For my Ryzen 9 7950X3D, should I get a 360 AIO liquid cooler or a Noctua air cooler?

I use a large tower cooler with a graphite pad because I’m kind of lazy, and fans are easy to replace should they go bad.

You are always going to have to talk me down from Noctua.

I can’t unassociate linus tech tips from noctua in my head and so can’t bring myself to buy them given that channel’s incredible bias and how much they shilled for them.

Can’t speak for the 7950 but my 7900 idles near 60c and peaks at 85c on a 240mm aio. It’s hotter than I’d like, but my understanding is that the X3D models run quite hot regardless of how much cooling you give them.
