Question Arctic Freezer 36 for AMD Socket AM5 ?

[punisher_09]

Hello. I have a Ryzen 5 7600 CPU and I need a cooler for it which is better than the stock cooler. I found the Arctic Freezer 36 at the shop.
Please let me know if the mentioned cooler is good for this Ryzen 5 7600 CPU.
I read somewhere that the cooler does not cover the entire CPU IHS, could this be a problem ?

The rest of the build is:
MB: Gigabyte B650 Eagle
RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz
GPU: Gigabyte RTX3060 12GB Windforce OC
SSD: Kingston PCI-e gen 4 x4 500GB
HDD: 500GB S-ata 3
PSU: Seasonic GM650, 650W

Ryzen 5 7600 is a 65w TDP CPU.

Tom's found the Arctic Freezer 36 to prevent throttling at up to 219w.

The IHS is really thin so heat doesn't spread much across it, and it's enough for the heatsink to completely cover the dies under the IHS-- covering the whole IHS is unnecessary.

BTW Ryzen 5 7600 comes with the Wraith Stealth cooler which is only designed for 65w TDP and thus the worst of all the Wraith coolers. It lacks either copper base or heatpipes, as does the later Spire after it was cheapened by removing the copper vapor chamber earlier Spire models had. Both Spire models are rated 95w but the later ones run louder.

Arctic Freezer 36 is better than any of them but then is also much larger too.

If I will upgrade to a Ryzen 7 9700x, then the Arctic Freezer 36 will be good for the 9700x ?
The 9700x will be configured in BIOS to 65W (I will enable the eco mode or something like that).

It will still be more than enough for 9700x even at full TDP-

I installed the Freezer 36 on my Ryzen 5 7600 CPU, using MX6 thermal paste and the maximum temperature of the CPU under OCCT power stability test was 78.0 C. Also, during gaming (Stalker 2 on medium graphics preset) the CPU temperature was also maximum 78.0 C. The temperature was measured using HWinfo64, the measured parameter is presented as CPU CCD1 (Tdie) because this was the highest temperature parameter. The room temperature is 26 C.
Is the mentioned temperature normal ?
