I'm upgrading my rig with a Ryzen 9 5900X and need advice on the best CPU cooler. I'm torn between air and liquid cooling. My priorities are performance, noise levels, and reliability. Any recommendations based on personal experience? Should I stick with the stock cooler or invest in a high-end solution? Budget isn't a major concern, but I'd like to get good value for money. Thanks!
Air cooling: Consider Noctua NH-D15 G2
Liquid cooling: Opt for ARCTIC COOLING Liquid Freezer III 280.
Both options offer effective cooling, but liquid cooling generally provides better performance for high-end systems, while air cooling is simpler and more cost-effective.
