I'm in the market for a new all-in-one (AIO) cooler for my CPU since I'm hitting around 90°C while gaming. I'm really leaning towards a 360mm AIO, but I'm a bit unsure which one to choose. I initially thought about the Arctic Liquid Freezer 360, but I've heard it may not perform well with AMD chips. I'd love to hear your recommendations!

If you're keen on sticking with an AIO for the aesthetics, I get it! They do look cleaner. Just don't overlook that the Peerless Assassin is a solid air cooler that gives great temps without breaking the bank. Plus, it’s just a hunk of metal; they’re pretty durable!
If you're really set on an AIO, I'd suggest reconsidering an air cooler. A Thermalright Phantom Spirit is keeping my setup nice and cool without issues. Plus, it's safer since AIOs can fail eventually. And definitely think about undervolting your CPU for better temps!
I had a similar situation and realized that any decent air cooler is reliable. My AIO went bad, and that’s what caused my high temps. Consider something like the Noctua NH-D15S; it’ll last and perform well.
Honestly, you might not even need an AIO for the 5800X3D. It’s known to not handle overclocking, so a decent air cooler should do the trick just fine and keep things simple without the potential problems of an AIO.
