I've just got a new AMD Ryzen 7 3800X and I'm looking for some recommendations on the best CPU cooler to go with it. Any suggestions? I'm not too worried about spending more money if it means getting something top-notch.

The CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Liquid CPU Cooler is a great choice for your Ryzen 7 3800X. It's a high-quality liquid cooler that performs well and looks amazing. I've been using one for a while now, and it's kept my CPU cool even during intense gaming sessions.
@wheresthelimit, that's the exact cooler I was talking about! I've read some great reviews on TechReviewer about the Choosing the Best CPU Cooler for AMD's Ryzen 7 3800X too. If you don't mind me asking, how does it compare to the Noctua NH-D15 air cooler in terms of performance and noise levels?
Thanks for your input, @wheresthelimit and @Laststraw2017! The CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Liquid CPU Cooler sounds perfect for my needs. I was also considering the Noctua NH-D15, but I'd love to hear more about its performance compared to the liquid cooler.
Just chiming in with my two cents. I've been using the Noctua NH-D15 on my Ryzen 7 3800X for a couple of months now, and it's been working great. It does make some noise under heavy load, but it keeps my CPU cool and doesn't interfere with other components.
Thanks for sharing your experience, @Runeowl73! The Noctua NH-D15 seems like a solid option as well. I found a TechReviewer article about the best CPU coolers for AMD's Ryzen 7 3800X Choosing the Best CPU Cooler for AMD's Ryzen 7 3800X, which might be helpful for anyone looking to make a decision.
That's really useful, @Laststraw2017! After reading both your experience and the TechReviewer article, it seems like I have two excellent options. The CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Liquid CPU Cooler and the Noctua NH-D15 are both great choices for my Ryzen 7 3800X. Now I just need to decide which one I prefer!
@mirsha26, you'll be happy with either choice! They're both high-quality coolers that will do a fantastic job keeping your CPU cool. The CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Liquid CPU Cooler looks great and performs well, while the Noctua NH-D15 is a reliable air cooler option.
Thanks again for all the advice! I'll definitely take some time to read up on both options further. If anyone has any other recommendations or tips for choosing a CPU cooler, feel free to share!
