[SOLVED] Need help deciding AIO

[overclock98]

Hey I am planning to upgrade a cooling in my current gaming pc.
The current specs are

Processor - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
Motherboard - MSI X470 GAMING PRO
Graphics Card - rtx 2060 amp edition
Drives - Samsung 970 Evo NVMe M.2 250GB, Samsung 750 EVO 250GB, Seagate Barracuda 4TB
RAM - Crucial Ballistix 3600 MHz CL 16 32GB (8GB x 4)
PSU - TXM 850M corsair

I have a few options available from the shop I plan to purchase from which are deepcool gammax 360m argb, deepcool castle 360ex argb, thermaltake th 360argb, coolermaster liquid ml360l v2 argb. It would be great help if you guys could guide me as per which cooler would be best for this 5800x cpu and would the psu be sufficient for any of these 360m aio cooler

The case I am going to assemble it in is Thermaltake h550 and I plan on front mounting it with tubes on top side.

thanks in advance

All of those AIOs will perform within the same general ballpark. The Deepcool likely has a slight edge, but I'd be looking more to price & aesthetics here. Price will depend on what you're seeing locally... and aesthetics are subjective.

The PSU is fine.

What is your cooler now?
Are you now having a problem with cooling your cpu or your graphics card?
Or, are you trying to get some RGB "bling" into the system?

Be aware that a front mounted radiator is going to be giving heated air to cool the graphics card and the motherboard vrm's.

thank you barty I was thinking of going with deepcool gammax.

My current cooler is a coolermaster 120m aio and I think this is not sufficient as my cpu gets a little too hot(70-80c while gaming) on stock settings thats why i plan on upgrading to a 360m aio.

Really? That's the same mistake people who get 240-280mm AIOs make with NZXT H500s: choke the crap out of the fans, making their job harder, and leave the bulk of the cooling to the loop. AIOs are hybrids and still need good airflow, if not more than air coolers do.

An air cooler will be just as, if not more effective here.
The 5800X is a known hot chip. Unusually so, even compared to the bigger 5900X and 5950X. Some have even gotten samples with a bad solder job that ran hot regardless of the cooling.


"Be aware that a front mounted radiator is going to be giving heated air to cool the graphics card and the motherboard vrm's."
Either way you twist this, something is giving heated air to something; in a complete air cooled system or one that's cpu AIO top mounted and gpu air cooled, the gpu is giving heated air to everything above it.
Today's cpus are more energy efficient than gpu's are, thus use less power on average, especially when playing games... but for some reason, 'cpu dumping on the gpu' is somehow more bad, but 'gpu dumping on cpu' isn't? Talk about backwards.
