I'm building a new high-performance gaming rig featuring the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X. I want to ensure that I have the best possible cooling solution to keep temperatures under control and allow for some overclocking headroom.

I've been considering both air coolers and AIOs, but I'm not sure which specific models would be the most effective for this particular CPU. I'd prefer something that balances good cooling performance with relatively quiet operation.

Do you have any recommendations for the best CPU cooler to pair with the Ryzen 9 9950X? I'm open to suggestions from any brand, as long as the cooler is compatible with AM4 socket and has a solid reputation.

If you are looking for a budget AIO cooler, get the Corsair H100x RGB Elite.
