What is the best cooler for AMD Ryzen 7950X / 7950X3D?

Your processor dictates the cooler for you. For the AMD Ryzen 7000 series of CPUs, which includes the likes of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, Ryzen 7 7700X, Ryzen 7 7800X, and the Ryzen 9 7950X you will need to pick a cooler that can handle the heat produce by the CPU so you can use it to its full potential. This includes the X3D variants of these chips as well, such as the 7800X3D and 7950X3D.

In this article we will look at AIO coolers (All-In-One), and which one will fit you best.

To find the cooler which is compatible with your CPU socket, we have made a quick tool that will ensure that you do not run into any problems once your shiny new AIO cooler arrives.

While using the tool you will be asked not only what CPU you have, but also what case, and graphics card you have. This is so we can check compatibility for you, and so that you do not end up in a situation where your new AIO cooler will not fit into your case because your graphics card is too long.

As seen in the image above, in some cases you are easily able to fit for example a 360mm AIO cooler in the front, but should you use a graphics card that is longer than the one shown above, the AIO cooler would need to either be placed in the top, or you would need a larger case.
