on 🙂

I've had a Corsair for the last 5 years in my old PC and I've never had any issues with it.

 

I have the MSI Carbon motherboard so I'm thinking on just pairing it with the MSI MAG CoreLiquid E360.
