Got 5800x today but it doesn't come with a CPU fan
what do people recommend to use with this CPU, I won't be over clocking or doing any rather than run stock standard setting
CPU Cooler for Ryzen 5800x?

don't think you would need something that big and powerful for a non OC 5800x
kids play games on it so better spend extra 40 bucks or so and don't worry too much about cooling
Seems excessive if OP isn't planning to OC
Yeah I went for the beast Noctua D15 thanks but I can't wait so got at local store for $159
Dark Rock 4
Did you get the normal D15 or the all black D15, man they look so good; and no brown fans.
Nothing wrong with the normal D15, it is just the colour of the fansI got a poo Colour, didn't really care about the look and I need it in a hurry paid $159 at local MSY
You could always change the fans latter if you want to
If you have a case that has no clear panel, it doesn't matter about the colour.
What are the temps running at? At idle and at peak CPU speedI only use one fan in the middle, cant fit the second fan, can't close my case lid if I put second fans in
so keeping it as a spareIdle around 41 degree, gaming playing control for about 10 min varies from 60-75
general usage YouTube, music, web browsing between 45-60@MrMarket: I too use 1 fan, it is not as loud when it ramps up as using 2 and it is only 8c difference in tests
I have to check the temps on mine, I have been checking the wattage on my system instead
In everyday mode it uses just under 400W with the DAS (Digital Access Storage) on, 50W less with it off.
When I reboot into my other SSD for games, I use nearly 500W, DAS is off, of course & my GPU is
a 1080ti KiNGPiN. I have to find a proper software to check temps, Speccy only checks 1 core.
It is good to see the D15 doing its job on your comp
When I got my 3800X it came with the Wraith cooler & it was OK when I OCed it to 4.35,
but I bought a black D15 and I will play with the OC a bit more
Noctua D15 currently on NewEgg for $109 which is a steal
