Processors

[Smyrneos]

Hi,

I bought the Ryzen 9 5900x processor. I was using 3600x before I updated my system with 5900x. I was using my previous processor with a CM ML240L v2 model 240mm liquid cooler. I also use the same cooler with the 5900x, but I am not satisfied with the resulting performance. So I want to buy a new AIO. 

I decided to buy the AIO named ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420. Since my computer case is Phanteks P500A DRGB, I can mount 420mm radiators. But the components of this product are not ARGB. Of course, performance is always important, but I also want a nice look. Of course, if I can't find a better alternative, I will buy this product. I will overclock my processor as much as I can. That's why I want strong cooling. Alternatively, which AIO would you recommend I buy?

My system components:

-Motherboard: Asus Tuf Gaming X570-Plus

-CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900x

-GPU: Msi RTX 2060 Super Gaming X

-RAM: GSKILL Trident Z Neo 2x16 32GB 3600Mhz 16CL

-SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 500GB

-HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB (ST2000DM008)

-Psu: Corsair TX 750M 80+ Gold

-CPU Cooler: Cooler Master ML 240L v2 RGB

-Case: Phanteks P500A D-RGB Black

You didn't post the type of temperatures you were getting with your current AIO for the Ryzen 5900X.

The 5900X needs a CPU Cooler TDP of 105 watts or greater.

Here is this tech sites best Air and AIO coolers of the Ryzen 5900X processor: https://www.perfecttechreviews.com/cpu-coolers/best-cpu-cooler-for-ryzen-9-5900x/

This  Overclocking Tech site has almost identical AIO for best CPU Cooler: https://ovrclock.com/best-cpu-cooler-for-ryzen-9-5900x-5950x/

In my opinion the AIO 420MM CPU Cooler is more than enough to keep the processor cool even under Overclocking conditions.

Hi,

First of all thanks for your answer. Yes, I forgot to share the temperatures. It's around 53-57 degrees when the CPU is idle. In Cinebench tests, it exceeds 90-92 degree. My friend helped me because I don't know how to overclock. Currently, the base speed of the processor is 4.65 ghz, the temperature changes between 90-92 after Cinebench-R23 10-minute test, but during the Cinebench-R23 30-minute (multi-core) test, I get a blue screen. My friend will check again. So, here are the results with the Cooler Master Master Liquid ML240L v2.

I'm going to play games on my computer, I want to render, and I'm going to livestream while I'm playing. So the more I can overclock the better. That's why I chose the 5900x processor anyway. Under the bad economic conditions in Greece, a price like 520 euros cannot be paid easily. I want to get what I paid for. Thank you for your recommendations. After your answer, I started to look more concretely at the idea of ​​a 420mm AIO.

Personally my pick goes to AlphaCool. ~ Ive been running one in my old Intel 5930 rig (overclocked) for about 5yrs and not a single problem  (w/Corsair ML fans) and still on the original pump .Now I have a new Rysen 5900x rig with the same model AlphaCool AIO , again  with Corsair ML fans and have 7volt reducer on those fans as well (in a Corsair 780T case and its built in fan controller) . The Alpha Cool does nicely with my 5900 (overclocked)x and I rarely have to up the fan controller (3 settings) up to high and usually only on benching or some 4k games . ~ The AlphaCool AIO is all copper and my pick hands down !!!  (and btw Iam a very long time member for almost 20yrs at Overclockers.com/OCF , name there under stereo555)

I would suggest you try asking on an overclockers forum, overclockers.uk and/or overclock.net are two examples that have 5900x owners threads.
