Hi,

I just recently bought my new pc, and im looking for a cpu cooling solution. I've got a Ryzen 5 5600X processor. Should i get an AIO? If so then could anyone recommend me some good ones? I also plan on overclocking.


Thanks
 
Do you have prior experience with liquid cooling?

Overclock to what extent and on what motherboard?
I don't, i've never had an aio before. I've got a gigbytge b550 gaming x motherboard. And i'm not really sure how much i'am planning to overclock since im just starting to learn about overclocking
 
Liquid cooling introduces complexity and more points of failure.

Maybe you tolerate it if you are going for a high overclock or if you consider yourself a hobbyist/hot rodder type who likes to fiddle with hardware. If not, go with a big air cooler... most likely a dual tower.

Any good ones you could recommend?
 
Noctua fans are noted for low noise. Their coolers usually include low noise adapters that I've never had to use because the fans are so quiet without the adapter. You can likely also adjust fan speeds in BIOS.

Most likely your GPU fan will drown out the cooler fan noise.

I have no idea about Be Quiet fans.

Okay thats good, but do you happen to know any good 120mm case fans beacuse i am not sures the ones i have right now work well and i would like to add 2 to the top of the case too
 
Noctua is my default for case fans...........they have dozens of choices.

But.....cooling involves a lot of experimentation. You may find that adding fans or changing fans has little effect. You may find that removing a fan doesn't hurt at all. And so forth. You can easily be disappointed by your changes, particularly if you are obsessed with driving temperatures down. It's easier to lower noise if that's your primary goal.

Try to use the largest fan that will fit in the mount and hope to keep the rpm under 1000.

Are your case fan connectors on the motherboard PWM compatible? Do they have 3 pins or 4 pins?

I think they have 3 pins. Not really sure though, and im also looking for aesthetics, i would like to have adressable rgb fans as case fans
