Ryzen 2700x cooling/clocking

I know, but why have noisy system, when you can make it more quiet and a bit more capable with £5 bracket :)

Won't argue that point, just pointing out to the OP that the stock cooler (especially if you don't mind noise) is more than capable.
 
Still entirely undecided. I've been very pleased with the cooling I've been getting and basically just put CPU in 'turbo' mode on the motherboard standard settings as I've not had much time to play around, running realbench stress for an hour or so ran the CPU up too 72c which I'm very pleased with. It was kicking out some noise which I said isn't much of an issue for me. Still thinking more towards a hard-line custom loop, but if I do that I want to get a wall mounted case to shift it out of the way basically.
 
How are you S340 case fans setup now? Assuming your S340 has stock case fans as intake your case is probably not supplying CPU with needed cool air. First thing I would do is change the to front intake and remove PCIe slot covers so there is more exhaust vent area around GPU.

S340 has 161mm CPU clearance, so while that is not a lot it is enough to allow some very good air coolers to fit. A couple of good 140mm intake fans and a good air cooler are what I think is best way forward. If you continue using your H100 with new mount, keep the stock air cooler for when our pump fails. If you don't have a backup cooler and pump goes out you can't use your system until you get a new cooler installed.
 
So I have the fronts sucking cold are in and the top and the rear pulling hot air out. I have 2 120mm 0.40a Corsair fans on the front, a 120mm high pressure noctua on the rear and a high pressure 140mm Corsair on the top. I see what you mean I think AIO's are possibly the mosted hated things in computing at the moment Lol! Which air cooler would you recommend? :D
 
I would move the 140mm to front intake and ideally get another 140 to go with it. 2x 140mm fans move about the same amount of air as 3x 120mm fans of similar design, and you need as much front to back airflow as possible. Like I said above, we want good front to back airflow so we can keep the heated GPU exhaust that is being dumped in all directions pushed back and out of case.

Need to know what your RAM height is to be sure cooler will clear it.

NH-D14 is still one of the very best for £62.99 .. but it's fans are not PWM so check your motherboard to be sure it supports variable voltage on CPU fan header/s

Scythe Mugen 5 is good and only £42.95

Prolimatech Megahalems is also good from £47 to £72 depending on if it comes with fan or what fan you choose. PH-F120MP is £11 and very good.

ph-f140mp are very good case fans with 2-pack only £16.26

Righto, can't believe there's that much difference between 140mm fans and 120mm fans!! Insane ! My ram is Corsair vengeance, the small standard stuff with the black trims on. I take it the difference between the air coolers you mentioned are minimal?
 
All are within a few degrees of each other with NH-D14 being the best. While D14 came out 8 years ago it is still one of the very best coolers out there .. it's only down side is fans not being PWM, but if your motherboard CPU fan headers can do variable voltage D14 is best way to go.
 
Ok that's something I need to look into, not very familiar with this board as I've only had it a few days, it is an Asus Prime x470 pro.

Quick look at motherboard manual finds
"1x CPU Fan connecter (4-pin) for both 3-pin (DC mode) CPU coolers control with auto-detection support."
​
So NH-D14 cooler is mount, plug-in fans and away you go. The most you might need to do is adjust fan speed to temp curve. ;)
