I want to get a cpu cooler for my AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 3.8 GHz 12-Core Processor
A the moment im using its stock cooler and wanted to replace it for cooler temps.
Anyone get any ideas for what cpu cooler i should get?
The ones im looking at these!
The two im looking at at the moment are these!
$300
Air cooler: Noctua NH-U12A
2 Fans replacement: Noctua NF-F12 PWM chromax.black.swap
I don't know getting new fans will mess the cabling and temp but will this keep my 3900x at a really good temp?
------------- or -------------
Water cooler: NZXT Kraken X73 73.11 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
I'm worried about the water cooler since i dont know what cables it will need and also i dont know if it will fit on the top of my case and also don't know if it will make my ram slot unuseable!
------------- or -------------
Or if anyone has any recommended cpu coolers let me know!
also whats the best thermal paste?
i heard grizzly is good but i don't know whats the best to use.
