Hey folks! I'm rebuilding my PC and adding some exciting components like a 4080 Super and plenty of storage. I'm curious if anyone has tested thermal performance with the Ryzen 9 9950X using the Corsair iCUE Link Titan 360 RX cooler. Specifically, I'd love to know the CPU temperatures during stress tests and gaming, ideally at 4K max settings since I also stream. I'm using the following specs: Ryzen 9 9950X, the Titan 360 RX cooler, Gigabyte X870E motherboard, 32GB Corsair Vengeance RAM, 4080 Super GPU, and a total of nine RGB fans in an Lian Li O11 Dynamic case. I originally wanted a 480mm cooler, but they're out of stock, so I hope this one works just fine! I'll start building this on May 9th when the cooler arrives, so any insights on temperature performance while streaming would really help! Thanks a ton!

You should be fine with the Ryzen 9 9950X and the Corsair 360mm cooler! It's unlikely to get anywhere close to thermal throttling even under load from gaming or streaming. Typically, it won't pull more than 150 watts, so you should expect decent temps. Just make sure you're running the latest BIOS and chipset drivers to get the best performance out of it!
Oh wow thank you that really puts me at ease haha!! Thanks for the heads up about updating everything. I usually use Driver Booster for my drivers, but I'll grab the BIOS from the manufacturer's site!
