I have the cooler on a Threadripper 1920 (180 Watt TDP). The cooler is just enough (especially the cooling plate is a bit small for the Threadripper, so overclocking is not an option). Consequently, the cooler should have no trouble with the Ryzen 9 5900x (105 Watt TDP). Even overclocking would probably not be a problem. The Ryzen 9 is also physically smaller, which means that the cooler will achieve better efficiency. Personal opinion on a water cooling AIO: I replaced this cooler with a Noctua air cooler, as it is quieter and reaches slightly lower temperatures on my CPU. A good air cooler is usually as good as a water cooler (as long as overclocking is not a goal) and much more robust and low-maintenance (I haven't had any problems with the water cooler so far, but they will come eventually). An air cooler lasts forever because there are no wearing parts such as pumps, seals and hoses.

According to the technical data on the manufacturer's website: https://www.bequiet.com/de/case/1854, a 240mm radiator can be optionally installed in the lid. Depending on this, you must consider whether and where you install additional fans. It is possible that the dimensions will be affected if you install additional fans at the front and/or rear. The cooling capacity depends on your intentions. If you want to overclock the CPU to the max, then you have to be careful, but yes, it should probably be enough. Use the cooler with a Ryzen 7 3800x without having overclocked anything.

I have the H115i, and I can confirm that it runs smoothly on P500A: There are several images of this combination on Google / Reddit. It's a very good product, no CPU temperature problems (even with overclocking) and very low noise level. It is also very easy to mount (but be careful to remove the old thermal paste). Another advantage is that it leaves space above the graphics card, which is crucial for optimal airflow with latest generation cards (2080TI/3080FU etc).

Greetings Manolis Joa should fit easily. Your case: Product dimensions Height 45 cm Length 21 cm Width 39.50 cm Weight 6.50 kg Top side Built-in fans Optional fans Possible number of fans 2x 140mm, 3x 120mm Possible number of radiators 1x max. 240mm The RGB fan: fan Product dimensions Width (with fan) 32.20 cm Length (with fan) 13.70 cm I have the same one in the Corsair Crystal RGB and it fits. Here is another link which shows the possibilities a little better. https://www.scan.co.uk/products/corsair-icue-220t-black-mid-tower-w-tempered-glass-window-3x-120mm-rgb-fans-usb-30-atx-microatx-mini Hope this helps Greetings

The lighting is controlled by the Corsair CUE software. The whole thing is connected via an internal USB connection and is therefore compatible with this motherboard. The cooler is designed for gaming applications and should therefore have enough cooling capacity for current processors.

there should be nothing to prevent the h115i from being mounted on the ceiling of the enclosure as shown on the left: https://www.corsair.com/de/de/Kategorien/Produkte/Fl%C3%BCssigk%C3%BChler/Doppel-Fl%C3%BCssigk%C3%BChler/Hydro-Series%E2%84%A2-RGB-Platinum/p/CW-9060038-WW http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Gehaeuse-Hardware-213436/Tests/Corsair-Obsidian-500D-1253862/

do you need a rgb header on the mainboard?

Nope, it's not necessary. However, the software (iCue) is pretty stupid, even if you only activate the lockscreen/screensaver in Windows, for example, the settings change to rainbow-cycle..... All other solutions I have used so far, including Aura, Mystic and RGB from MSI and EVGA GPU's remember the RGB settings, even when booting with a different OS like Linux. Who knows, maybe it works better if you use the Corsair Commander instead, I can't say due to lack of experience. G.Skill Tridenz Z RGB also does what it wants.... sometimes it doesn't work again....

There is no such thing as 100% certainty. The EK Predator 360, which is actually a manufacturer that stands for quality, had a defect twice. The first had a problem with the pump and had a leak at this point, the replacement delivery from EK six months later had a leak in the area of the radiator connections. I haven't had any problems with the AiO watercoolers from Corsair so far. This model here has, as far as I know, a different OEM manufacturer, so this AiO first has to prove itself. In the last few weeks, however, I have not noticed any problems.
