In this part of the video, the focus is on selecting a suitable cooler for the 7800X3D CPU. The goal is to prevent overheating and potential thermal issues to ensure the CPU functions optimally. A reference list created with a 3900X CPU is used for guidance, with coolers categorized as okay to use or not recommended. AMD states the 7800X3D has a TDP of 120 watts but only operates up to 89 degrees C, presenting a cooling challenge despite not generating excessive heat. The video emphasizes the importance of choosing an appropriate cooler based on these specifications to prevent thermal throttling and ensure the CPU’s longevity.

In this segment of the video, the testing method for CPU coolers on a 7800x3d CPU is discussed. The process involves placing a cooler, heating the CPU with a cinebench loop to observe clock speed and temperature. If temperatures hit 89 degrees C or the clock speed drops below 4.825 gigahertz, the cooler is deemed inadequate. Initially, top-down testing showed promising results with liquid coolers and air coolers performing well. However, switching to bottom-up testing revealed some coolers, such as Noctua NH-L12S and Arctic A13X, were not effective. The Be Quiet Pure Rock 2 Black successfully kept the CPU cool at 88.5 degrees C, earning approval for the 7800x3d. Room temperature of 28.5 degrees C impacted the results, with lower room temperatures potentially yielding different outcomes.
