The 7800X3D isn’t hard to handle, it runs very cool especially compared to the X chips. It’s more than enough to cool it. Answer from ITZJOSH22 on reddit.com

Dark Rock 4 for 7800x3d - Cooling - Linus Tech Tips
December 5, 2023 - Yeah, the Dark Rock 4 is plenty for a 7800X3D. That CPU is probably the easiest high end CPU to cool in the past few years because of the voltage and power limits put in place by AMD.

My current kraken x62 won't fit in my case once I have upgraded to a bigger gpu, which is why I'm trying to switch the cooler with a be quiet dark rock 4, that was purchased way before am5 was even a thing. Is the cooler really compatible and can the dark rock 4 handle the ryzen 7800x3D TDP?

September 22, 2025 -

Hey there, PoE2 „inspired“ me to upgrade from AM4 to AM5 and therefore I would like to go for a Ryzen 7 9800x3d. Currently I’m using a Dark Rock Pro 4 and would like to know if someone has this setup in current use? Imo it should be suitable, but I would like to know this for sure beforehand and can’t find a lot of information about this comb online. Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!

r/buildapc on Reddit: 7800X3D thermally throttled HARD with a Dark Rock Pro 4
November 30, 2023 -

Hi everyone,

I'm struggling with a new rig I'm trying to cool.

  • cpu: 7800X3D

  • ram: G.Skill zen 5 neo 64GB DDR5 6000 CL30

  • MB: ASUS Tuf Gaming X670E-Plus

  • gpu: 7900XT Sapphire nitro+

  • psu: Corsair RM850e - Gold (ATX 3.0)

  • casing: Silverstone seta q1

HWINFO

HWINFO Graph after 10mins fps unlocked on PUBG

I've re-seated the ventirad 3 times, redoing thermal paste everytime of course (twice with grizzly, once with Be Quiet! paste), and yet the temperatures are still bad/catastrophic.

Two questions:

  • did I do something wrong/forget something?

  • what other cooling should I get for a quite closed casing (Seta Q1), knowing I'm living in a country it's going to be summer at (35°C+). Budget would be 200€ max.


  • I have removed the plastic lid

  • I have cleaned both CPU and cooler with acetone

  • I have put the fans like this

  • I don't think the ventirad is pushed by ram, but it's real close (44mm height vs 46.4mm @DRP4)

  • all ventirad and seat screws are really tight (double checked)

I'm at loss, any help would be more than welcome.

BIOS is set to "EXPO II" and stable, I'm going to lower the PBO but that's not the issue here, I'm looking for a stable way to cool it down and figure what I did wrong, not how to hide it ;)

Thanks everyone <3

WhatsApp is the best CPU cooler for the Ryzen 7 7800x3d - PCPartPicker
I was Wonderin waht the best cooler is for a Ryzen 7 7800x3d it should be black and Not so expensive ... Best budget cooler is the Phantom Spirit for $35. Best balanced air cooler is probably the Phantom Spirit EVO for $50 · Best performing / oversized air cooler would probably be either the Noctua NH-D15S for $110 or the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 for $100.

r/buildapc on Reddit: Dark Rock Pro 4 with AM5/9800X3D Performance 2024
December 10, 2024 -

Secured a 9800X3D chip today, the Thermalright Peerless and Phantom Spirit models are mostly sold out or at scalper prices right now. (USA)

I have a Dark Rock 4 Pro on my 5800X3D right now, I understand it is AM5 compatible.

Anyone know the thermal difference between the Phantom Spirit SE/Peerless vs Dark Rock 4 Pro? Will it be that much worse than a new Thermalright cooler?

I'm guessing it'll be fine?

I see some complaints on 7800X3Ds about bad temps with DR4Pro, my 5800X3D runs hot without PBO -30 all core, but I also have a poor cooling case. with PBO -30 I am 69C-85C depending on the game.

December 20, 2025 -

I'm planning to build my first pc in January or February depending on the price of ram (everyone saying it will not go down until 2027)

I am planning to pair the 7800x3d with a 5080 and I know fuck all about coolers, lot of people are agreeing that watercooling is essentially aesthetic so I'm planning to go with a trustworthy dark rock 5, but is it enough ? or should I get 380 ?

also need a good case for all of that, I'm planning to get the thermaltake 290 tg but I doubt everything will fit correctly

Any help is greatly appreciated!
