Use a Ryzen Cooling solution for your Ryzen 7 3700X paired with a Corsair H60 cooler.
I'm preparing to upgrade from an Intel Core i5-7600K to a Ryzen 7 3700X. I've been using a Corsair H60 AIO cooler with a 4.5 GHz overclock and it worked fine for my old CPU, but online users say the 3700X gets quite hot during heavy workloads. Could the H60 be capable of handling it, or should I opt for a better cooler like the Wraith? Or should I skip both and buy a solid one instead?
The Wraith Prism should work well; testing is always a good idea. The 3700X performs efficiently, making even basic coolers like the 212 Evo or the included Wraith Prism sufficient. I’m not sure who suggested it’s a hot CPU, but you’re likely in the clear.
This Ryzen 7 3700X offers excellent power efficiency, matching the performance of the entire Ryzen 3000 series. It should consume similar power even when overclocked, making it a practical choice.
This suggests the solutions offered aren't fully sufficient. The Wraith prism works well at a low cost, though it might be a bit of a stretch to call it an official brand like Intel. Honestly, it seems like a joke—just make sure whichever option you pick matches what you need.
That looks quite reassuring. It should work well once installed and tested. After that, sharing the temperatures will likely assist others.
