R5 1600 cooling.

[ant666_2]

Sorry to post again but I only got answers about my overclock and not cooler. I'm getting a 1600 and was wondering if a 120 aio would do and have it exhaust out the 120 rear mount..  Or would a 240 be recommended? 

 

Thank you

its a 65W TDP. i got a 130W tdp slim air cooler in my case, not sure why you would need water unless you were OC above 4.0Ghz. i got mine stable at 3.94Ghz right now, and during games it gets to 68C (at 3.6Ghz its around 60C)

More than enough

Tbh if you are getting one with a thick 120MM rad you will be perfectly fine (something like an H80)

If you are planning to get a slim AIO (H50) i would just stick to aircooling, it's imo much better value.

I was looking at this Deepcool - Maelstrom 120T 83.6 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Yeah, AIO will be fine.

Although 120mms are not worth it. 240mm ones are fine.

Cryorig R1 would be better than 120mm AIO

Would the cryorig get me to 4ghz or close?

Yeah, but you need to be careful about RAM height and case cooler height

[ant666_2]

I'd say I've got good clearance for case but unsure about ram
