cclarry Posted June 24, 2022 Author Posted June 24, 2022 Well I know that the CPU is designed to run with the stock AMD Wraith Cooler, so if you're not "Overclocking" it shouldn't be too big of a deal as long as you're keeping it cool enough. If was a tweaker, then it might matter...but I'm not.
kevin H Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 CPU cooler won’t work. Nothing left to do but throw everything in trash and get an M2 now hahah 3

Cristian Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) The current stock AMD Spire cooler (first picture) is trash tier. This is the box cooler for 5600X. The older stock AMD Spire cooler had a thicker aluminum puck and a copper vapor chamber. Then there's the AMD Wraith Prism, which is a decent downdraft cooler that used to come with 3900X. But neither of them is enough for a 5900X. The third cooler is just about right for a stock, non overclocked 5600X (it's the cooler I use, bought second hand for 20$) Edited June 24, 2022 by Cristian

He wasn't overclocking with the stock cooler when the CPU jumped to 90 degrees. He was just running a stress test with a heavy load. His key conclusion, stock cooler not a good idea with this CPU. But it's your computer, test it and see! Just trying to be helpful. I've never overclocked a PC in my life. But I've never skimped on power supplies, fans, and coolers, either. The rest is all up to you! Edited June 24, 2022 by abacab 1
Technostica Posted June 25, 2022 Posted June 25, 2022 I buy mid to high end air coolers because you have the headroom to run them silently or very quietly provided you don’t buy a power guzzling CPU. If you undervolt that helps with noise also.
cclarry Posted June 25, 2022 Author Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) After doing some legwork (that I should have done BEFORE ordering) I bought the BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4, which seems to come in at the #1 slot for Air Coolers. It was on sale for $89 at Newegg, so seemed to be the right thing to do based on the reviews, and what you guys said. The sad part is that it would cost me as much as I paid to send the Vicabo back! Newegg wants $25 for return shipping, and I only paid $29 for it...so will have to seriously consider what to do with it, or maybe use it on one of the other PC's, since they will be "Kids" computers anyways....IDK! Thanx for alerting me to the cooling issues with the 5900X, as I was not aware of them! I should have done better homework - shame on me. Edited June 25, 2022 by cclarry 1 2

I only buy from them now if it's an insanely good deal, or a last resort. First choice is always Amazon now, if they have the product I want. Always free shipping and a liberal return policy just in case... Another quality company that I occasionally buy from is B&H. They have always done me right! 1

I've bought quite a bit from B&H - they are definitely top notch!

InstrEd Posted June 25, 2022 Posted June 25, 2022 Yep B&H I like to buy my printing supplies. I used local delivery from Staples and they sent the wrong product twice. What a hassle. B&H once sent the wrong product but told be to do what I want with it and shipped out the right product for expedited delivery. Now granted it was only Photo paper size they got wrong but still the service was wonderful. 1
InstrEd Posted June 25, 2022 Posted June 25, 2022 On a serious note I hope your build goes well and let us see pictures of your new beast! 1 1

cclarry Posted June 26, 2022 Author Posted June 26, 2022 Where I'm at right now....CPU, Memory, and Vicabo cooler will arrive Monday. NVMe Mounting will arrive Wednesday, and BeQuiet Dark House Pro will arrive Wednesday. Then I start pulling parts that I'm re-using from the old build! Things have changed a lot since the last build! 1

Modular Supplies mean a lot better (and easier) routing and configuration, that much is for sure, and only what you NEED is utilized, leaving a lot less clutter! I noticed a couple of the videos I watched they used EVGA Power Supplies. The one I have here is 850 Watts, and an 80 Gold Plus. The case is a cheap case I had in the basement that was never used, and I don't need anything fancy with flashing lights, bells, and whistles! I just need it to work! LOL Having 9 drive bays won't hurt since I have a ton of drives I will need to install! I'm debating whether or not to install the Blue Ray, as I almost never use it anymore...but will probably install it anyways just because I already have the space open for it on the front panel.
