hello what cpu cooler should i buy for ryzen 7 5700x3d ?

[Filip]

I want to buy this cpu but i only have this amd wraith stealth i wonder if its enough for the 5700x3d or should i buy a new one for it ?

If you want the best balance of results/cost, I'd suggest the Phantom Spirit or Shadow Assassin. They are almost as good as the best air cooling but they are substantially cheaper.

I always go with Noctua because my fans are still running without fault for the past 7 years and I am constantly on my PC - one of my GPU fans (also 7 years old) went out (hardcore slowdown/near-stop) before my CPU fans (which have never gone dead/slow/out) but I do not expect them to last forever, it will be fun to see how far Noctua fans can last up to tho - stay far away from anything produced by "CoolerMaster".

Some are high enough to actually hover above the RAM in overlap, like my dual heat sink and fan combo setup in this full tower case.

The stealth is definitely enough. Although I can see why one would want something better.

I'm using the wraith prism on my 5700x3d. I mostly chose it for the looks, but it also performs well. There's one on newegg for 42 usd. I really like it as it's very quiet and looks spectacular.

For me it also has an affordable aspect, as it was used from a previous cpu.

You haven't provided what case you have, so I can only guess "maybe" on if it will fit.

RAM clearance depends on both the RAM and the cooling. Some RAM is taller and some is shorter. Some heatsinks are wider and sit over the RAM slots more than others, and some can have the fan raised to some degree to account for that.

asus/noctua gpu? genius



but 10 years later i notice newegg has removed all noctua and replaced it with bequiet? did noctua do something wrong?


and 10 years later water cooling has come a long way.

The Arctic Liquid Freezer III is here and its supposed to be even better than the Liquid Freezer II. But when it comes to the Liquid Freezer III vs Liquid Freezer II is there really enough to many...

i dont care what cpu youre using, why WOULDNT you get water cooling in 2024. it went from being a pain in the ass to being easier than air cooling. you dont even have to mess up your thermal paste trying to screw a heavy heatsink on! its doesnt get any easier.

that said. arctic thermal paste. king of cpu's.

get the freezer 3.

That Arctic Liquid Freezer III is one of the best I will say - there was one with Noctua fans somewhere.

Peerless Assassin, but IF you want something newer, Phantom Spirit 120, I have the Phantom Spirit on standby, just waiting for my Thermaltake Water 3.0 to fail on me, but the dang thing's like the Eveready bunny, it just keeps going....oh yeah, I have the Peerless Assassin in my 2nd rig and it's doing a nice job cooling my 5900X.

Buying $100 CPU cooler for $200 CPU makes no sense. Thermaltake Peerless Assassin or Phantom Spirit that is slightly newer version for $35 is plenty and then some for this CPU.

It can make sense as a long term investment.

Noctua more or less offers free mounting hardware upgrades for life[noctua.at] with proof of purchase, so it is basically $100 for all of your future C.P.Us. Not just the 5700. Linus has a short video of them honoring this for an 18 year old C.P.U. cooler.

Other brands are unlikely to even have a mounting hardware upgrade for decades old coolers, and even when such a kit is offered there will usually be at least a small surcharge.

'course, this is basically gambling on how often A.M.D. or Intel might choose to change their mounting points.
