[SOLVED] 5900x Cooling Reccomendations

[twgamerbuilder]

Got my hands on a 5900x somehow but unfortunately its running really hot. I have a scythe fuma 2 with 6 case fans in a Q300L case and it runs around 86C under load. Pretty craz for a good air cooler. Was wondering what a good cooling upgrade would be that could fit in my case. I was looking at the NZXT Kraken x53 280mm. Thanks!

It's a hot CPU to start with, also allowed higher temps than earlier Razen. That Kracken will surely be enough but don't be alarmed about temps at (low) 80s.

Ok ill see how the kraken does. I saw some people saying 80-85 is fine but i regularly hover around 86-87 and yesterday it hit 89 playing cyberpunk. This is just the nature of the newer chips I guess. Well ill see how the kraken performs

yh my 5900x goes to 80c with arctic liquid freezer ii 280, its just these chips run hot. Do you have pbo enabled?

Might be interesting, and is certainly relevant:

AMD views Ryzen 5000 CPU temperatures up to 95C as ‘typical and by design’

Higher temps mean Zen 3 can boost higher and longer.
