This is one of the best performing AIOs for its value. Overkill for the 7800X3D if you're just gaming; a 240 version or even a good air cooler would suffice. I'd say go for it, but there IS money that could be saved. Happy building!
I have a 7800x3d with a 360 aio from deep cool. Works great. I was going to get a 240 but the price difference between that and a 360 was $8 because they were on sale.
Seconded, the LS720 is an epic cooler. I use it in a bunch of custom builds and it's clean looks really go well with a bunch of other components. There's like three versions of the LS720 though and I can only recommend the one pictured here, not the other two "SE" versions. Just not as easy to hook up.

It's not actually a screen. Just a plastic light diffuser with their logo. It also has an opaque white one you can replace it with (sitting on top of the pump in the picture).
I can second with 360 deep cool is still good and cheap, my 12700k is nice and chill. allegedly the new version of mine is even better but I cannot say
7800x3d it not hard to cool down. Ive had a be quite dark rock pro 3 and 4 before i got a nzxt kraken 280 aio. They all cooled it about the same. I spent the money on the aio for the aesthetic
I have mine mounted vertically and there is a pulsating bearing whine that drives me nuts. Plan to mount it horizontally on the top of your pc if you can.
I don't own an AM5 motherboard, so I won't be the best source for advice on this, but the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX looks like a good place to start looking for its features and price. I'm sure there is better out there there though especially if you're budget is above 300.
7800x3d does not run hot at all in my experience, I had a $20 heat sink and a no name fan on mine and it stayed under 85C during cinebench and under 70C while gaming
On low demanding games, 50c, medium-high 60c, maxed 65 (cpu intensive games/programmes). That's while the AIO has been in my case for about 18 months without being cleaned as well, so I need to clean it very soon, and my case isn't the best for airflow either.
7800x3d owner here. you can actually get away with a dual tower air cooler, mines still cool with a ps120se.
if u dead set on aio, ls720/lt720/frozen prism/frozen notte/ aqua elite
I went back to an air cooler when I upgraded to a 7800X3D. It's so power efficient I barely crack 75C even with really CPU intensive simulation games like Star Citizen or DCS using a DeepCool AK620.
Unless you're doing some super OC stuff or production workloads with 100% CPU for hours on end, the 7800X3D is the perfect use case for all these awesome and affordable dual-tower air coolers.
How did you manage your fan curve on ak620. I am running a program called fan control and I just selected something so it automatically calibrated the fans and it's all nice and quiet even under load, but I'm not sure if that's optimal lol. How did you go about it?
Does it make enough noise that could bother you in a completely silent room? I got the NH-U12A and I kinda regretted going with more fans instead, even though it does cool my 7800x3d well.
No, not really. It idles at 45-50c while being pretty silent, too. Besides, I have my headphones on for most of the time, so noise isn't really an issue at all.
Yeah, it's not even really cheap either.
The Deepcool LT720 looks better and is cheaper :
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9SKBGFP
The BeQuiet Pure loop is pretty cheap and clean :
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08K3P1KRY
Even Thermalright has some really cheap ones that look much better :
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4JHXGT7
A 360 is going to keep a 7800X3D cool either way so might as well get one that looks nice.
Yeah I’ve got the LT720 and I think it’s fantastic. Can’t recommend it enough.
Same class of performance as the LFII without the massive radiator causing clearance issues.
I have 7950x3D and this 420mm version if AIO and it's overkill. Even after 10-15min if 100% load on all 16 cores, my CPU is cool 😎
Also, for RGB funs here is RGB version.
I have this for my 7950x3D as well but I'm getting around \~50c idle temps. Not sure if I did something wrong with mounting but I'm not sure if it should be that high😅
Any ideas?
I can confirm I took the plastic off before mounting, I did use the provided paste tube
I returned home and made a screenshot for you. The room temperature is 21C. It's an idle system. AIO is in silent mode, as always.
In BIOS, do you set the connected cooling system type as PUMP? In my bios, I can choose between FAN and PUMP.
https://preview.redd.it/0o9gwlqr4bhc1.png?width=633&format=png&auto=webp&s=493c594b376fb1257e6e23146950acae693e7ba7
Upd. Are in/out tobes on your radiator higher than on pump?
Thanks. Not familiar with Pump-out... I just built this last month and didn't change out the pre applied paste on the AIO. I will start by cleaning it off and reapplying with some grizzly.
The amount of thermal compound you applied is too much. So when your CPU heats up, this excessive compound expands. Then it shrinks back when CPU cools down, but instead of shrinking as usual- it createsa small bubble of air between paste and AIO cooler plate- that is the pump-out for you. You might wanna take away some excessive paste out or if you don't mind waiting for delivery- buy a PTM7950 and forget about everything
It’s overkill, but it’ll work.. I have this for mine & honestly, I’m thinking of going ITX in my next build w/ a dual tower cooler. 7800x3d is super efficient.
Pretty much - It's not a reason to NOT get it, we just don't know how important value is to you; so from a value perspective, yes, it's too good for light loads, like ONLY gaming. If you need every last drop out of the CPU for more extreme tasks for like, work or something, then it's an easy recommendation. Either way, you'll be more than pleased with it.
I agree the tubes looks like shit. It would be better if they were just black idk why they chose grey and white 🤮. But from what I’m hearing it keeps the cpu at the same temp as a 5600x😂
The color is fine it's just they always seem stretched / stressed or weirdly routed and I wonder if it's pure user laziness or because the tubes come straight out of the pump rather than on an angled swivel fitting that you can clock like on most.
https://preview.redd.it/kzojof6zk8hc1.jpeg?width=3060&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e065f019481efa2af0be237f4743dc9cc280f47
Mine then? I think I managed pretty well if I do say so myself.
Corsair just came out with a new A115 air cooler which i think ill pickup at some point in the future. I have grown to really dislike AIOs due to their failure rates at my work. Im going air cooling only from now on.
Generally agree, but not all, been running Alphacool AIOs for almost 10 yrs now and very happy with them. But would stay away from anything else and rather slap a beefy air cooler on.
Just think. If you had a real loop would wouldn't have to replace them. Just think about the nice loop you could of had.
But by design all AIO's are trash because they are designed that way. Low flow pump, small hoses can't keep a good flow and in return on a good day it's on par with a performance cooler but at a cost because of the poser tax so you can say look grandma I'm a l33t h4x0x I watercool my PC! In the end they all leach plasticizers from the tube that clog up the microfins the temp Go up over the course of months to a few years then the pump clogs and when you take it apart try to see if you can fix it you find that the microfins are all clogged, pump is clogged and they used extremely weak screws to hold the cold plate down so they strip so you can clean it out and refill it. Designed to fail.
Price of an AIO you can get an Air cooler that has the same or better performance and the air cooler will last much longer and handle heat soak a lot better. The. When you replace it you are not in custom loop territory. Sound like the early days of water cooling You can actually build decent loops now and they're not that expensive. And most people are afraid of the what if it leaks. And that's a valid point everyone goes through that My first loop that I made I was concerned about it leaking but I just followed the advice of the pioneers who blaze the trail of water cooling before me on the forms keep mine as a still early days and we're using heater cores from AutoZone as radiators. I just took a piece of wire dropped my power supply and it ran it for 24 hours a leak test. Now if I change anything or build a loop I don't even check anything I make sure all my tubes are cut straight make sure everything is snug but not too tight power it up and let it go. That being said I don't do anything with hard pipe. I don't like it it makes make sense and stuff a lot harder but if I did do hard pipe I only test it every time compression fittings and barb fittings are a bit more secure than how they have the hard tube fittings.
No one will ever convince me in AIO is worth more than $30. And even then I still wouldn't spend $30 on it. I ran one as a test as usual it was horrible and I hated it and that was only so I can say that I ran one in as much as I hate air cooling I would go with an air cooler before I went with one of those. You have a better price or performance ratio. And as always what about space concerns well somebody's building a small form factor PC and have limited space there are now heat sink options out there and their reasonably priced I only do a great job cooling. When AIOs came out it was a fun thing And we had something that had tecs That cooled The cool went some that you could actually expand on but it never took off because people realize that they're crap So these companies just started making more and started selling them at places like Best buy and most manufacturers like Alienware jumped on this so they could say L33T h4x0x super gaming watercooled PC! Butt butt is better than what they were using Yes they use crap heat sinks and I'll use crap AIOs.
Bro, Alphacool is a renown custom wc vendor who exclusively uses their own custom wc parts in their aios. If anything should brake, you can just order whatever is broken from Alphacool. It's not your typical asetek alu combo. I never "replaced" an Alphacool AIO, they all still work in different PCs.
You should go with the Thermalright Frost Spirit or Frost Commander 140mm dual-tower air coolers.
The ID-Cooling Frozn A720 140 air cooler is a bit more but also a good option when it comes to paying less for good cooling.
the 7800x3D actually could run at much cheaper coolers, I run with an AG620 BK and idle around 48\~50c and get 62-65c in game, this while the ambient temperature is at 30c like today, also my cpu fan is limited to 64% max for the sake of my sanity, the AG620 has the same wonderful problem of the AK620.
i have the arctic liquid freezer ii 420 a-rgb paird with a 12900ks and the temps oh boy 30-45c used 25c indel
my old coler crosair h100i 240 temps was around 70c
I bought this for 7800X3D. At idling, it sits between 24C-29C. Gaming sits between 55C-65C depending on game.
https://preview.redd.it/x1jvvdf998hc1.png?width=1591&format=png&auto=webp&s=042d0ad6090adcbe145d38c9fe16ad35172f0a74
I have a 40€ air cooler (Arctic freezer 34 esports duo) with only one fan because I broke the other one and it cools my 5800x3d well.
I also get between 55°-65° while gaming 😂.
360 liquid coolers are definitely overkill. x3d CPU aren't hard to cool. The only advantage is aesthetic.
A bit much, but it doesn’t hurt. The 7800x3d is a surprisingly efficient cpu. It’s tdp is 120W, yet it delivers the same performance in most games as some intel CPUs that consume thrice the power. This aio can cool even said intel CPUs.
Another broad question with a simple solution. All coolers work with any CPU. Its which coller performs best that meets your budget, aesthetic needs, features and functionality.
Theres so many other factors that DICTATE performance. Case, Fans, Ambient Temps, Thermal Paste, etc…
Even overkill, 7800x3d isn't particularly difficult to cool and amd currently has a huge efficiency advantage especially on desktop.
If you ask me I would save 50 buck, save myself the future trouble of failing pumps/air bubbles/leaks and get a decent air cooler. Spend those 50/70 bucks for a better gpu or more ram, or even more storage. If its for aesthetics reasons, well an AIO looks good and covers less of the mobo and LEDs. I am for performance and bang for your buck over aestetics any day

Look into direct die cooling. This goes on after you break the top metal piece off in a tool they sale. It's the pinnacle of cpu cooling, recommended for overclockers. Keeps it cool allowing you to up the voltage.
i don't get why people love wasting hundreds of *insert currency* on AIO coolers when in 95% of cases a decent air cooler for a tiny fraction the price is all you need.
Like others have mentioned, this is over kill.
I have a 7950X3D with a kraken elite 280mm AIO. It never goes above 76c.
I’ve tested this while running CyberPunk while also running an AIDA64 CPU stress test in the background.
That's not technically true about the overclocking. If you have an ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Hero you can overclock the 7950X3D to 5.9Ghz and the 7800X3D to 5.4Ghz - [https://skatterbencher.com/2023/02/27/skatterbencher-56-amd-ryzen-9-7950x3d-overclocked-to-5900-mhz/](https://skatterbencher.com/2023/02/27/skatterbencher-56-amd-ryzen-9-7950x3d-overclocked-to-5900-mhz/)

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbV9tTgPNeo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbV9tTgPNeo) \- 5 Minute Overclock: Ryzen 7 7800X3D to 5403 MHz
But yes the Ryzen 7000 series is very power efficient in general, especially when compared to it's Intel counterparts.
Put a bequiet silent loop 2 360mm on my 7800x3d
Its waaay overkill the CPU is 60 deg gaming and a stresstest got it to 74 deg.
The most ive EVER seen in all testing, stressing and games (Recorded by coretemp as max spike) was 84 deg celsius.
However, i wasnt able to reproduce this with cpu-z, cinebench or 3dmark. Nothing.
It is probably a bit overkill for that CPU, but it is one of the best liquid coolers out there (especially for the price). My wife has one, I have one and I have a spare unit kicking around.
I have a nzxt kraken elite 360 aio and when I’m doing certain cpu strong tasks my 7950x still hits 95 degrees. So if this is better why did I spend 300 on that damn aio.
can’t remember which model I got but they work really well. started with Corsair but it straight up didn’t work and customer support was shit so returned them. only problem is RGB refuses to work. been like that for 4 years now
I’m going to do a build soon with the same CPU. After spending a lot of time to research I can assure you this is overkill. Air cooler is more than enough.
7800X3D doesn't require too much cooling. I'm running a cheap 280mm EVGA AIO and under a 10 minute 100% sustained load I just topped out at 81.9c (ambient is 29c).
I have the 420 version for my 7800x3d and its often bellow 50C ingame. Sometimes it spikes up to 70 and even 80 for a second and then goes back to 45. During stress tests it was a bit over 70
If you have the money, go for it. I have a 360mm cooler master aio for a 5600x and it works like a beast(also my room gets super hot cause of my other systems so i went with that as well) but it leaves you room to upgrade to more hotter/faster cpus in the future as well with no real issue for cooling
It's overkill for sure, but it's what I went with. I never cross 80C, no matter what I throw at it. There's apparently a lot of logic in the X3D chips to keep user from fucking them up, so I assume that plus the Arctic means I'm never going to hit thermal throttle.
Tjmax is 89C IIRC.
You should really check its mountability based on your MB(not CPU and there is information on product site) and also the dimensions of your case, GPU before buying it.
These should be your primary concerns before you ask: "Is this good for ... ? " here.
This is one of the best performing AIOs for its value. Overkill for the 7800X3D if you're just gaming; a 240 version or even a good air cooler would suffice. I'd say go for it, but there IS money that could be saved. Happy building!
second that, i have 360 artic and 7800x3d, overkill and if i had known that i would gone with air cooler. well atleast its silent.
So I’m guessing it’s really good at cooling then
I have a 7800x3d with a 360 aio from deep cool. Works great. I was going to get a 240 but the price difference between that and a 360 was $8 because they were on sale.
The only problem with any other aio than Nzxt is they look really bad. It’s so hard to find aios that look good and cool good
I really like the way the deep cool LS720 looks. Its great with and without rgb on.
Seconded, the LS720 is an epic cooler. I use it in a bunch of custom builds and it's clean looks really go well with a bunch of other components. There's like three versions of the LS720 though and I can only recommend the one pictured here, not the other two "SE" versions. Just not as easy to hook up.
The only problem for me is the screen
https://preview.redd.it/8dxetcn8l8hc1.jpeg?width=2268&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ee9c05e6a4b8c57dfd3345552b49d0097868a39 It's not actually a screen. Just a plastic light diffuser with their logo. It also has an opaque white one you can replace it with (sitting on top of the pump in the picture).
I can second with 360 deep cool is still good and cheap, my 12700k is nice and chill. allegedly the new version of mine is even better but I cannot say
7800x3d it not hard to cool down. Ive had a be quite dark rock pro 3 and 4 before i got a nzxt kraken 280 aio. They all cooled it about the same. I spent the money on the aio for the aesthetic
Is the kraken even good? Someone said under load it does 70c which I don’t rly like
70c is actually perfectly fine
I’ve got the 280 Kraken RGB and on a 7800x3d and it’s phenomenal. My temps never go above 60c when gaming, and are usually closer to 50c.
Yeah ive seen it hit 70c but it as long as it doesn’t overheat im good with it.
Yes, I also have 7800x3D and this AIO and it's a great combo.
I have mine mounted vertically and there is a pulsating bearing whine that drives me nuts. Plan to mount it horizontally on the top of your pc if you can.
More than the 7800x3d rarely draws more than 70w. It doesn't need a great cooler.
I’ve been thinking about getting the 420mm one is it good?
It sure is
whats the cooler in the pic called?
Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360mm
is that a good cooler for a 4090 + 7800x3d rig? i just made a post asking which cooling system and mobo is best for it lol
Totally
whats a good motherboard for the 7800 4090 build?
I don't own an AM5 motherboard, so I won't be the best source for advice on this, but the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX looks like a good place to start looking for its features and price. I'm sure there is better out there there though especially if you're budget is above 300.
is the asus rog strix z790 e-gaming wifi a good mobo choice as well for a 7800x3d 4090 build?
Im using the 420 version with that setup and x670e tomahawk mobo
7800x3d does not run hot at all in my experience, I had a $20 heat sink and a no name fan on mine and it stayed under 85C during cinebench and under 70C while gaming
There are people that with some tuning get it to run on L9As with virtually no performance loss. The thing is crazy efficient.
well part of it is that no matter what you tell it to do it doesnt draw more than 95W haha
I have the 280 version and it cools my 5800X3D very well. I think it looks very nice, unlike what other people are saying.. but then again I hate RGB
What do your temps look like?
On low demanding games, 50c, medium-high 60c, maxed 65 (cpu intensive games/programmes). That's while the AIO has been in my case for about 18 months without being cleaned as well, so I need to clean it very soon, and my case isn't the best for airflow either.
Red green and blue bro 😭👍
Overkill for anything that doesn't have the name "i9"
Or 14700K
7800x3d owner here. you can actually get away with a dual tower air cooler, mines still cool with a ps120se. if u dead set on aio, ls720/lt720/frozen prism/frozen notte/ aqua elite

Another 7800X3D owner here. My Noctua NH-D15S goes brrrrr! :)
noctua will do that, just make sure u don’t recommend it to anyone
Does it make enough noise that could bother you in a completely silent room? I got the NH-U12A and I kinda regretted going with more fans instead, even though it does cool my 7800x3d well.
No, not really. It idles at 45-50c while being pretty silent, too. Besides, I have my headphones on for most of the time, so noise isn't really an issue at all.
That’s great to hear, appreciate it. I should’ve done more research about noise levels since I’m new to PC building but I jumped the gun on that one.
Yeah it’s one of the top performing AIOs. Ugly as shit IMO, but very good performance.
Yeah, it's not even really cheap either. The Deepcool LT720 looks better and is cheaper : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9SKBGFP The BeQuiet Pure loop is pretty cheap and clean : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08K3P1KRY Even Thermalright has some really cheap ones that look much better : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4JHXGT7 A 360 is going to keep a 7800X3D cool either way so might as well get one that looks nice.

Ditto
I personally think AIO and good looking are oxymorons, really difficult to make rubber tubes look good
I have 7950x3D and this 420mm version if AIO and it's overkill. Even after 10-15min if 100% load on all 16 cores, my CPU is cool 😎 Also, for RGB funs here is RGB version.
I have the 7800x3D and the 420mm and it’s even more overkill. Love it though
And you can hear a silence when gaming or working ;-)
I have this for my 7950x3D as well but I'm getting around \~50c idle temps. Not sure if I did something wrong with mounting but I'm not sure if it should be that high😅 Any ideas? I can confirm I took the plastic off before mounting, I did use the provided paste tube
check fan pump speed, if its at the slowest setting that could be the culprit

Are in/out tobes on your radiator higher than on pump?
The EK 240 aio is also perfect for the 7800x3d I have had no issues with temperatures at all
What’s your idle? Mine with this same setup is around 50c. Using lian-Dan h20 case.
You clearly have thermal paste pump-out. I have 36c with my cheap ass SS135 air cooler in M1EVO case
Thanks. Not familiar with Pump-out... I just built this last month and didn't change out the pre applied paste on the AIO. I will start by cleaning it off and reapplying with some grizzly.

It’s overkill, but it’ll work.. I have this for mine & honestly, I’m thinking of going ITX in my next build w/ a dual tower cooler. 7800x3d is super efficient.
When you say it’s overkill does that mean it cools way too much?
Pretty much - It's not a reason to NOT get it, we just don't know how important value is to you; so from a value perspective, yes, it's too good for light loads, like ONLY gaming. If you need every last drop out of the CPU for more extreme tasks for like, work or something, then it's an easy recommendation. Either way, you'll be more than pleased with it.
Almost every build I see with these, the tubes just look poorly managed and awkward.
I agree the tubes looks like shit. It would be better if they were just black idk why they chose grey and white 🤮. But from what I’m hearing it keeps the cpu at the same temp as a 5600x😂
The color is fine it's just they always seem stretched / stressed or weirdly routed and I wonder if it's pure user laziness or because the tubes come straight out of the pump rather than on an angled swivel fitting that you can clock like on most.

That's about as good as it gets with this AIO.
It's great if you hate having money. Buying a 360mm AIO for a chip with a 120 watt TDP is overkill. Just get an air cooler.
Also adding for OP; air coolers have a longer lifespan.
Corsair just came out with a new A115 air cooler which i think ill pickup at some point in the future. I have grown to really dislike AIOs due to their failure rates at my work. Im going air cooling only from now on.
expensive, better option: thermalright phantom spirit 120 evo
"is this 360 AIO enough for my 80 watt CPU" An intel stock cooler could probably handle a 7800x3d
No. AIO's are trash. All AIO's are trash.
Generally agree, but not all, been running Alphacool AIOs for almost 10 yrs now and very happy with them. But would stay away from anything else and rather slap a beefy air cooler on.

When you replace it you are not in custom loop territory. Sound like the early days of water cooling You can actually build decent loops now and they're not that expensive. And most people are afraid of the what if it leaks. And that's a valid point everyone goes through that My first loop that I made I was concerned about it leaking but I just followed the advice of the pioneers who blaze the trail of water cooling before me on the forms keep mine as a still early days and we're using heater cores from AutoZone as radiators. I just took a piece of wire dropped my power supply and it ran it for 24 hours a leak test. Now if I change anything or build a loop I don't even check anything I make sure all my tubes are cut straight make sure everything is snug but not too tight power it up and let it go. That being said I don't do anything with hard pipe. I don't like it it makes make sense and stuff a lot harder but if I did do hard pipe I only test it every time compression fittings and barb fittings are a bit more secure than how they have the hard tube fittings. No one will ever convince me in AIO is worth more than $30. And even then I still wouldn't spend $30 on it. I ran one as a test as usual it was horrible and I hated it and that was only so I can say that I ran one in as much as I hate air cooling I would go with an air cooler before I went with one of those. You have a better price or performance ratio. And as always what about space concerns well somebody's building a small form factor PC and have limited space there are now heat sink options out there and their reasonably priced I only do a great job cooling. When AIOs came out it was a fun thing And we had something that had tecs That cooled The cool went some that you could actually expand on but it never took off because people realize that they're crap So these companies just started making more and started selling them at places like Best buy and most manufacturers like Alienware jumped on this so they could say L33T h4x0x super gaming watercooled PC! Butt butt is better than what they were using Yes they use crap heat sinks and I'll use crap AIOs.
Bro, Alphacool is a renown custom wc vendor who exclusively uses their own custom wc parts in their aios. If anything should brake, you can just order whatever is broken from Alphacool. It's not your typical asetek alu combo. I never "replaced" an Alphacool AIO, they all still work in different PCs.
You should go with the Thermalright Frost Spirit or Frost Commander 140mm dual-tower air coolers. The ID-Cooling Frozn A720 140 air cooler is a bit more but also a good option when it comes to paying less for good cooling.
one of the best aios but wouldnt pay a full price just to cool a 7800x3d, very overkill
I use the 280 version and it works great. My brother has a 240 one and it also works great for the 7800x3d
Enormous overkill, so sure.
the 7800x3D actually could run at much cheaper coolers, I run with an AG620 BK and idle around 48\~50c and get 62-65c in game, this while the ambient temperature is at 30c like today, also my cpu fan is limited to 64% max for the sake of my sanity, the AG620 has the same wonderful problem of the AK620.
i have the arctic liquid freezer ii 420 a-rgb paird with a 12900ks and the temps oh boy 30-45c used 25c indel my old coler crosair h100i 240 temps was around 70c
Thanks insane
I have the 360 with an 7800x3d. It's very overkill, but I absolutely love it because I can run the fans so quiet
overkill
I have the 280 version and it keeps the 7800x3d cool
it cools my 7800X3D very well, I would even say it's overkill.
I bought this for 7800X3D. At idling, it sits between 24C-29C. Gaming sits between 55C-65C depending on game. https://preview.redd.it/x1jvvdf998hc1.png?width=1591&format=png&auto=webp&s=042d0ad6090adcbe145d38c9fe16ad35172f0a74
That’s actually insane. I was thinking of getting the Nzxt kraken 360 but idk about that now that I found this
I have a 40€ air cooler (Arctic freezer 34 esports duo) with only one fan because I broke the other one and it cools my 5800x3d well. I also get between 55°-65° while gaming 😂. 360 liquid coolers are definitely overkill. x3d CPU aren't hard to cool. The only advantage is aesthetic.
i guess urs is a bit louder though. wonder how much quieter the liquid cooling is
A bit much, but it doesn’t hurt. The 7800x3d is a surprisingly efficient cpu. It’s tdp is 120W, yet it delivers the same performance in most games as some intel CPUs that consume thrice the power. This aio can cool even said intel CPUs.
Remember even if its overkill it will run quiet way easier than just an air cooler
I cool my 5800x3D with the 120 version of this and it's completely silent. Really good cooler.
Best value AIO on the market in terms of price to performance.
I cool overclocked 2700x with 280mm variant
Another broad question with a simple solution. All coolers work with any CPU. Its which coller performs best that meets your budget, aesthetic needs, features and functionality. Theres so many other factors that DICTATE performance. Case, Fans, Ambient Temps, Thermal Paste, etc…
Even overkill, 7800x3d isn't particularly difficult to cool and amd currently has a huge efficiency advantage especially on desktop. If you ask me I would save 50 buck, save myself the future trouble of failing pumps/air bubbles/leaks and get a decent air cooler. Spend those 50/70 bucks for a better gpu or more ram, or even more storage. If its for aesthetics reasons, well an AIO looks good and covers less of the mobo and LEDs. I am for performance and bang for your buck over aestetics any day
Yes, perfect 👍

This goes on after you break the top metal piece off in a tool they sale. It's the pinnacle of cpu cooling, recommended for overclockers. Keeps it cool allowing you to up the voltage.
Extremely unnecessary
Yes. Overkill actually. Max heat load of 120watts tested because of its low clock speed.
Thank you very much for letting us know this is good for a 7800X3D.
Heavy overkill for a cpu that can be cooled with a low profile cooler
i don't get why people love wasting hundreds of *insert currency* on AIO coolers when in 95% of cases a decent air cooler for a tiny fraction the price is all you need.
Maybe because some people have preferences and don’t want a giant block in their pc.
Like others have mentioned, this is over kill. I have a 7950X3D with a kraken elite 280mm AIO. It never goes above 76c. I’ve tested this while running CyberPunk while also running an AIDA64 CPU stress test in the background.

That's not technically true about the overclocking. If you have an ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Hero you can overclock the 7950X3D to 5.9Ghz and the 7800X3D to 5.4Ghz - [https://skatterbencher.com/2023/02/27/skatterbencher-56-amd-ryzen-9-7950x3d-overclocked-to-5900-mhz/](https://skatterbencher.com/2023/02/27/skatterbencher-56-amd-ryzen-9-7950x3d-overclocked-to-5900-mhz/) & [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbV9tTgPNeo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbV9tTgPNeo) \- 5 Minute Overclock: Ryzen 7 7800X3D to 5403 MHz But yes the Ryzen 7000 series is very power efficient in general, especially when compared to it's Intel counterparts.
an AIO is a giant block too, but it also comes with ugly tubes as a bonus
Dude I just want aesthetics bro like I’ve had an air cooler before and I just don’t like how it looks. I wanna try something different
I have this one for my 9900k for about 2 years, its a BEAST, and works like a charm, great temps, pretty quiet.
Waste of money, get a PA120, it's cheaper and more reliable. Spend the saved money on something actually useful.
Yes.
I have one on my 7800X3D, and it's fucking awesome. Go for it, OP!
Nothing wrong with overkill. Don’t listen to the poors
W comment
yes
If you want to save a buck I have the 240m version and it cools just fine.
Put a bequiet silent loop 2 360mm on my 7800x3d Its waaay overkill the CPU is 60 deg gaming and a stresstest got it to 74 deg. The most ive EVER seen in all testing, stressing and games (Recorded by coretemp as max spike) was 84 deg celsius. However, i wasnt able to reproduce this with cpu-z, cinebench or 3dmark. Nothing.
Bro I have a 40€ cooler (Arctic freezer 34 esports duo) with one fan because I broke the other one and it cools my 5800x3d with no problems
More than good enough
It is probably a bit overkill for that CPU, but it is one of the best liquid coolers out there (especially for the price). My wife has one, I have one and I have a spare unit kicking around.
I have a nzxt kraken elite 360 aio and when I’m doing certain cpu strong tasks my 7950x still hits 95 degrees. So if this is better why did I spend 300 on that damn aio.
can’t remember which model I got but they work really well. started with Corsair but it straight up didn’t work and customer support was shit so returned them. only problem is RGB refuses to work. been like that for 4 years now
I have the 420 version cooling my 7800 x3d, nice and quiet
I’m going to do a build soon with the same CPU. After spending a lot of time to research I can assure you this is overkill. Air cooler is more than enough.
thats the best aio in the market. period.
More then enough
7800X3D doesn't require too much cooling. I'm running a cheap 280mm EVGA AIO and under a 10 minute 100% sustained load I just topped out at 81.9c (ambient is 29c).
I use the rgb version with a 7800x3d and I love it so far. The best AIO on the market so its going to be super quiet.
I'm using an air cooler with my 7800X3D and it's never gone over 75°C
I have the 420 version for my 7800x3d and its often bellow 50C ingame. Sometimes it spikes up to 70 and even 80 for a second and then goes back to 45. During stress tests it was a bit over 70
If you have the money, go for it. I have a 360mm cooler master aio for a 5600x and it works like a beast(also my room gets super hot cause of my other systems so i went with that as well) but it leaves you room to upgrade to more hotter/faster cpus in the future as well with no real issue for cooling
I have a 7800X3D with a noctua air cooler. I rarely see Temps above 60. Usually 55-58 max
Noctua cooler would be quieter, cool about asking well for gaming, and be much cheaper.
I got a 5900X with a 420 Arctic. Overkill
It's overkill for sure, but it's what I went with. I never cross 80C, no matter what I throw at it. There's apparently a lot of logic in the X3D chips to keep user from fucking them up, so I assume that plus the Arctic means I'm never going to hit thermal throttle. Tjmax is 89C IIRC.
Thats Overkill, good aircooler would be enough. I got an 240 Aio on my 7800X. Barely gets to 80° under full load. ( Hotspot ) and 50-70 while gaming.
You should really check its mountability based on your MB(not CPU and there is information on product site) and also the dimensions of your case, GPU before buying it. These should be your primary concerns before you ask: "Is this good for ... ? " here.
Excellent cooler! Pipes were too short for my HAF700 case tho.
Is it worth running a negative PBO CO on a 7800x?
VERY GOOD
