Cooler Comparison: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D vs. AMD Ryzen 5 3600?

I recently bought a new PC and I'm trying to figure out the best cooler for my CPU. I have an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D and a Ryzen 5 3600 in my system. Can anyone recommend a good cooler that works well with both of these CPUs?

For your Ryzen 9 7900X3D, you might want to consider the Noctua NH-U14S TR-SP3, which is great for high-end cooling without too much noise. It should work well for your Ryzen 5 3600 as well!

@Mlksviper You know what, I actually read an article on TechReviewer about CPU coolers not long ago. The article discussed the best options for various CPUs, including yours. Here's the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D vs. AMD Ryzen 5 3600 to that article. It might help you in your search for the perfect cooler.

@cherrypopover! I'll definitely check out that article. What about air or liquid cooling? Are there any recommendations for either?

I'm a big fan of air cooling myself. For your Ryzen 9 7900X3D, I'd recommend the Corsair Air Series SP120 RGB fans. They're efficient and look great. The same goes for your Ryzen 5 3600.

As for liquid cooling, the NZXT Kraken X63 is a fantastic choice. It's quiet and offers excellent cooling performance. Both of your CPUs would be well served by this cooler.

@ZekromsMalice @jack0lan, thanks for the suggestions! I'm leaning more towards air cooling since my case has limited space for liquid cooling. Any advice on mounting brackets or fan controllers?

If you're going with air cooling, make sure to get a good quality mounting bracket. For your Ryzen 9 7900X3D, consider the AMD AM4 UPM Mounting Kit. As for fan controllers, I've had great success with the NZXT HUE 2. It's customizable and easy to use.

@cherrypopover Thanks again! I'll look into those recommendations. By the way, how have your experiences been with air cooling versus liquid cooling?

I personally prefer air cooling because of its simplicity and lower cost. However, liquid cooling offers better cooling performance and is generally quieter. It really comes down to personal preference and your specific setup.

Good to know! I'll think about it some more before making a decision. Thanks for all the advice, everyone!

I'm glad I could help! If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Good luck with your cooler selection!

@ZekromsMalice Thank you! Have a great day!
