AMD Risen 9950x3d

as above stated they dont come with a cooler
ive had one of these for around 2 or 3 weeks now i think and ive been running it with the peerless assassin 120 digital
ive done a reasonable amount of cinebench runs and similar tests and it stays well within reasonable temps and scores
as expected for the cpu in said tests...
 
Even if they do, they're not great just blocks of metal no heatpipes so for £25 get something that cools better and quieter, plus instead of blasting hot air down onto VRM it draws it up and away near to the case exhaust fan

one model does have pipes though

The CPU is about 100 watts at full tilt. Most HSFs are rated for 200watts. A 120mm AIO should be good for about 300watts at room temp.

If you don't bother with noise level a smaller AIO 240mm will do. But in my experience, this CPU is hot even when gaming on 360mm AIO can reach over 70C
 
im pretty sure mine pulls more than 100w? either way i havnt had any cooling problems think the highest ive seen on a stress test was like 70 maybe 71 degrees on one sensor and im only using the peerless assassin
so Ive not found it that hard to cool, admittedly ive got a half decent case airflow going on that might be helping
i thought it was closer to 170+ watts

Yeah, they are pretty low power and easy to cool. To hit 170 watts you’d have to be performing some pretty mental processing while making full speed read/writes in and out of DRAM and to really fast NVME/thunderbolt device or something. Even then, I’d be surprised if power consumption got near 170 watts for the SOC.

you do realise were talking about the 9950x3d the 16 core not hte 9800/9850x3d 8 core cpu here?
these are 16 cores
a quick google suggests north of 200w under max loaded conditions which seems about right tdp is quoted as 170w according to the published specs
