The video provides an in-depth analysis of the most suitable cooling solutions for AMD's Ryzen 7000 series CPUs, focusing on the 7600x and 7900x models. Through a series of tests involving video editing, 3D modeling, and gaming, the presenter compares the performance of air coolers and All-In-One (AIO) liquid coolers. Key findings suggest that the 7900x CPU struggles with air cooling, resulting in higher temperatures around 95°C and throttled performance, whereas the 7600x manages better with lower temperatures and minimal performance differences between cooling types.
Gaming tests using "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" demonstrate significant temperature drops with AIO coolers, particularly for the 17900x, making them a worthy investment for high-end CPUs. The 7600x performs well with basic cooling, maintaining temperatures under 60°C even in demanding conditions. Recommendations include using at least a 240mm AIO cooler for the 7900x, with a 360mm being ideal, to ensure efficient cooling and performance longevity.
The video concludes by emphasizing the importance of appropriate cooling solutions tailored to the specific needs of the CPU and tasks, noting that future content will explore further tuning and comparisons with Intel chips.

In this segment, the video focuses on determining the suitable type of cooler for AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series CPUs, specifically the 7600x and 7900x. The presenter conducts tests on both CPUs using air coolers and AIO (All-In-One) liquid coolers during CPU-intensive tasks like video editing, 3D modeling, and gaming. Key findings include:
– The 7900x CPU struggles with an air cooler, running at an average of 100-190 watts with the Corsair h100i Elite and 160 watts with the Cooler Master air cooler. Temperatures hover around 95°C for air and 92.6°C for water cooling.
– The 7900x’s performance is throttled, achieving lower performance compared to other reviewers.
– The 7600x CPU performs better, with a power limit of 142 watts but averages around 115 watts. The temperature and power consumption differences between cooling types are minimal.
– The performance impact is more pronounced in the 7900x, which is about 4% slower with air cooling, whereas the 7600x shows a slight decrease of around 3.5%.
The presenter concludes that both CPUs experience some throttling but the 7900x is more affected, and tuning might help improve performance.

In this part of the video, the focus is on comparing CPU cooling solutions during gaming, specifically using Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s built-in benchmark for consistent testing. The tests revealed that while the power consumption of the CPUs remained similar, there were significant differences in temperatures. The 17900x CPU, using an AIO cooler, saw a temperature drop of almost 15 degrees Celsius, making it a worthy investment. The 7600x CPU showed slightly lower power consumption and impressive temperatures under 60 degrees Celsius, even next to a heat-producing RTX 1490 GPU. Performance differences between the cooling configurations were minimal, with only slight FPS gains observed with better cooling. The video suggests that for gaming, a basic single-fan cooler is sufficient for the 7600x, although a better cooler can improve temperatures and efficiency. For the higher-end 7900x CPU, a 240mm AIO cooler is recommended, with a 360mm being ideal.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the cooling options for a high-end CPU, particularly when gaming or performing CPU-specific tasks. They recommend a 240mm cooler for general gaming but suggest that investing in a 360mm cooler might be beneficial for better cooling performance, longevity, and CPU-specific tasks. The speaker also notes that with newer Ryzen chips, the cooler’s effectiveness is influenced by the thicker IHS, meaning cooling might depend more on the ability to draw heat from the IHS itself.
