I've recently built a PC with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800 CPU and I'm looking for the best cooler to keep it cool. Any recommendations? I've read that air or liquid coolers are both good options, but I don't know which one to go for.

Hey @PolskaPieter, if you're looking for a high-performance option, I'd recommend checking out TechReviewer's article on the best CPU coolers for AMD's Ryzen 7 5800. It covers both air and liquid coolers and even provides some tips on what to look for when choosing one. You can find it here: Choosing the Best CPU Cooler for AMD's Ryzen 7 5800.
Yeah, I've been using a CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Liquid CPU Cooler with my Ryzen 7 5800, and it's been working great! It offers excellent cooling performance while keeping noise levels to a minimum. The integrated LCD display is also a nice touch.
Another good option for an air cooler is the Noctua NH-D15. It's a premium CPU cooler that provides great cooling performance without being too noisy. Plus, it comes with two sets of fans, which makes it versatile and easy to customize according to your needs.
Thanks for the suggestions! @Mauronic I checked out the TechReviewer article you mentioned, and it seems like both air and liquid coolers are good options. However, I'm a bit concerned about noise levels since my PC is in my bedroom. Which type of cooler would be less noisy?
Based on my experience, liquid coolers like the CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD generally offer better cooling performance and quieter operation compared to air coolers. However, this can vary depending on factors such as radiator size and fan speed.
I've been using a Noctua NH-D15 for a while now, and it's indeed quite quiet when operating at lower speeds. But if you're looking for an even quieter option or need better cooling performance, a liquid cooler might be the way to go.
That's really helpful! Thanks everyone. So, between the CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD and the Noctua NH-D15, which one would you recommend for someone in my situation, with noise levels being a priority?
If noise level is your top priority, I'd suggest going for the liquid cooler. The CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD has been highly recommended by users like @Chreativ and offers great cooling performance while maintaining low noise levels.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a premium air cooler with excellent cooling performance and versatility, the Noctua NH-D15 is definitely worth considering. It's quieter than many other air coolers on the market and has an outstanding reputation in the community.
Thanks for all the advice! I think I'll go with the CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD since noise levels are more important to me. By the way, did anyone have any issues with maintenance for liquid coolers?
As for maintenance, liquid coolers like the CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD generally require less upkeep compared to open-loop coolers. However, it's still a good idea to periodically flush out the coolant to ensure optimal performance and prevent any potential issues.
I've been using my Noctua NH-D15 for quite some time now, and I haven't encountered any maintenance issues yet. That being said, air coolers do generally have lower maintenance requirements compared to liquid coolers.
Alright, thanks again! I'll go with the CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD then. I think it's a good balance between cooling performance and noise levels for my setup. Have a great day everyone!
