Noise wise, I can say that the stock fan on my 2700 does spin up quite a bit when rendering, although I can't say it bothers me I know that is a matter of personal preference, an AIO would undoubtedly be quieter (although you do get the added sound of the pump on an AIO).ĭepends on the AIO. That is kind of a moot point though with a 3700X as it doesn't use much power anyway. With an AIO the only active cooling the VRM's get is from the airflow of the case, whereas with a cpu air cooler (especially one that blows down like the stock cooler) provide much better VRM temps. The other thing to keep in mind is there is a downside to using an AIO - and that is VRM cooling (or more specifically lack thereof). The main advantage of the AIO is it would give you lots of cooling headroom for something more power hungry like a 3900X if you wanted to upgrade down the road.


Karadjgne is correct though an AIO would work - I just don't think it's required if working at stock with a 3700X as it's actually a really efficient cpu (thanks to being 7nm). I just looked that case up online and it appears to have 4 included fans(?), in which case should have plenty of airflow.
