Hallo all - I've recently built a system with the above on an MSI Tomahawk B450 MAX2 in a Bitfenix Mesh Nova TG SE A-RGB case and would like to change the stock cooler for something A: a bit better and B: more gaudy (rgb)
This case and this motherboard

The space between the top of the board and the inside of the glass is just over 160mm. The ones I was considering were
Jonsbro CR-1000 GT 120mm ARGB
and
AeroCool Cylon 4F ARGB

I assume that size would fit in the case ok. They are both ARGB so would I be able to plug the led cable into the BitFenix 6+6 Controller that currently sets the case fans so the cpu fan would sync with them?

Are those linked coolers going to be better than the stock AMD Wraith Stealth cooler that came with the chip? I'm not OCing at the moment but would like something capable if I do, plus early temps seem to be ~75°c during gaming although I've not done much gaming/testing yet. Using Cinebench temps went no higher that 84°c

Cheers all :)

Edit: Is it worth fitting an additional 120mm fan on the top of the case as an additional exhaust?
