No I would select one of the CPU coolers I recommended personally.

At the end of the day all I can do is advise and I recommend the Corsair H100i or the Corsair H115i. They are both tried, tested and proven high quality CPU coolers

It's up to you though

 

[sck451]

Don't go for the FrostFlow ones. They're OK, but not amazing. The Corsair ones are great: the H100i is good; the H115i is great. Partly this is about cooling efficacy, but partly about noise levels and crucially reliability.

Is the PCS FrostFlow 200 Series High Performance CPU Cooler enough to cool a ryzen 9 5900x?

Hiya

I've merged your threads, no need to open up further threads on the same build, thanks

As others have already recommended, you really need a Corsair H100i or H115i for the 5800x or 5900x. I have the H115i on my 5900x build

What about for a ryzen 7 would PCS FrostFlow 200 Series High Performance CPU Cooler be enough?

The Ryzen 7 5800x runs hotter than the 5900x, so the recommendation remains the same.

Oh really whys does it run hotter

 

[Steveyg]

The 5800x can draw more power per core than the 5900x meaning it get's hotter

The 5900x is also larger with more cores so it can spread the heat out better

whats the recommended temp for a cpu?

Depends on the CPU, which are we talking about here

 

[pcfnatic]

5900x

 

[Steveyg]

The 5900x begins the thermal throttle at 90C I believe. Healthy temperatures would be between 60-70C. It would likely idle around 40C with a good CPU cooler. 80+ is generally fine but I would start to raise an eyebrow at it

The idea is to have a good enough cooler that you don't have to worry about this hence my recommendations

 

[jamiephillips909]

when talking about the 5800x upwards i would recommend the corsair h100i upwards.
your shelling out alot of money for high performance cpu's you gotta have tried and tested adequate cooling which the corsair series have in spades as @Steveyg stated its up to you but you have asked for advice and im counting numerous people advising you to go for a adequate corsair cooler it also comes with software that controls fan speed and pump speed and rgb lighting

Would enabling xmp affect warrenty?

No it wont, your RAM will come whatever speed you select
