This would likely work well for an AM5 setup. Fans should operate between 20-30% initially, increasing to 60% under load above 70°C, and reaching full speed at 95°C max temperature. The system should maintain cooling below 70°C by adjusting between 30% and 60% speeds.
Used a 7900x in 2022 prior to upgrading to a 7800x3D. No problems during Fractal Torrent with a basic Deepcool AK620 air cooler. Performance metrics showed mid to high 80s in Cinebench, 50s and 60s in games. Curve Optimizer -40 (ASRock exclusive) was the sole adjustment. System fans remained steady at around 40% PWM until reaching 85°C, after which they rose to 60%, keeping the whole setup quiet in games. The 7900x doesn’t require an AIO, though the case does. https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/cinebench_-...ns/5246190
