I also understand that 32 gigs might be a bit excessive for a 3700x. I often juggle multiple tasks and enjoy high-performance gaming. I’m aiming to upgrade to Zen 3 soon.
It seems the NH-U12S Chromax is a solid choice with full RAM support. However, its performance on a 3700x remains uncertain.
Noctua NH-U12S suits compact designs. For tiny form factors, choose the Noctua NH-U12S. Opt for the Scythe Fuma 2 if you prefer a dual tower cooler, as it offers better performance compared to the single tower version. Both models cost $60, but the Scythe Fuma 2 delivers superior cooling efficiency.
Consider checking that review. If it supports a 9900K at 4.9GHz, it should work with a Ryzen CPU. The manufacturer confirmed they have a 3700X, so there are no concerns.
At the moment I was writing, I wasn’t sure what CPU he had. Now I understand, and you’re correct—possibly he could have had the Ryzen 9 3950x. Also, Ryzen CPUs tend to run warmer.
The 3950X lacks a built-in cooler, which might explain why. Remember that the 9900K tends to overheat, while the Arctic cooler performed well. It’s not the top choice, but it offers solid value for its cost.
Overclocking Ryzen offers limited gains. It's wiser to rely on precision boost for handling performance.
Precision enhancement raises temperatures and offers minimal impact on overall performance, which has been observed.
