AMD and Noctua . If you have a threadripper sure get an open loop system

Stock AMD cooler – case got 2 front and one back fan, mostly pass trough mesh case. It just works!

Air cool if you want, I like aio’s on cpu and gpu

I agree with u/CannibalAnus
Use what you want

Air is absolutely fine for anyone that doesn’t want to push their chips super hard. Notice I said super hard, because good air cooling will handle pushing most chips decently hard.
And honestly even that is kind of outdated advice, because nowadays we don’t overclock, we undervolt.

Yup, I’ve done stock coolers, AIO, dual towers, and custom loop. If you want good, cheap, long lasting cooling, get a peerless assassin. I love tinkering with a machine so I’m sticking with a custom loop on mine.

120mm aio is just fine :)))

Have had a a corsair liquid cooler for a few years now not one issue. Its also not a huge ugly block that looks like its gonna break my motherboard so thats cool also

I don’t get it, what do the axis represent?

34$ and I’m getting low 50’s under prime 95 torture test.
gud enuff
I’d prefer not to have to remove my cooler to remove a stick of ram.
I just wanted a liquid cooler cuz I think the idea of liquid cooling is neat
Also I like the little screen that shows my CPU and GPU temps
They’re all fine. the cpu cooler doesn’t matter. As long as you get an ok one, temps will be good
I like the quiet of an AIO liquid.
I believe in Noctua supremacy
only reason I have an aio is that it looks cool and doesnt take up the whole space in the case so I can look at my cool lights between rounds
Me in middle with this

I prefer having the dust collect on an easy to clean radiator. Personal preference.
I mean if we’re meming obviously peltier cooling is the only way to fly
Noctua does a great silent job, I’m calling an 5800x3d, with a 120mm Noctua,
Never went to 80+
Why would I want to air cool when an AIO is better in every way lol
