Is the NZXT Kraken X53 adequate for cooling a Ryzen 9 5900X...??
I just purchased a ready built "instant gaming" system that is going to be a backup to my current DIY build, and the kind of cheezy looking 120mm AIO that comes with this system seems a little on the weak side for anything but web surfing and other light tasks.
I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I do play some fairly demanding Steam games on a regular basis.
The system arrives today and ships with a mid tower ATX case of unknown manufacture, so I won't know what the space limitations/considerations will be until I can pull the side of the case and assess my options. If there's enough room for it i'll probably just get the Noctua NH D-15, which I'm familiar with because I have it cooling the i7 9700k that's in my current build.
Any opinions and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
