In this segment, the video reviews and compares two CPU coolers for the Ryzen 7 5800X. The first cooler, the Spur 120, is praised for its massive size, excellent cooling performance, and low noise levels, although its size may cause compatibility issues with some cases and memory. It matches the performance of the renowned Noctua NH-D15 at half the price, making it a top choice despite limited competition at this price point, especially compared to the DeepCool AK620 and Cooler Master’s Hyper 212 Evo. The Spur 120 receives high ratings for design, cooling, noise, installation, value, and overall performance.
Next, the Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 360 RGB is touted as the best premium cooler for the Ryzen 7 5800X. Although overkill for this CPU, its high-end performance at a mid-range price makes it a noteworthy option. It features a 360mm radiator and three 120mm fans with speeds from 200 to 1,700 RPM, which manage to remain quiet. Notably, this cooler does not use an ASC pump, setting it apart from many competitors. It builds on the already impressive performance of its predecessor, the Liquid Freezer 2.
