Question New Desktop: AMD 7950X

[juanjostorreshernndez]

Planning on getting this new build, and I don't like AIO's, so Noctua says NH-D15S will be enough even for full performance, but i have my doubts, no sure if is better to change to low profile memory RAM and use the bigger NH-D15 chromax.Black, any suggestions?


Noctua NH-D15S chromax.Black

Crucial P5 Plus SSD 3D NAND NVMe M.2 de 2TB PCIe 4.0 , hasta 6600MB/s - CT2000P5PSSD8

There is zero difference in cooling performance between the S and non-S variant Noctua coolers. Use the S if it gives you the ability to get the RAM you would like. Are you pulling your GPU from the old PC for this build? Are you good on the iGPU for now?

Thanks for your response, I feel more confident now, I have already a RTX3080 10G MSI GamingZ for this build. and i have 4 RADEON VII too, so planty of GPUs to chose from.

Mind if I ask why you are so uncomfortable using an AIO cooler? Risk of leak now a days is exceedingly low.

I would consider a Deepcool AK620. I haven't seen the new Assassin cooler come out yet. Hardware Canucks has some CES coverage of the new coolers from Deepcool.

I have had really bad experiences with AIOs, not only leakings, also pump issues.

If you ever give it a try again try Arctic's Liquid Freezer, or Lian Li's Galahad AIOs. They are made very well. In any case the Noctua NH-D15 should be good enough, even if its not optimal.

Wow, it looks nice, But I am so confident on NOCTUA. I really trust those guys. Pretty solid Brand. Anyway, nice post with a lot of info thank you.

The Noctua is great, but it's price/performance not so much. Also The DH15 can have issues with some boards, and the top GPU slot. Noctua has a compatibility checker, you can use, to make sure your desired board will be a proper fit for it.

Yes i did that, i already checked the compatibility even with the 4000D airflow, The Slim version of DH-15 it's ok with the X670 AORUS Elite AX :

At default settings, you will not be able to stop the CPU from marching right up to 95ºC in stress/benchmark tests, unless you use a good 280mm (or larger) AIO cooler. Ryzen 7000 CPUs are designed to go up to their thermal limit first and sit there, as needed.

I'm using the Dark Rock TF 2 air cooler on mine. I chose it because I can run the CPU fans at 100%, all the time, and they are still near silent. I also wanted to give my VRM and RAM some airflow lovin'. Without any limits set, I still clock in over 38K in Cinebench R23 multi, but I decided to limit my PPT to 125W in BIOS to keep my CPU (relatively) cool.
