Hey everyone! I'm looking to effectively cool my i9-13900K. Right now, I'm considering the Arctic LF3 or the LF3 Pro in white RGB, but I'm also open to other suggestions within a budget of 200 euros. Just to give you some context, I currently have the Lian Li Galahad V1, but I've noticed it thermal throttles pretty easily in games. My R23 score is around 18k, which seems low to me. I have a couple of the performance cores running hotter than others, so I've ordered a contact frame for LGA1700. I'm thinking about upgrading the AIO since this processor is known for generating heat and I want to see if that would improve performance. I do some overclocking, but I'm hitting thermal throttling even at default settings. Let me know your thoughts!

You should definitely consider a triple fan setup (360mm), especially since that chip runs pretty hot. Check out this guide on the best AIO coolers for some options!
Thanks for the tip! I'm leaning towards the LF3 Pro now. Quick question: I've heard the non-Pro model might be better for the LGA1700 socket but the Pro has better overall performance. Which one would you recommend getting? Is it a significant upgrade from my current cooler?
