In this part of the video, the focus is on discussing the performance increase and power consumption of the Ryzen 7600X CPU compared to the previous generation. It is noted that the 30% performance increase also comes with an increase in TDP from 65 to 105 Watts. The video explains why the 7600X does not come with a cooler included, stating that providing a more powerful cooler would drastically increase the cost. The importance of adequate cooling for the 7600X is highlighted, as the TDP rating does not necessarily guarantee sufficient cooling. The video also touches on the updated temperature guidelines for Ryzen CPUs, emphasizing the importance of staying below the maximum safe temperature.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the safe operating temperature for AMD chips like the 7600x, emphasizing that running them at high temperatures such as 95 degrees Celsius continuously is acceptable due to the power management system. The speaker advises against using a cooler that cannot keep the CPU below 95 degrees under load. They highlight the importance of selecting a cooler that matches the CPU’s heat output, cautioning against assuming that a cooler effective for one CPU will be sufficient for another. The speaker stresses the need for comparing actual performance data to make informed decisions on selecting a suitable cooler for the 7600x or similar processors.

In this segment of the video, the creator hand-picks various coolers to test their performance. They start with the Arctic liquid freezer 420, which stays at 78 degrees C, making it onto the “yes” list. They mention testing various Arctic liquid freezers and gradually narrowing down coolers that can keep a 7 600x cool. The Arctic freezer 30 for Esports duo is also included for testing. Additionally, the NHD15 cooler is mentioned as the biggest and baddest, although not physically present for testing.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses cooler compatibility with the Ryzen 7 7600x processor and maintaining safe temperatures under load. They emphasize the importance of headroom to prevent overheating, suggesting coolers that can keep the CPU below 90 degrees C are necessary. The video goes on to list coolers that are deemed acceptable, including the Scythe Mugen 5, Dark Rock Pro 4, and others above a certain performance threshold. Coolers like the Dark Rock slim are considered not suitable. The overall list helps viewers identify which coolers are safe choices for their system.
