Hello, I'm getting a 7600x and I was wondering if my Cooler Master H411r would work with my new 7600x on a new AM5 mothetboard the Asus TUF B650-E ATX wifi.

My cooler is pretty old but it could save me some $$ instead of buying a new one, would it be able to cool down a 7600x? And is it compatible with the mothetboard I mentioned above?


Since the H411r won't work with my new 7600x, I need a new cooler for the 7600x, please let me know which one of the ones below I should get.

(There are also liquid coolers, a bit above my budget such as the Redragon CCW-3011, but not sure if a liquid cooler is a smart choice here.)

My options:

XIGMATEK AIR KILLER PRO ARGB AIR CPU Cooler

Aerocool Cylon 4F ARGB CPU AIR COOLER

GAMDIAS BOREAS E2-410 Cpu Air Cooler

Xigmatek AK4 Digital LED Display ARGB Air Cpu Cooler

Deepcool GAMMAXX 400 PRO Air CPU Cooler

DEEPCOOL AG400 PLUS

DeepCool AIR COOLER AK400

And the

Cooler Master Hyper 622 Halo (but it's expensive, might consider if the above are weak for a 7600x)

I can try to increase my budget a bit if the options above are not good and list some more expensive coolers.

Also should I take TDP into consideration when choosing a cooler? Some of the cheap coolers I listed above mention 220 TDP.

For one, you'll need AM5 mounting kit.

would it be able to cool down a 7600x?
No.

R5 7600X with Noctua NH-U14S, on gaming load, gets ~70C. On Blender, ~88C,

Your H411r is tiny air cooler, which based on the ancient review of it,

Fared very poorly, even worse than Hyper 212 Evo. Also, compared to Noctua NH-U12S (smaller variant of NH-U14S), the temp diff is easy +10C to +15C.

So, with your H411r, you can easily see 85C-100C.

Better to get new, beefier CPU cooler. E.g Thermalright has sold value options,

Peerless Assassin 120SE is value king among CPU air coolers. Big-boy air cooler for less than 35 bucks. Same size Noctua and you're looking at easy 120 bucks.

Thanks a lot, unfortunately I will have to pay for shipping and taxes and it would cost similar to buying a new one, so I think buying a new one would be the better deal.

Will it cool?
Yes, but not very well.
What is the make/model of your case and what is the fan arrangement?
Noctua keeps a list of suitable coolers for various processors.
Here is the list for the 7600X:

A simple tower type cooler like the NH-U12s redux would be their cheapest:

Thank you, the Peerless Assassin 120SE and the NH-U12s look good but if you could help me choose one of the ones listed below the shipping and taxes would cost a lot for me since they are not available anywhere close to me.
