I just purchased a 9950X3D for my new build and need advice on cooling this beast. I've heard it runs pretty hot under load. Budget is around $150 but flexible for something truly worth it. Looking at both AIOs and high-end air coolers. My case is a Corsair 5000D Airflow with decent space. Main usage will be gaming and some video editing. What's your experience with cooling this CPU? Any specific models you'd recommend for optimal temps without excessive noise?
