PC Processors

[junkers]

So I have a Ryzen 5 1600 and it can run a little hot in the summer thanks to where I live. This doesn't really affect it in any way to my knowledge but I am someone who likes nice aesthetics and a quiet PC... so can I replace the stock cooler in my custom pc that I built myself with a Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 for example and keep my CPU warranty? Thank you to anyone who offers help I really appreciate it!

You can replace your CPU cooler, and it will not void the warranty so long as the replacement cooler supports operation of the AMD processor in conformance with AMD’s publicly available specifications. The terms of the warranty are here:

AMD Processor in a box (PIB) 3 Year Limited Warranty

so as long as I don't use a cooler with a lower TDP than the chip I am good?

Yup.

Yes, you can use any cooler that you desire, the only way that i know that you can lose warranty, is if you delid the cpu and using liquid metal thermal on the cpu, the rest you are safe.

Note: Avoid overclocking, you can lose warranty too.
