Best Coolers for Ryzen 5 7600X, 7 7700X, 9 7900X and 7950X

The AM5 socket was shown with the Ryzen 7000 processors, and the distance between the mounting holes from AM4 was retained. But the standard backplate has now become part of the motherboard. Therefore, any AM4 cooler that can be installed on the standard backplate is automatically compatible with AM5.

In this article, we have collected the best coolers for Ryzen 5 7600X, 7 7700X, 9 7900X and 7950X. They can be divided into: single- or dual-section, copper base or direct contact. The size of the radiator and the number of tubes that form the dissipated power (TDP) affect.
