[SOLVED] CPU cooler (Noctua NH-U12S Redux) good for Ryzen 7 5800X

[rcald2000]

Processor being upgraded to Ryzen 7 5800X, but current full specs are below. If only upgrading to R5 5600X, I would have kept the stock cooler, but I think it's insufficient for 5800X.

specs: Ryzen 5 2600 | Asrock B450 Pro4 | 16GB (2X 8GB) 2400 | Intel 660p 512GB | Gigabyte GTX 1660 Ti | EVGA P2 850

Before you ask: Yes, the RAM capacity and speed are both going to be upgraded to 32GB 3200 MHz. I just hadn't gotten around to it until now. Thank you in advance.

OK, but not optimal.
Here is noctua's cpu suitability table for the 5800X:

You can expect to see 5800X temps around 90C regardless of the cooler you use. That's typical of how they work and they are designed for it.
