  • For a 9700X, even with overclocking you could get away with an air cooler. I use a BeQuiet! Pure Rock 3 on my 7800X3D and it works great.

    The biggest issue with those all-in-one liquid coolers is that they’ve got a lot of moving parts, which means they’ll always break more quickly than an simple fan+heatsink setup. If you want this thing to last a long time, air coolers are better. Also, good air coolers are about on-par with good AIO setups except at the extreme top-end.
