I do not overclock anything because it loses life faster. I like my shit to last longer lol (personal preference) L!ckALotAPus, Twinkie 13, Blackbart and 1 other 4

It comes with the CPU anyways, and if you want to overclock in the future, you can just remove the stock cooler and replace it with the AIO. In fact, you could overclock with a Wraith Prism cooler, as explored by JayzTwoCents in this video -->

I was talking with my hubby and he has the same Ryzen as you. He said it has the best stock air cooler. He started over clocking and had to switch to the AIO water cooler and has no issues at all.

If your overclocking AIO is the way to go.

Hey Bart !! I just built a 2700X too !!!! Stock cooler is more than adequate. My damn studio pc bit the dust (motherboard went bad) and I had to put together another one. I went with the Gigabyte X470 Gaming 5 motherboard. As far as cpu heat, no issues what so ever and the stock cooler is pretty damn quiet. Blackbart 1 Awards

Just for good measure, my i7 4770K is running a middle-of-the-road overclock to 4.0GHz since the darn thing came out (mid-2013). my AIO is the Corsair H110i. Overclocking will reduce CPU life a little, but mostly if pushed close to the max and associated overvolting...I doubt that you need to OC that Ryzen (nice CPU BTW) yet.... Awards

We know that PSU start tanking as they age, but you got more than enough room to keep this PSU for a long time and it should survive to your next upgrades too...a good foundation makes for a solid build!

Typing this temps is bouncing from 35-40c and 4.1+ ghz on all cores. Cranked up Prime95 for the last 6-8 minutes and the temps are steady at 62c and cores are running at 4.046 ghz, 100% usage. Only some testing will tell if the stock cooler will fill your needs. Awards

Also need to add more fans for motherboard cooling cause water block has no fan Awards

It's a 3.5ghz 8 core cpu and I have it overclocked to 4.8ghz. But I am using 4 fans on the radiator in a push push pull pull configuration. 2 inside the case pushing air up through and 2 on top of the radiator pulling air up through. BUT I run the fans at 6v so they only turn 1000 rpm max. With 4 running I still get 72cfm of pressure per pair but they are dead silent. The original Corsiar fans were loud as hell even running off of 6v because they are a dual ball bearing type fan. The fans are nothing special, just some cheap Cooler Master SickleFlow 120mm fans. I bought 40 of them on Black Friday a few years ago for $3.95 each. They work good but I can tell ya that they do not last. I had 2 that the bearings were noisy in rite out of the box. The ones I have are the 1st generation single ball bearing fan. The new SickleFlow fans have a rubber O ring to keep the dust out of the bearings. They are around $10 each on newegg $7.50 each if you buy 10+. I can't afford the the good Noctua 120mm silent fans. Those things are around $40 each but they are the best fans that you can get.
