5950x Cooling

[dr_shoe]

Hi all, looking for a bit of advice.

I'm currently running a 3700x using AORUS 280 AIO:

My main use for the PC is running 6-7 instances of bluestacks (android emulator). At the moment, the CPU runs around 60-70 degrees during normal operation, when there's a spike of activity in the emulators, it can go up to 80-85 for 10 seconds or so then settle down.

I'm considering upgrading to a 5900x or 5950x to add more instances/improve performance, but was wondering if my 280mm AIO will be able to handle it? As the official TDP for 3700x is 65w compared to 105w for the 5950x?

Thanks all

Your current cooler is supposedly good up to 280W TDP so you'll be fine.

It should be more than plenty... What is your case and how many fans do you have in it? That might be a bigger issue...
