Cooling system for 7900X

Hello everyone, hope You all doing fine this fine day|night.

I would like to ask for advice - its so happened that i will be building a pc with Ryzen 7900X tomorrow and I only have 2 options for a cooling right now.. Those options are Be Quiet Pure Loop 240mm AIO or Noctua famous NH-D15 - what would be better choice here? Thanks for any advice ^ ^

I would go with the AIO.  I've never seen one of my CPUs get hot when it's being cooled by an AIO.  Sometimes they are difficult to mount to the CPU though, so have patience.

Hi, from my experience with these 2 power hungry CPUs. I own a 7950X.

You should plan on getting a 360 sized AIO water cooler.

Sure, the 240 can make it, I have one on my 7950X but if you want to run it unrestrained (stock) or tweaked you will end up in the throttle zone real fast.

I have mine really well fine tuned so it won't go out of control.

This means, curve optimizer, undervolting, ecomode and a little bit here and there to push boosting while keeping it under 85ish Celsius.

Good luck
