Is this cooler as good as my present one?

About 42 @100% and 34 ish at idle
depending on weather
Will be putting fan back on soon so will give a better/accurate report then
Ram testing not going well too many errors no matter what i try with this gskill.Rock solid at default but any higher

Problem i am sure is user not competant

So 50c vs 42c 100% & 40c vs 34c at idle. That's plenty safe, assuming 70c is about as hot as is safe.

I'm using the DRP3, amazing performance but same issue. Had to move the outside fan far from the memory but avoiding touching the side window. Was a gap of 1 or 2mm from the window, and about 1mm from the memory. Not much room.
I'm going water now.
As others suggested, the actual Ryzen at average use, don't need such massive cooler. The vantage is that as they're an overkill, you can run them at the minimum speed and still achieve acceptable performance. Or you could run without the outside fan.
