Arctic freezer 34 9800X3D

Hi all.

Would this cooler be ok for a temp solution for about a week until I get my new one?

Yeah it might be a bit warm but turn PBO off and maybe set ECO mode if you're worried

That's great. One more thing Is the cooler compatible with AM5? Do I install It the same way as AM4?

If it doesn't use its own custom backplate to mount then it will work with AM5.

AM4 and AM5 have the same mounting so yes it will work

Great cooler mate cools my 9950x3d very well.

There's a few variants of the freezer 34 the basic with a 150w to co and e sports which have a tdp of 210w.

But agree there decent.

I have a 5700X3D with an Arctic Freezer 36 and it runs generally fine, being able to reach max boost clocks in gaming and productivity. In stress tests, it will hit around 85C and boost slightly below the max, but won't throttle. This is at stock. With an undervolt (mine handles -30), it stays under 85C even with most stress tests. Your CPU has about a ~15W higher TDP than mine, so it should be OK in most scenarios, especially if you plan to undervolt. Your cooler is very similar to mine. There is a great PC analytics article on your cooler. Overall, it's perhaps not the single best cooler for the job, but if you're willing to undervolt and/or have a slightly more aggressive fan setting, you should be absolutely fine.
