Question Will this suffciently cool a Ryzen 9800X3D CPU ?

[mikeny]

I'm doing a MSI-centered build and was looking at this CPU AIO cooler:

https://www.newegg.com/msi-liquid-c...-27-mm/p/N82E16835846057?Item=N82E16835846057

and this one:

https://www.newegg.com/msi-liquid-c...1200-1700-amd-am5-am4-black/p/N82E16835846063

I like how the temp will show on the first one but looking at all MSI coolers, this one only shows it. The other has 360mm fan and is the newest.

Any thoughts? Can I go with the 240mm, or is the 360mm the safer option?

Either should be fine. Does your case support both sizes?

Ryzen 9800x3d is not a particularly hot running CPU. The 240mm AIO will be sufficient, however the 360 may have sone more headroom if you plan to upgrade the CPU to a Ryzen 9 down the road.

Either or

Hi! No, no upgrade. I got the 1800x (paired with the 1080ti) when it came out and still have it That's why I'm upgrading to the 9800x3d. I was thinking of the 99xxx3d but saw it's not as good for gaming and that's the sole purpose of my upgrades.

Yes it does- MSI MEG Prospect 700r

If price isn't an issue, I would go with the larger AIO. It offers greater cooling capacity.

Was also looking at this one but it's out of stock or way overpriced:

Sold AND shipped by a 3rd party seller. That model also launched like 4 years ago around $320 - pretty much an EoL item by now.
