Load Temps

Using the the Cooler Master MasterLiquid PL240 Flux AIO, the processor produced a full load temperature of  73 degrees Celsius, which is what I was expected from a 240mm AIO cooler.

Since the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has a fairly high TDP of 120W, we do recommend a 240mm AIO cooler or better still, if budget allows, get yourself a 360mm AIO cooler.
