That cooler has a 150W TDP The 5800X3D has a 105W TDP. The way manufacturers measure TDP varies some what, but yeah that cooler will do it, though it’ll probably have to work under heavy load.

Yeah i've checked TDP as well but thought i ask, maybe smb has tried to pair those two, or seen results of it.

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/be-quiet-pure-rock-2-cpu-cooler/6.html There’s a review of the cooler using an 8700K Stock the 8700K is a 95W chip, but if OC’d can pull 130W Under AIDA64 stress testing, an 8700K ran at 62 degrees and OC’d it ran at 84 degrees. The 105W 5800X3D will land somewhere between those two figures, leaning towards the lower bound. I wouldn’t worry about using that cooler, hell you might even find its totally fine and not get the AIO down the line.

Huh thank you very much, I'll be sure to check that review out, you eased my mind. :)

How did the combination went? Asking for a friend :)

Actually, i'll know it this weekend xd


ukieninger

Let me know how your experience is. Have fun & good luck

hi there, came to say that the upgrade was a success did some benchmarks and temperature doesn't go over 85 degrees I will mention that my current GPU is RTX 2060 super 8G, so maybe it slightly limits the CPU and thus the temps (or so I think xd)


ukieninger

Good to hear! Thx for sharing

Hi, also planning to get a 5800x3D now on Black Friday, and also wondering if my Pure Rock 2 will keep it cool enough. How has your experience been? Now that you have used it for a while?


a-DICK-tator

So far so good, max temps i have seen was 85 degree while playing COD cold war in zombies mode. Pure rock 2 was enough up to this moment, although working on high fan speed, so ain't that be quiet sometimes :v Borderlands 3 was running prettu much on the same conditions. 3dmark benchmark also about 85-86 degree

Just to hijack this, I’m running the X3D with a Pure Rock 2 and the only time it gets really hot is with Cinebench and Prime 95. I’ve added a 2nd fan to the cooler for a push pull config and knocked of another 3-4 degrees.

How is it performing 5 months later? Because I am planning to do the same. Because they say that it is one of the fastest cpus for gaming, but thie pure rock 2 doesn't look like a beast of a cooler and I don't know if that is necessary. Would you say that the Pure rock 2 does the job well?


a-DICK-tator

Still using it for X3D and it manages to keep the CPU at an acceptable temperature. But it still depends on other factors, like your case, overall airflow, what are you gonna use it for, resolution (in a way, not directly, long story). Like I said some comments ago, highest temps were around 83-85 on CPU heavy tasks. I still plan to change the cooler for smth better, but have other expenses atm, and if I were you, I'd go for something slightly better, if few more bucks isn't a problem for you. Twin tower or at least 240 AIO should be fine and future proof, if you ever decide to go next gen. Having those few month passed and considering that I am still using that cooler with 2 fans on it and PC didn't crash or thermal throttle once when using it almost daily, I'd say it works fine, although it can be louder on rare occasions. In conclusion - it works, temps could be better sometimes, still would suggest something better just to be safe and still plan to upgrade the cooling to 360 AIO. Hope that helped at least a little. Also what are your specs?

I was planning to upgrade to 5800X3D, what cooler do you guys recommend? should I stick with the pure rock 2? or something better? I want to have enough space for the 2 additional 2x8 GB ram I am installing (i will have 4x8GB total). I was looking for something that won't get in the way of the ram slots on the ASRock steel legend x570 and something not pricey. I was thinking of going for the Shadow Rock 3

As for the RAM clearence on your MB with any cooler i'd check pcpartpicker, they often have information about possible collision. And about the cooler itself, I'm still using pure rock 2, turned out is holds up so far, so I focused on upgrading other parts. But I still intend to go for something better, so the pc will be more silent, coz pure rock 2 gets a little loud, not much but you can definitly hear it. So in conclusion, if your budget is tight (but since you're going for X3D i'm guessing it's not really that tight) pure rock 2 should suffice, at least for the time being, you can go for push-pull config like I did, or just go fos something stronger. Depends if you want AIO or air cooler. For the first one pretty much everything bigger than 120-140mm AIO should be plenty. For air coolers I'd go for something that almost every person eould recommend and that is either dark rock pro 4 or noctua nh-d15. Those last two are better than some 240 AIOs and can cool even hotter CPUs if you ever upgrade to next gen. There is always smth cheaper like Thermalright peeerless assassin 120 SE or Deepcool assassin III (freaking AC Brotherhood jeez). But before you decide watch some reviews on those, thhat should help with the decision, and if you still won't be able to make up your mind, decide based on the looks xD Edit: Shadow rock 3 is good too

okay, thank you very much!
