Which CPU cooler?

In terms of pure performance the new king is the Phanteks 360 AIO according to this review: https://www.kitguru.net/components/...undup-9-coolers-tested-w-amd-ryzen-9-5950x/6/

It also happens to be on sale at the minute: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/wate...water-coolers?ckSuppliers=473&ckTab=0&sSort=2

The hardest part about the build was finding a cpu cooler which will give me ram clearance. hopefully Noctua NH-D15S Dual Radiator Quiet CPU Cooler will be fine!

Great choice. Phanteks are a quality outfit with great customer service too if you ever have any problems. My last 2 cases have been Phanteks and I recently purchased their new 360 AOI cooler. I recommend getting an AOI cooler to tame your 5800X by the way, as per the link I posted above and based on my own experience with this chip. Unless you're particularly sensitive to noise when the CPU is working flat out, then the big air coolers aren't competing with the top end AOI coolers with the 5000 series Ryzen chips.
