Load Temps
Using the Thermaltake 360 Ultra AIO cooler mounted with 3 x Corsair RS120 Max cooling fans, the processor produced a full load temperature of 94 degrees Celsius for the CPU Core. These temperatures fall within our expectations for a Ryzen 9 9950X, so I have no concerns here.
For those who are new to DIY PC building, we highly recommend you use a 360 AIO cooler for all current generation of CPUs from AMD and Intel
