My cooler is going for 5 Years now (Coolermaster ML360R) and it's not cooling my 13700K as it should anymore.
Playing RUST, Spiderman, Hogwarts, Last of Us 1, the fans are at max speed, 80C+
Cinebench is just throttling the CPU at over 90C

I am in the market to finally change to a newer one but also upgrade to a hopefully higher TDP too.
I've decided to go with the same brand (but hopefully better?)
I can't decide between those 2(Local prices will be provided)

1. MasterLiquid PL360 Flux 30th Anniversary Edition / MLY-D36M-A23PZ-30 ($159)
2. MasterLiquid 360 ION / MLY-D36M-A24PZ-R1 ($189)
(Third but not so desired option is Arctic Freezer III but I dislike removing the bracket and so on) at $119

Also not sure if the RTX 5090 will be any issue with those as It's drawing a lot of power to begin with, so I need everything I can get.

That is actually the best option, actually among the ithers listed above it.

Where are you located?

What motherboard are you working with and what BIOS version are you on for said motherboard?
