AMD 5900x cooling

Hi

will a Noctua NH-U9S be adequate to cool a 5900x? A taller fan may mean I need to go buy a bigger case.

cheers

What best air cooler for a 5900x or do most people use an AIO.?

Hi
Thanks all
My current pc has a suspect me so looks like I’ll need to upgrade. Got one more test to do to get it working then it’s a rebuild.

I was hoping that my current fan might be up to the job as otherwise I’ll need a bigger case to accommodate a taller fan. I think it’s going to be between the Noctua D15 or the Dark Rock

Thanks, I’ll have to dig through my old pc boxes to see if I have an AMD bracket. I think they’re only a few quid on here.
