Ive just picked up a 5800x and i know they run warm i have an ITX case with glass side panels and a max hight at 75mm on the coolers.
if i stick it in eco mode can it do done? or do i just need to buy an 240mm AIO and cut the case

the cooler i have now but have never used is a Thermalright AXP120-X67 BLACK.
i always just run my 5600 on a 120mm AIO and it gamed at 60~65c...

would the 120mm 45mm think AIO be upto the job?

only ever gaming load, not even stress testing as i dont OC, the CPU will be in Eco or have a curve optimiser off set
 
The key is having enough intake airflow for the rad while having enough exhaust airflow to remove the hot air in the case.

The best option could be an intake fan at full speed on the radiator and the AIO at max flow rate with an exhaust fan at full speed to hopefully result in the equilibrium max case temperature being functional. Then the optimal setup would be to slow down the fans to whatever is still functional.

I now have the Noctua 120x15mm fans you recommended as intake fans on two 120mm standard sized radiators with the CPU and GPU custom water cooled. The Thermalright C12015s at 1500RPM cannot compete (also their motor isn't always silent) whereas it's only airflow noise from the Noctua fans. There is an annoying pulsing going on though from both makes of fans due to the tight fit where the are installed but I hope to solve that.
 
That Thermalright should be able to cool 5800X even at stock. As well as any other cooler that is, still hitting 90C under heavy load.
Eco mode will be no problem at all, will be just like 5600
As long as you have some hot air exhaust

If you are only worried about temperature, a substitution to eco mode is the temperature limiter in bios. Where eco would limit boost if it exceeds power consumption, this lets CPU boost high until temperature rises. Could be more responsive in some cases.
 
@Wing-Man That particular 5800X is good sample.

It never got hot while I used it but it was under an open loop. Think the highest I saw was 76 under all core load. Gaming was low 50s.

I was able to reduce temps further via PBO (I mad a note of the PPT etc, just need to find em and I’ll send them over). This maintained boost but reduced temps not that 76 stock was high for 5800X.

Also note and a little off topic, the IF/Memory controller is pretty good too :).

i was so close to buying this cooler but the Thermalright was half the price so i thought i would give it a go. I've had it a bit now and it still in the box.

you know what it like you hear story's, when the 5700x came out they was all going on about it been so much cooler than the 5800x that's impossible to cool.
but i haven't looked into it in anyway

i been told a good chip will still boost to 4.6Ghz in eco mode under gaming load thats all i was aiming for, but if you can finer me your number over id be happy to try them in my system.

Yer i think i just listed to stories about the chip...

i think this is what i will do. if i set a cap of 80c from what i'm hearing under game load this should never even kick in, i think ive been listing to the wrong people and this chip.

This is worth looking at. Have a 5800x on a work machine, didn't wan't it running at 90deg whenever under load. So set the thermal limit to 80. Lost only about 5% performance & it's a 1-click in the bios. It will boost as high as it can, while maintaining the chosen temperature.

I see single core boosts upto 4.65GHZ when gaming.
 
Suspect the chip will be with you today so I’m looking forward to reading how you get on. Make sure you post the progress:)
 
I ran my 5800x in a Formd T1 case with an L12s cooler from Noctua for a while with no issues at all.

I didn't bother with Eco mode, I just changed the PBO limits to the following and found I got a significant temp reduction without a noticeable performance loss (I think I measured it at 3-5% max).

PPT 120 / TDC 75 / EDC 110

These values worked best with my 5800x, yours maybe a bit different but it's worth playing around a bit to find what works!

tiny small low profile case but cooler... not so much:

get creative or more specific with your needs.
 
The case I have as 2 glass panels. You can get the same case with 2 vented panels. I was going to buy that and swap one of the panels then sell it.

I vented panel would just fix everything…
I was just looking at different cases last night.

I’ve seen things like this but your cooler is epic

I assume silent.

I have no I/o to help cool I worked out I could pass the pipes of and aio out there and just strap it to my desk and nobody would know

thats not my machine in the pic, was an example i found on the net to give an idea of what you can do depending on what direction you want to take.
