I'm looking for advice on cooling solutions for my 9800X3D CPU. I'm currently using a Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 5, but I'm struggling with high temperatures, hitting max temps of 95 or 96°C, though my average is a bit lower around 75-85°C. I've tried undervolting the CPU but it seems to result in either loud fan noise or high temps. I've read mixed reviews about AIO coolers, particularly concerns about leaks and reliability, yet I suspect my GPU's high temps could be linked to my current air cooler. What do you suggest as a potential solution? By the way, my case is a North Fractal XL, and it was assembled by a shop, so I doubt there are issues with thermal paste or airflow. Thanks!

Honestly, you shouldn’t need an AIO for a 9800X3D; it's definitely doable with a good air cooler. If you’re experiencing high temperatures, it might be worth checking if your cooler was installed correctly or if there’s airflow issues in your case.
