Question AIO 90' 120mm Solution ??

[KLund1]

HI All !!
I have an older case I REALLY LIKE.
But it can't fit a 2 fan AIO cpu cooler.
I am rocking an AMD R9 9900X CPU.
I am using a Thermal-right Phantom Spirit 120 2 fan cooler.
I have a 120 case fan in line with the 2 cooler fans. and a 140mm just above the cpu cooler/fans.
My idle temp is 42-48c.
If I watch a YouTube video, temps goto 55-63c. If I move a block of many files totaling over 5Gb, temps jump to 72-81c
I have pulled the CPU cooler. The Gorilla thermal paste coverage looks very good. no over-spillage.

Is there a Retail 3 fan 90' AIO solution that might work?
I do not want to bend heat bend tubing!!!!
Thanks

What is the make/model of your case?
Your temperatures are fine.
And... even a 2 fan aio when well installed is not going to reduce temperatures, if at all.

I understand AMD CPUs idle a little warmer because they have to keep the I/O die running, even if they park the majority of CPU cores, also a dual die CPU, so you have double the idle power consumption of a 9700X/9600X.

Your max temperatures seem absolutely fine. CPU is designed to ramp up to 95C and run as fast as possible, if you aren't hitting that temperature and not seeing significant reductions in CPU clocks, then everything is fine.

You could do a soft tubing multiple radiator custom cooling if you had additional space, but that would set you back about $300 to get started. Cheaper to buy a new chassis and AIO.
