I'm sorry, should I use air cooling instead?

Liquid cooling is generally used for when you want cooler temps than what is achievable with a air cooler when overclocking, or for aesthetics, since you are not able to overclock at all then the heat management should be much easier than a overclocked chip, so you can easily go air cooling and safe temps

air is also cheaper, and less maintenance, compared to liquid

 

probably should go air cooling instead of liquid

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Thank you very much for that information, big help. :)

Do you have any idea what's a good cpu air cooler that is white? I'm planning to go for a white build. :)

Ill also add that most AIO's perform around the same as a top end air cooler anyway, so unless u have space issues, just get a top of the line air cooler like a 'Noctua NH-D15', with that and a non OC'd CPU ull never have to worry about temps.

 

EDIT: If you hold asthetics over noise and performance then just grab any white themed tower air cooler, like a 'Alpenfohn Matterhorn (white)' or some such.

 CRYORIG H7?

not really good in colour matched builds/aesthetics, but it should work quite nice for a white build

Thank you very much for that, i'll consider that Noctua NH-D15 since i have read a lot of great reviews about it. :)

That's awesome! What are your temps? :)

68Cº on max loads, keep in mind my case has good airflow and a FE card though which assists in the CPU temps.
