[SOLVED] Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev.A good for Ryzen 3900x? (convex base, die size)

[Warden777]

I'm currently deciding if I should buy a new cooler for my 3900x rig i'm about to assemble.

Stock cooler seems pretty fine with just 1% performance gap even compared with more expensive cooling solutions.

When we reviewed 3rd-gen Ryzen we deliberately used the included box coolers for the majority of the testing, it's included in the price after all. Following up...

On the other hand room temperature can reach even 35/38°c during summer and my rig will be used for long rendering session(even 8/10 hours) therefore i'm not really sure.

I'd really like to use my old CPU cooler from my previous rig. A Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev.A bought in 2013 ( http://www.thermalright.com/product/macho-rev-abw/ ) but im concerned it wont perform well due to 3900x IHS and different die size compared to older chips. Macho Rev.A also has a convex base and i'm not sure if this could be a thing.

As I want to restrain my budget on this one I'd prefer to keep one of those 2 but I'll buy one if needed.

If you get an am4 mounting bracket for the Macho I dont see why would should not try it. I petsonally doubt that the stock cooler will cut it for your use case.
Some companies ship new brackets for free upon request.
You can always get another cooler later, but I would try the Macho first.
