Will this be enough to cool a Ryzen 7600x until I receive an AM5 bracket for my AIO?

  1. Probably not “enough” but the CPU can manage its own thermals. It won’t allow itself to overheat, and it’ll use every last bit of performance that cooler can offer.

    Which isn’t a lot.

    Might get a smidge of thermal throttling but sure, it’ll work.

  3. Double_DeluXe

    As long as you report back if it died or not, go ahead

  4. MHWGamer

    underclock your cpu in the worst case.
    I do that with my gpu when the powerspikes in a few games are too high with my small psu

  5. Astrikal

    Just turn on eco mode or put a lower power limit via PBO.

    honestly i was surprised with small arctic CPU coolers, i had one and it shaved off about 7-12 C (under load) compared to stock intel cooler on core2duo e5700, pentium g4560 and i5 7400

    Set max ppt in bios at 65w and it should be good.

  8. moaibeats

    Don’t worry that much about it, it’ll be fine

    I’m using a double tower cooler with two fans – the CPU is designed to max thermals, so I’d be reluctant to think you’ll get full efficiency with a cooler like that.

    Let us know your results!

    The standard cooler that comes with that type of cpu is significantly bigger.

    But you can google that type and see what processors it can work with

    You’ll be fine, just dont expect chilly temp or max boost clock

  12. Einn1Tveir2

    You can turn off core performance boost or put on a thermal limit in the bios.

    Dude, just go with a quality AIO. Live in the future.

  14. Bromanzier_03

    What AIO cooler do you have? When I originally bought my NZXT Kraken it didn’t have the AM5 bracket but it still worked fine. I replaced it when the AM5 screws arrived

  15. I’m using the CO version of this cooler on a 2700X in my homeserver. It’s not the quietest or the coolest, but it’s been doing its job for 300 days without interruption.

  16. bamseogbalade

    Sure. But you might see some throttle at load.

  17. PandaGaming47

    Minimal load with eco mode is probably your best bet

    I use a factory AMD Wraith cooler that came with my 3700x on my 5800x3d, and it cools really well even though I was lead to believe it wouldn’t. 73° is the hottest I’ve seen it. I believe you’ll be fine.

  19. Can you not just use the am4 bracket? That’s what I did.

  20. Ryzen constantly runs at max IIRC, so it’l seem like it’s about to thermotrottle (but it’s by design to be at maximum available performance at all time), the stock (wraith) coolers are of similar size and have a shrouded heatsink, I recon you’re good with this one.
    I’m still using mine with a 5800x3D and get great performance out of it.

    Ryzen runs warm by design, they can handle 90c all day long. I would say derate your game specs until you get a bigger cooler and make sure you put a fresh layer of good thermal paste down when you swap. Monitor your temps too

  22. sush1986

    I’m running my ryzen 7800x3d at 50°c idle temps! Quite annoying but think i have to get used at it! Came from 5800x which was hardly to get above 70°c full use! So new ryzens run surely a lot hotter! But be aware, with ur AIO temps should not be any better!

    (i am running a ASUS ROG STRIX LC 2 on it)

  23. ketamarine

    Enough not to damage it, yes. Enough for it not to throttle…???

  24. inter-ego

    it’ll throttle fs. i wouldnt do anything too cpu heavy until you get something better tho

  25. Winterrevival

    65 cooler on a 105 cpu is bit low, but… will you be even able to heat that cpu up?

    Without full load it will be more than enough.

  26. Chemical-Ad6614

    It’ll be fine just don’t try to do any heavy gaming or benchmarks.

  27. CommunicationEast623

    Monitor the temps, maybe downclock/undervolt the cpu if need be.

  28. -----LIFE-----

    Just put your pc into a freezer,If your fan isn’t good enugh.

  29. A_PCMR_member

    Barely , VERY barely but may be worth a try

    KEEP PBO off

  30. Friendly_Border28

    You can set something line 75 or 80 degrees temp limit in bios and CPU will throttle to fit in this limit. You can run even 16 cores safely with this cooler until you get something better

  31. inkmaster2005

    If you get one of the wraith coolers that like the 3600 had for $5 that 100% will be enough (I use it and my pc hasn’t exploded or gotten close to 90°)

  32. Extension_Flounder_2

    AM5 chips undervolt really well actually and you can tinker with it if you like. Theres easy quick undervolts too like how Asus bios allows you to set a thermal limit, or msi bio has something called kombo strike

  33. SnooSketches3386

    Is aftermarket stock cooler an oxymoron?

  34. fauchis_garci

    Guys, relates question. For a 7800x3D I’m going to get a 280mm Kraken from NZXT. Do I need anything extra like this bracket OP mentions?

  35. Nubetastic

    i use the stock fan on my 5600. If you don’t overclock its all you will need.

    I think i have it under volting also, as 4.5 is more then enough for the games I run as the gpu is the bottle neck. Running a 6700xt

  36. Out of the box the 7600x, runs very hot. But the 7600 is actually incredibly efficient. That’s about the same size as the 7600 box cooler. So if you turn on eco mode it should be completely fine

  37. ConditionUnable4125

    Im still using my 2700x stock cooler on my 7700x. It works but waiting on my peerless assassin

  38. Spare_Heron4684

    I would be willing to be money your score in all core workloads doesn’t change more than 5 percent.

    An AIO on a 7600x is a complete waste of money.

  39. bigfeetsmallpp

    Well if you’re in budget at the moment give it a go and possibly try to get something better soon when you can
