Air cooler for Ryzen 5800X

[toilet pepper]

I've been watching this guy because of my NR200p build and he has a roundup of coolers for the 5800x.

Yeah, they're agreeing with you, just pointing out that it's the low speed of the fans that are the issue, not the smaller tower size.

100% fan speed at ~200W instead of noise-normalized like I shared earlier:

NH-D15 runs 5C cooler. Whether that increase in noise (up to 44 dBa vs. the 34 dBa of the FUMA 2) and price is worth it is up to the buyer.

I run my NH-D15S at 1100 rpm max. Keeps my 3900X at ~63C in the most demanding games, and about 75C in Cinebench. Makes the cooler almost inaudible (though Noctua fans make a pleasant noise) so it's a good balance. I can see why noise would become a problem at higher TDP than the locked 142W though.

I run my wife's 5800x with an old Cooler Master TPC-612. With stock mobo settings it turbos up to 4.85GHz and runs about 70C during AVX FPU stress tests in a crowded Phanteks P400A. During her 4K Vahalla game it runs around 50C. She's getting a 360 AIO this week so we'll see if it improves, but I doubt it.

I have this TPC612. What temperatures did you get? Did you notice any difference between the TPC 612 and the new 360 AIO?

The AIO works well, at least for her normal gaming workloads keeping the transient temperature in check. I'll have to run the same tests to see a comparison and I'll get back to you. I also have a TPC-812 on one of my other Ryzens, and two other Ryzens under custom water loops lol.

Air Coolers,

Thermalright ARO-M14O/G, True Spirit 140. Scythe Mugen Max, Ashura.

Maybe DeepCool 140

Interesting to see the DRP4 outperform D15. Seems D15 is not able to handle the rapid heat build up s good as many other coolers.

Interessante ver o DRP4 superar o D15. Parece que o D15 não é capaz de lidar com a rápida acumulação de calor como muitos outros coolers.

Cooler Master MA612 seems to be a good single tower.

Can it handle a 12700k or 9500x without overclocking?

Would using a dual tower be overkill?

I see a lot of reviews using the NH - U12A.

Thermalright FC140 is an awesome air cooler. You can find them on Amazon, but if not there is a lot on AliExpress.

Not sure, but it seems like U12A performs excellent on Zen 2 and 3, although GPU is worse off. It often outperforming larger coolers that should perform better like D15 on Zen2\3. Seems it can soak up a lot of concentrated heat fast.

R7 5800X here too using an Cryorig R1 Universal along with a coupe of tweaks to the PPT/EDC and an all core 4775MHz clock I runs 75c on CB23 multi so basically any decent 140mm cooler will do if you also teak the PPT/EDC settings right and lower the stock voltage a wee bit because it's set way to high.
feel free to check out this thread right here on TPU

it's very informative and the teaks actually work well

I know this isn't what you have asked, but my 12600k is basically the same as a 5800X and it only takes a cheap Arctic Freeze 34 to cool.
Idk whether you already have the motherboard or what prices you can get for parts tho.

Keep in mind a 5800X, while hard(est) to cool, will work just fine with "stock" cooling. It just won't boost as high and it will throttle earlier.

There is no stock cooler for anything after a 5600X

Hence the quotes
I meant cheap, no frills cooler.

I’m not sure how well that will work, a cheap bottom of the barrel cooler. I have an older Le Grand Macho RT on my 5600X. That cooler on older hardware was the best cooler I had ever owned. 32nm no problem, 22nm was a bit warmer, and with 7nm it struggles. I can still run near it’s limit, but with 7nm it gets warm at the top end.

And that's exactly what I said: the CPU will be a bit constrained thermally. But it will work, modern CPUs are that smart.

For the 5800x i can only recommend a dual tower air cooler,
Thermalright PA120: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Review | Overclock.net
Thermalright FC140
Deepcool AK620
and finally Scythe fuma 2 rev. B.
depending on your budget and case size can go either of these dual towers.

 

[The red spirit]

Alpenföhn Brocken 3. Or basically the biggest hunk of metal that you can find as cheap as you can.

The ARO M14G is a Macho Cooler, handles the 5800 flawlessly and max stock boost is only 100MHz difference from the 5800X.

Hmm.. well I have some new TIM waiting for me at home, maybe I will give it a fresh smear this weekend.

I used Kryonaut but i wouldnt be surprised if mx4 and AS5 do well

I am using AS5 right now., I might have went a bit thin.. this weekend I will slap some SYY-157 on. It’s fairly cheap and works pretty well.

I got in habbit of twisting hsf when i put them on

As someone who's tested this: quality 120mm air coolers (and bigger) will actually work just fine for stock speeds, or PBO if tweaked
I used a be quiet dark rock slim while my water loop was out (it's on my 3700x normally) and it did the job just fine, and quietly.


Any noctua or be quiet! dark rock, will handle it fine.

Dark rock slim performed good on 5600X, changing to a D15 only improved allcore speed by 50-75MHz. Going from Wraith stealth to DRS improved allcore speed by over 200MHz
