Question Best coolers for Ryzen 7 7700x

[ostitcho]

I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 that I think is compatible, but I see these get very hot. I'd prefer air cooling if possible. I've heard horror stories about AIO and liquid cooling. Will be uses for multiple hours of gaming and work.

Gonna copy-paste this here too, because it provides a good visual of what will happen.

Yeah saw this video earlier. Basically it should run hot but will slow down. Looking at this atm. Open box but half the price as normal and still 6 year warranty I think and looks to have a vrm cooler as well. May order an rgb version later.

Ended up ordering the blue rgb version of that cooler. I figure if I rebuild I can carry the cooler over, but it should be able to handle my 5900x until I eventually upgrade.
