For my Ryzen 9 7950X3D, should I get a 360 AIO liquid cooler or a Noctua air cooler?

    Can’t speak for the 7950 but my 7900 idles near 60c and peaks at 85c on a 240mm aio. It’s hotter than I’d like, but my understanding is that the X3D models run quite hot regardless of how much cooling you give them.

      The single CCD X3Ds generally operate at a lower power budget. I think the same is true to an extent with the 7950x3d
