Cooling Will the Noctua Nh-l9a be able to handle the Ryzen 5 1600x?

My current build is in the Silverstone Raven RVZ02. I plan on gaming and doing schoolwork and maybe light video editing in my spare time. I'm just worried that the Ryzen 5 1600x might not stay cool with just passive case cooling vents and the Noctua cooling solution, especially if it's boost clocking to 4 Ghz.

I've got an R5 1600 clocked to 3.5GHz and very slight undervolt, with NH-L9a but without its low noise adapter in an S4M-C case. Memory clocked at 3000Mhz.

So I think this should be close to your stock frequency for 1600x.

My temps are 34c at idle, and 75c at load with prime95. Ambient is 25c.

So I think you should be fine unless you plan to oc. Even then maybe some undervolting will help.

Yeah I don't really plan on overclocking, thanks for the info. Just wanted to check with others who might have a similar setup to mine.

From my testing, it'll work fine
