Question CORSAIR H55 RGB 120MM LIQUID CPU COOLER

[knk]

Hi, I built a pc a few days ago with Ryzen 7 5700g. Is it enough to cool it using CORSAIR H55 RGB 120MM LIQUID CPU Cooler to keep the full stress temperature average 70-80 degrees Celsius? I'm using the stock cooler for now because of the budget.

I would get an air cooler if you're going to stick with air or a 240mm AIO. You're actually spending over teh stock cooler for merely aesthetics. In fact, I'd advise to stick with the stock cooler.

What are the specs to your build as of this moment? Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. Ambient room air temps?

CORSAIR H55 RGB 120MM LIQUID CPU COOLER will have no trouble cooling the 5700G. The stock cooler is not that great.​

Thank you for your reply! Will it keep the full stress temperature average of 70-80 degrees Celsius?

yes it should if it's installed correctly.

Okay, thank you so much!

You will find that the radiator size of a 120mm aio will limit the cooling capability of the cooler to the equivalent of a 120mm tower type air cooler that costs 1/3 as much.
Noctua maintains a table of suitable coolers, here is the list for the 5700G:

AMD Ryzen 7 5700G | CPU Compatibility | Noctua Compatibility Centre

Series: Cezanne, Socket: AM4

It looks to me like you need more than the H55.
Noctua is premium quality.
There are some lesser twin tower air coolers that still do a very good job.
Thermalright peerless assassin for example:

It should be fine for a 5700G but not more than that. If it's the Wraith Stealth you have then yes it would be an improvement over that.
