Planning on using it to cool a 5800x3d. What do you guys recommend?

I went for the DeepCool LS520. Just waiting for my case to arrive then I will report back.

It’s my first AIO - any tips or things I should be aware of? The radiator will be mounted across the top.

Are you using the fans for in or out? Im assuming as at the top out, so are you going to push or pull through the rad. I am pulling in my setup so the fans are next to the case and then the radiator is below them in the case. This makes cleaning easier as I only have to worry about cleaning the face of the rad I can easily see and access.

I just installed it and I am using them to push air up and out the radiator/case.

Is the DeepCool supposed to be quite noisy? The fans sound like jet engines when they spin up! and they seem to spin up a lot.

yeah, I changed the fan profile to combat the noise when they spin up.

How can I do that? Can you share your settings please?

Thanks, set the fan curve and it's much better.

Are these normal temps for the 5800x3d? When gaming I have seen temps hit 80c?

i run my 5900X in ECO 65W mode. I lose a little performance but when gaming I’m in the 40-50c range.

but 80c does still seem a little high.

And thats with the -30 CO undervolt too... I may reseat the cooler and apply new thermal paste. I used the stock one that was pre-applied.

so your currently using the included cooler? Correct?

I'm using the LS520, so the AIO.
