About this deal

Would there be any benefit to lapping down the cold plate on the AIO? Lap down the IHS on the CPU? Maybe look at getting some liquid metal tim instead of a regular thermal paste? Thermaltake: Water 3.0 Riing RGB 360, 280, 240, Red 280, 140 - Water 3.0 Ultimate - Extreme S, Extreme, Pro, Performer - Water 2.0 Extreme, Pro, Performer I can't fit anything larger than a 280mm AIO in this case. Getting a new case and/or a bigger AIO is a little out of the question right now. I kinda spent all of my computer budget on the new CPU and AIO cooler as it was supposed to be the last upgrade for the next 3-4 years and everything else on this computer is pretty much maxed out (Gigabyte Aorus X570, RX 6900XT, 32GB DDR4-3600, 2x1TB samsung 980s, EVGA 1300W G2). Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/ OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

Got my brand new (what else) 5800x3d as an upgrade to my previous 3700x. Extremely happy with the performance result so far, which is mostly testing Red dead redemption 2 and TW: Warhammer 2, in addition to a few 3dmark tests. What an improvement. I don't see a need to make the situation better here. It's within it's limits and will run fine for the next decade or so. Previously I had a Ryzen 5 3600 with that Hyper 212 Evo. It would idle around 36C and never went above 72C. I get that the 3600 is a 65W TDP and the 5800X3D is a 105W TDP so it'll put out more heat. This is the first AIO that I've ever used and it seems like a 280mm isn't enough or something's not right. Just got the new 5800X3D installed tonight and upgraded from a Hyper 212 Evo to a NZXT Kraken X63. The temps seem way off from what I would expect them to be. The manufacturer specifications are just about the same for both options; with the only exception being the RGB compatibility, and, of course, the price. Instead of the LED-lit infinity mirror rings of the X63’s pump head’s cap, the Z63 has a 2.36-inch (60 mm) LCD display with a 320 x 320 pixel display resolution. This screen can display 24-bit color, and can be used for either practical reasons, like showing system metrics like the CPU temperature, or stylistic purposes, like displaying your favorite pics or gifs of choice.This All-in-One (AIO) liquid cooler is ready for high performance CPU's with the ability to fit in most cases. With two 140mm Aer RGB 2 radiator fans it adds RGB lighting while keeping CPU performance high and keeping temperatures down. You can build your own Starfield space stations thanks to this modder who found the code 'already in the game' The American PC hardware manufacturer, NZXT, is know for making some of the best performing – and stylish – AIO liquid CPU coolers in the market. They are easy to install, keep CPU temperatures and noise levels at a minimum, and are built with quality materials for a respectable level of durability.

That can help a bit, but personally it's a bit more risk than I'd like since if you spill it, your board is dead. I wouldn't personally trust it in a vertical orientation like you'd have in most PC cases. is a very hot CPU. It's not the power draw that makes it hard to cool like it is on Intel CPUs (though even they suffer from this a bit), it's the fact that its very thermally dense and has a lot of thermal resistance. The 5800X was already notorious for being a PITA to cool, the 5800X3D just makes that even worse since the 3D vCache acts as a thermal insulator to the CPU. Going up to a 360mm AIO is advisable for one of those CPUs because they just have a cooler cold plate and thus have an easier time extracting heat. It's not like the chip actually need the cooling capacity, it's just that the extra cooling capacity means you can extract the heat from that chip much easier.The Kraken X-3 and Z-3 series are available now for the US only (everywhere else in early February). Pricing is as follows: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will have a voiced main character: 'it draws the player in that much more', says the game's ex-Bioware narrative designer That's a space heater and all condensed to a 40mm/square single surface area to pull thermals from, with the addition of transistor density and single core complex or CCX. This would be a cooler chip if AMD ran 2 CCX with 4 cores each, but they where able to maximize the TDP envelope with a single CCX.
