Yes, you can use the CPU cooler with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X. The cooler is compatible with the AM4 socket on which the Ryzen 7 5800X runs. It offers a cooling capacity of up to 150W, which is sufficient for the processor's TDP of 125W. However, it may be necessary to adjust the fan speed for very demanding workloads in order to achieve optimum performance and noise levels.
argb (addressable rgb) is simply how the rgb's work. It only requires the 4-PIN PWM connector on your particular motherboard. To see if your motherboard has the connector, you can look in the manual or find it yourself if you know what to look for.
You don't even need the bequiet software for the rgb's to work, but you do need it to switch to other lighting effects.
I hope I could help and I wish you good luck with your purchase decision
you have to connect the argb plug from the cooler to the 5 volt argb plug on the mainboard,then start the pc and control it via the mainboard software....
The be quiet Pure Rock 2 FX (155 mm) is a powerful CPU cooler, but for a high-performance processor such as the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X with 8 cores and a clock frequency of 4.7 GHz, it may not be sufficient under certain conditions.
Here are some important points to consider:
- TDP classification: the Pure Rock 2 FX is rated for a TDP of up to 150W, which is basically sufficient for the Ryzen 7 5800X, which has a TDP of 125W. However, the actual power consumption of the processor may be higher under load.
- Performance and volume: The cooler has four 6 mm heatpipes and a quiet but powerful fan. However, it can become audible at high speeds and under high load. It is important to adjust the PWM settings in the BIOS to achieve the best balance between performance and volume.
- Compatibility: The cooler is compatible with the AMD AM4 socket on which the Ryzen 7 5800X runs.
Summarised: The be quiet Pure Rock 2 FX can cool the Ryzen 7 5800X, but it may be necessary to adjust the fan speed and PWM settings to achieve optimal performance and noise levels. For very demanding workloads or checking maximum performance, a cooler with more thermal headroom may be required.
The fan would fit, otherwise if the case allows it and you want even more BLING BLING you could take an Aio from Arctic e.g. the Arctic Freezer III A-RGB, these are the newer ones, the 240 currently costs 63.90 Sfr. at digitec, the 360 costs 80.90 Sfr. or the 420 costs 79.90 Sfr. The advantage of this Aio is that the pump is very quiet, also the fans, fan speed, fan curve can be set in the bios of the mainboard, e.g. it is Aurasync etc. compatible, I still have a 360 from the previous series in my build, at 40% load it cools a Ryzen 9 5900X at 47 degrees.
