Hi i'm trying to figure out what sized heatsink would fit well on my msi b350m bazooka motherboard. I'm putting a ryzen 7 1800x in it and I want to make sure its doesn't blow up randomly.
 
Solution
the 1800X is rated at 95 watt TDP officially, but, running Cinebench, it will likely be generating closer to 135 watts of heat...

Choose a good cooler or AIO, if planning to OC all cores to 3.9 GHz, even more so...



There is no 1800. The 1800x does not come with a cooler.Neither does the 1700x. The 1700 however does, and seems to be the go to cpu in the ryzen 8 core lineup, because it is overclockable to near 1800x speeds.

 
Cryorig h7 is cheap, quiet and relatively cool. It might say that it's for am3+ but if you send them a picture of your cpu or receipt and the h7 confirmation they'll send you an am4 bracket to attach to the cooler
