Cooler for Ryzen 5900X

[Guest2]

I currently have a Noctua NH-U14S with a Noctua NF-A15 fan in push pull. This is cooling an i7 [email protected] ghz and has been doing so for many years.

Would this be adequate to cool a 5900X provided I can get the AM4 bracket? All reviews and articles i'm reading recommend a Noctua NH-D15 but this is not far off the U14S in terms of performance from what I can see, costs another ~£70 and is huge

Sticking my current cooler on the 5900X would obviously save me some money, so any reason not to?

I think it'll be fine in all honesty. Once I'd undervolted my CPU, the temps were lower compared to my 4790k @ 4.7.
Even before that to be honest, the temps weren't terrible, early 70s was my max.

Max on what CPU? I'm looking to use this on 5900X which is not released until 5th Nov
I'm not even sure what the thermal limit is on the 5000 series / 5900X

NH-U14S is on the certified AMD list so you'll be fine.

Perfect, thanks

Update. I contacted Noctua and because I have a 14U then sent me the AM4 bracket for free
