@WoodenMarker having it be at temps that are considered practically correct/safe/etc would be nice. The fans I currently have will be replaced with Noctua Casefan NF-P14S Redux 1200 PWM (2 bottom, 3 front, 3 top, 1 back) unless other brands/types are just as "good".

The 5800x3d isn't hard to cool. It will throttle to prevent damage if needed. Feel free to replace case fans if you want something quieter but the stock fans and an aftermarket cooler should be plenty for cooling already.

Snowman MT-6 dual fan needs to get another review since the mounting bracket got updated to screwing spring type 

Are there any reviews of the new version?

Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme

That cooler has no mounting hardware for newer sockets. So it seems to be outdated for tier II.

Quote

Support Multiple-Platforms. Can be used on Socket 775/1150/1151/1155/1156/1366/2011/2011-3 Platform, and AM2/AM2 /AM3/AM3 /FM1/FM2/FM2 Sockets.

How well would a Thermalright Assassin X 120 Refined SE do on a 7800X3D?

It should be fine especially with tuning. Depending on the workload, it may peak up to 90c.

Where should the ID-Cooling 224XTS be?
Also, for cooling a 5600X, 5800x3d or 7800x3d, would a single-tower cooler(like the 224XTS) be enough to avoid throttling?

Added to the list - it seems to be similar to or slightly better than the SE-224 XT.

The 5600x is easily cooled by just about any single tower cooler. The 7800x3d should be fine with decent case airflow. The 5800x3d should be fine under gaming loads, with some tuning, or if you don't mind the fans ramping up. Otherwise, it may be worth getting a slightly beefier cooler for lower noise.

Awsome, thanks a lot. Also, would changing the fan for something 30mm at some point be a good idea maybe?

You'd be better off getting a beefier cooler to begin with instead. A fan upgrade only improves so much.

Where does the Phanteks GLACIER ONE 360 T30 V2 in the tier list? 
I found the video on youtube

 

Probably Tier 1 but need more benchmark results to confirm before adding to the list.

i have r5 5600 (Non-X)  have 2 choose but still Which one is better SE-224XTS or thermalright assassin x 120 refined

The SE-224 XTS seems to perform a bit better. Both are great options and will easily cool the 5600.

Thanks for the links.

Would like to see more reviews / benchmarks for the coolers before adding but my guess would be Tier 3 for A620 and maybe Tier 2 for the A720.

Please can you add the ARTIC Freezer i35

It's already in Tier 6. I've updated the naming so that it's a bit more clear.
