Hello everyone,
I have to say is time to switch to the AMD platform after many years with INTEL processors after deep analysis.
I like their AM5 socket that will have support next two years. If I buy Intel 12/13/14 their socket is already out of the game next year .

How much temperature does the Ryzen 7600x make in gaming? I prefer quiet setup (air cooler with low RPM)
Could you please look at my last created pc build? What do you mean?
Which motherboard should I choose?



NH-D14 cooler. I have only equipment for socket 1151
I think I need to buy a new mounting kit.
1. option:https://noctua.at/en/nm-am5-4-mp83-mounting-kit/specification
2. option: https://noctua.at/en/offset-am5-mounting-technical-backgrounds
https://noctua.at/en/nm-amb12
3. Or do I need both?
4. I have found this great solution which is good for the processor because cleaning from the thermal paste is a little tricky, right?

Thank you so much for any help
Have a nice day, guys.
 
A Noctua NH-D14 will be more than enough for the Ryzen 7600X. The 7600X does have a TDP of 105 watts, but it only has 6 cores and falls well into the D14's spec. If you want a motherboard recommendation, the MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi is an excellent AM5 board for the price. It's full size ATX for maximum expandability with solid IO for the price.

As far as your mounting hardware, get in contact with Noctua before you go out and buy anything. They'll likely ship you the parts you need for AM5. Noctua thermal paste isn't the best, but it will do you just fine. Just make sure to wipe off the old thermal paste with 99% isopropyl alcohol. Hope this helped, take care.
 
NH-D14 on 7600x needs a AM5 mounting kit.
Free from Noctua.
Noctua also maintains a suitability list, here is the list for 7600X:
NH-D14 is a great cooler; it is strange that suitability is modest for the NH-D14.

If the amount of DDR4 ram that you now have suits you, it would be worthwhile looking at i5-12600K or similar with a DDR4 motherboard. AM5 needs DDR5 ram and fast ram at that.
