Arctic II Ryzen 3600

Hi

I'm looking at getting an AIO for the first time ever on a ryzen 3600 - want to try one as don't fancy the stock cooler or massive aftermarket ones but can't really find info on what size radiator is needed for what processor.

The Arctic II solutions look good - question is, is the 120mm enough for a ryzen 3600 with no overclocking? Or is 240mm needed.

Thanks

go for a 240

You don't need a 240mm AIO on the 3600 (I am using a 120 on my wife's 3600X sitting @ ~67C under full load in an ITX case) but generally the price difference is small enough that the 240mm makes more sense.

Thanks for your responses - agreed, I like the idea of the 120mm but for about a tenner more the 240 is a good option. Cheers.
