I upgraded to a 9800X3D and while my Hi150 elite Corsair 360mm AIO is technically up to the task of cooling it, its fans have to ramp up way too high now to do it under full load, to the point of it bothering my ears. Repasting did nothing to help either. I kinda regret getting this thing now, because while it was perfect for cooling my 9600k quietly under load, the fans Corsair put on it don't have enough static pressure to compete with the arctic 3 when it comes to the significantly hotter 9800X. But I wonder if it's worth it to buy a whole other AIO or if I should just get different fans with better pressure to put on my Corsair radiator. What would you do?
