Hey there, I'm currently running the AM5 platform with my R5 7600 and Pure Rock 2 (150 TDP). I'm thinking about upgrading to a Ryzen 7 7800X3D. I'm wondering if my existing cooler is still enough or if I need a replacement. I noticed the R7 7800X3D has a default TDP of 120, while my new cooler offers 150 TDP. I'm a bit unsure since my cooler is already quite old.

The 7800X3D seems to be the simplest AM5 processor to manage heat, which means it should help maintain the 7600's temperature. Although it might be labeled at 120W, real-world usage usually stays around 60W due to constraints on voltage, speed, and power handling.

Yeah, for 250 Euro that chip is great.

Sure, I'm here to help with your OCD concerns. And don't worry about the rock—your pure rock is still great! Let me know if you need anything else.
