Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a CPU cooler for my 9800X3D processor. I've been checking out the **be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5** and the **be quiet! Dark Rock 5**. Are these solid choices for my CPU, or do you have other recommendations? I'd really appreciate any advice you can give me. Thanks!

I chose the Phantom Spirit 120 EVO, and I'm really satisfied with its performance! Definitely worth considering.
The Thermalright Peerless Assassin is a fantastic choice! It's been getting some great reviews lately.
I'm a big Noctua fan, so I'd suggest the NH-D15 G2 for its performance. You’d also be fine with a Thermalright cooler, though!
I've been using the Dark Rock Pro for my 9800X3D, and it's performing really well. Just a heads up, I had to install it backwards due to RAM clearance issues, but it's pulling air through just fine!
If you're looking for a high-end air cooler, the Noctua NH-D15 G2 is a solid recommendation. For value, the Thermalright Phantom Spirit SE is a great option, too. The be quiet! models will work, but other coolers I mentioned might handle the heat a bit better.
I had some issues with Be quiet! coolers on AM5. Mine didn’t make good contact with the IHS, leading to higher temps. It's not universal, but something to watch out for.
