I'm building a new PC and considering the LianLi Lancool 216 case. My setup includes an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X processor paired with a MSI PRO B850-S motherboard and a Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16GB of GDDR6 memory. I'm leaning towards an air cooler instead of an AIO, and the only option available where I'm purchasing is the CyberPowerPC V4-NXP Air Cooler, which has a TDP of 250W. Is this cooler adequate for my configuration? Additionally, I was thinking about adding three extra 120mm fans—do you think that's necessary for keeping the system cool in the Lancool 216?

Your components are indeed pretty efficient, and that cooler is actually more than enough for what you're working with. So no worries there, you've got a solid choice!
Neither the 9600X nor the 9060 XT generate a lot of heat, so that cooler should work perfectly fine for your setup. Honestly, adding those three extra fans might be overkill since the Lancool 216 has good airflow as is. You should be all set!
Oh cool! (pun not intended) I might save some coin then and leave the 3 extra fans. Thanks for the advice!
Ah, brill. Thank you! I was worried it wasn't gonna be enough. Nice one.
