Besides the Corsair Hydro X series.

You can also go custom if you have a loop already.

Going to get a gen4, I have airflow so it wont be an issue.

But the AC looks like the short style ones. plus them ports are probably so close.

What I really would like are either universal VRM blocks, I know Heatkiller makes quite a few. But I doubt the 9800 will heat them up like an FX8350 does. So no big deal there. Plus I have a fan on the backside of the CPU socket.

I will just need to bend 1 or 2 hardline tubes to make this work.
 
Also took my 3090 for a spin in FF dawntrail and results turned out surprisingly well considering i'm severely gpu limited in parts of the benchmark..

CPU was pretty much carrying the run at 5850mhz

How much over 66k with 5090?? 😋

Quake 3 TA
Also competed in Quake 2 and Crysis 2 MP at a decent level back in a day.

Some (many) people called me and my brother cheaters (highest compliment really if you don't cheat).

Test Q3TA max FPS with R7 9800X3D 😁

But the Prime isn't TUF 😛

Seriously though, does the Prime also withstand the test of time as well as TUF due to MIL-STD certified components?

Now I have to decide between these for memory!

I would lean towards the Corsair kit. That last subtiming of 76 vs. 96 is enough to veer me towards that kit. But at the same time, maybe it won't matter in gaming with an X3D chip. Would help in non-gaming memory intensive scenarios or games where the cache becomes insufficient.

i'm leaning towards the corsair kit also because I use ICue and majority of my stuff is corsair. So I would be able to sync all my RGB where has now I have to use the Gskill app with my current memory. I avoided corsair memory on AM4 because GSkill just had better modules Samsung B-die. However with DDR5 that doesn't look to be an issue anymore.

Depends on the Corsair tax. At least GSkill is not particularly a rebrand. You should be able to find the equivalent GSkill cheaper.
