You're thinking about switching to the 5800X3D later this year and want to make sure your existing components can support it. You're considering a new cooler and are concerned about compatibility. You're looking for something affordable with solid cooling power for the 5800X3D, along with a blue LED fan to match your setup. Here are the four options you're evaluating:
1. Arctic Freezer A35 RGB CPU Cooler
2. Deep Cool Gamma X GTE V2
3. Antec C40 CFU
4. A40PRO case fan (with blue LED)
You’re especially interested in the Arctic Freezer A35, as it’s reported to handle 3900X and 5950X, and should keep your 5800X3D under 90°C at full load. You’re also planning to keep your current case and motherboard, so you’ll want to check if the new cooler will fit properly in your existing setup.
Your current fans include two intake and one exhaust, plus a MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX. You’re wondering if the VRMs can handle the 5800X3D’s power demands.
I believe a broader approach would be better. These chips heat up quickly and require ample airflow. This seems to involve a side intake with very little volume. You don’t need a massive fan, but for example, my highest temperatures dropped 15°C when switching from a Corsair 4000X to a Fractal Pop Air XL. I’d upgrade to a B550 board myself. I’m not claiming it won’t work, just that I wouldn’t feel confident with a 5800/X/3D, 5900X or 5950X and B450 configuration. I use the Asus Tuf B550-PLUS, and my only regret is skipping the PRO variant, which has a 3.2 header that the PLUS lacks. Regarding the cooler, four air tubes might not provide enough cooling. I currently run a Scythe Mugen 5 (six tubes compared to the four on the others) and it performs well. A four-tube setup could be less effective. The 5 S is almost the same but with some upgrades.

The component uses less than 5800x and a bit over 5700g, reaching up to around 110 watts. A 125w TDP cooler would suffice. I’m not sure about the cooler you selected, but it looks like you went for RGB models. My Scythe FUMA 2, which handles 5800x, should work fine. The Wraith Prism might struggle under load and could run hot, with a noisy fan. I chose the Fuma 2 since the 5800x wasn’t included and it’s quieter. Tomohawk boards offered better VRMs on B450 chipsets, so they should manage the 5800x3d without issues.
I share An0maly's view that the setup isn't ideal for air cooling. It seems tuned for water cooling. I'd likely choose something like an Arctic Liquid Freezer II, though it's pricier. It would perform much better and remain more affordable than replacing the cooler and case.
Even when cooled with liquid, your radiators need to be positioned both top and bottom, but the front isn't doing anything.
The 5800x3d requires strong cooling. A 125W cooler is necessary to prevent overheating and clock instability. Even with low power draw, the vcache contributes to high temperatures. Consider an AK620 or a 280mm AIO or better cooler.
The situation isn't suitable for front intake. Consider placing fans at the base for intake, refer to the details below.
I thought it might be similar. Most of the serious setups I've observed used side-draft vents, some unidirectional like the NZXT H510 (another aquarium model).
Those without a chip shouldn’t discuss power consumption. Someone claimed the 5600X uses up to 90 watts max because they had many review links, and I shared a screenshot displaying over 130 watts for PPT. The X3D model handles 143 watts with that cache, which is quite high. I’m not asserting those figures are consistent every time, but they reflect its capabilities.
