What are the best CPU cooler options for the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D? I'm looking for something that provides excellent cooling performance without being overly noisy. I've heard mixed reviews about stock coolers. Any recommendations for air or liquid cooling solutions that fit well with this CPU? Thanks in advance for your help!

Arctic Liquid Freezer III 280mm has been my go-to for my 9900X3D build. Excellent price-to-performance ratio with those thick radiators. The VRM fan is a nice bonus for X3D chips since they can get toasty. I'm seeing idle temps around 30-32°C and max load around 70°C, which is impressive given how hot these chips can run.

Don't underestimate air cooling - the Noctua NH-D15 handles my 9900X3D just fine even during extended gaming sessions. Temps stay in the low 80s under heavy load. The key is good case airflow though. If you prefer AIOs, the Corsair H150i Elite or Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 are excellent choices. Just make sure your case can fit whatever you choose!

The Ryzen 9 9900X3D benefits from a robust cooler. While some high-end air coolers like the Noctua NH-D15 can handle it, a 360mm AIO like the Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN RX offers excellent performance and quieter operation.
