Hey everyone! I recently got a Ryzen 5 7600X and I'm having a tough time picking the right CPU cooler. I've heard a lot about using an AIO, but I'm pretty lost on what to choose. Right now, I'm leaning towards the Corsair iCUE LINK H100i. I initially had my eye on a Deepcool option, but a local shop owner warned me that they're tricky to install. Can anyone suggest what to go for?

I’m using the Be Quiet! Pure Rock Pro 3 LX with my 7600X, and it keeps everything super cool. It’s an air cooler, not water, and I’ve got no complaints!
If you want top-tier cooling, the Arctic Liquid Freezer is the standout AIO for both temperature control and low noise. However, I'd still recommend sticking with air cooling. The price vs. performance for air coolers is just better. Look into options like the Peerless Assassin or Hyper 212 if you're on a budget! They perform great without breaking the bank.
Gotcha. Yeah, I was just worried because everyone said to do AIO, but I felt like it was too expensive for what my CPU is.
