I've just purchased a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and was wondering if my current Fractal Design Celsius+ S28 Prisma will be OK with this CPU?
It is about 4 years old but the PC was barely used for about 2 of those years. I'm currently using it with an Intel i7 11700k, I have no problems and did a few stress tests. It keeps the CPU at around 72C when running gaming stress tests. Running just CPU stress tests it is around 65C so that extra heat is from my 3070 I guess. 3070 does get hot and fans get very loud. Room temp around 22C when tested.
I'll be replacing the 3070 with a 5080 as soon as I can get one.
I also have a new case with better airflow for the new build.
I'm not trying to be cheap but I don't see the point in replacing the cooler for £100+ if my current one will be OK.
