Just got the new 5800X3D installed tonight and upgraded from a Hyper 212 Evo to a NZXT Kraken X63. The temps seem way off from what I would expect them to be. really? It's a 2-year old chip. You know games are still coming out on PS4 and XBONE with 90% of gamers being totally fine with their performance and those bulldozer cores are literally half the speed of Zen 2.

For those who love optimizing PC games as much as playing them, Modern Warfare 3 promises more than 500 settings to fiddle with

GLASS CPUs ARE COMING.

At TPU I recommended an FC140 to a guy with 5800X3D. He was loading in the 90s with R23, the cooler brought his load temps down to 80. Today my Ultra 120 Extreme will arrive, and will probably Install it tomorrow. AIO isn’t really that good imo. There are a couple of good ones but I don’t need to run them. There's plenty to love about the Kraken X63 RGB, but there's also a little to dislike about the AIO. Firstly, it's a little on the pricey side. Considering this is a 280mm radiator solution, you can easily find more affordable AIOs out there. But with the X63 you do get fancy RGB lighting and the 7th gen Asetek pump.

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/ OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good. That can help a bit, but personally it's a bit more risk than I'd like since if you spill it, your board is dead. I wouldn't personally trust it in a vertical orientation like you'd have in most PC cases. This All-in-One (AIO) liquid cooler is ready for high performance CPU's with the ability to fit in most cases. With two 140mm Aer RGB 2 radiator fans it adds RGB lighting while keeping CPU performance high and keeping temperatures down.

It's not the power draw that makes it hard to cool like it is on Intel CPUs (though even they suffer from this a bit), it's the fact that its very thermally dense and has a lot of thermal resistance. The 5800X was already notorious for being a PITA to cool, the 5800X3D just makes that even worse since the 3D vCache acts as a thermal insulator to the CPU. Going up to a 360mm AIO is advisable for one of those CPUs because they just have a cooler cold plate and thus have an easier time extracting heat. It's not like the chip actually need the cooling capacity, it's just that the extra cooling capacity means you can extract the heat from that chip much easier.

Our Kraken X3 (X53, X63, and X73) Series of coolers are easy to install! Please refer to the embedded video below for how to install your cooler. We also have a handy manual you can review here. Thermaltake: Water 3.0 Riing RGB 360, 280, 240, Red 280, 140 - Water 3.0 Ultimate - Extreme S, Extreme, Pro, Performer - Water 2.0 Extreme, Pro, Performer Previously I had a Ryzen 5 3600 with that Hyper 212 Evo. It would idle around 36C and never went above 72C. I get that the 3600 is a 65W TDP and the 5800X3D is a 105W TDP so it'll put out more heat. This is the first AIO that I've ever used and it seems like a 280mm isn't enough or something's not right.The manufacturer specifications are just about the same for both options; with the only exception being the RGB compatibility, and, of course, the price. Instead of the LED-lit infinity mirror rings of the X63’s pump head’s cap, the Z63 has a 2.36-inch (60 mm) LCD display with a 320 x 320 pixel display resolution. This screen can display 24-bit color, and can be used for either practical reasons, like showing system metrics like the CPU temperature, or stylistic purposes, like displaying your favorite pics or gifs of choice. I can't fit anything larger than a 280mm AIO in this case. Getting a new case and/or a bigger AIO is a little out of the question right now. I kinda spent all of my computer budget on the new CPU and AIO cooler as it was supposed to be the last upgrade for the next 3-4 years and everything else on this computer is pretty much maxed out (Gigabyte Aorus X570, RX 6900XT, 32GB DDR4-3600, 2x1TB samsung 980s, EVGA 1300W G2).
