Hi Folks,

I've got a 7800X3D and currently have a 360 AIO (Fractal Design S36).

Looking around, it appears I can get better performance - and by that, I mean cooling. I'm not worried about sound levels.

Can anyone advise what the best AIO out at the moment is?

It appears to be pretty close between:

Cooler Master MasterLiquid Atmos 360
LIAN LI GALAHAD II TRINITY PERFORMANCE
ASUS ROG Ryujin III 360 AIO

Happy to consider others - what seems to be the best ?
 
Don't even spend that much. Artic cooling do a good one for way less. Also the new Thermal take AIO's are very good. You could consider air and something like the Peerless Assassin dual fan? White and black, argb or plain and good performance.

If you’re buying the artic freezer, make sure it’s compatible with your mb.
I nearly bought one but it didn’t fit, so got the TR frozen vision which has been flawless and cools the 9800X3D just fine.

This is the way. Arctic for an AIO, they stand by their products and price/performance is excellent.

If it ain't broke and cooling fine why not keep on using it? why would you think changing from that 360 AIO (Fractal Design S36) to another would be better?

So thats ultimately my position I want to test.

I'm getting peaks of about 72 ish with my current cooler, and if I understood correctly AMD CPUs boost higher for longer if cooled appropriately. When doing 3DMark Timespy as an example its not a solid line at 5.05Ghz , there are a few (4-5?) bumps where it drops to 4.8 ish for a second or so, so I assumed this was the CPU backing off.

If that is totally false and there will be zero improvement, I won't bother :)

Find out where that CPU throttles. I don't think 72 is the limit of that CPU anyway.
 
72’C for a Ryzen chip is very good under load, they’re designed to run even up to 90’C without issue. Stick with what you have, it seems to be working well.
 
7800X3D will see little to no benefit between different 280/360/420mm AIO's.

The 9800X3D may see a small difference due to it's higher boosting and overclocking support, but the main benefit of some of the coolers is lower noise at a set performance more than being able to get more performance as such.

I found that out with the X870 hero although the cooler was already past the return date so ended up removing the top gen 5 heatsink and used a 990 pro heatsink version in that slot instead.
