Not at all, it has zero thermal headroom anyway, won't garner any meaningful performance. That cooler is not appropriate for that CPU as it is

Why do you want to? Where is performance lacking? It's likely you'll be thermal throttling under load with a 240mm radiator, 360mm is recommended on that chip

So I have ordered the system but still in processing stage so thought I would ask you guys on here on any recommendations before it actually gets built (y)

But didn't you just buy a system in 2020?

New Gaming Rig - Flight Simulation - DCS, P3D, MFS

Hello Guys! Can someone who knows what they are doing (unlike me) just have a look over this build. Its pretty much maxed out but just want to know if it is future proof i.e in years to come I can just upgrade components instead of the full system! I have made that mistake before where I...

Ah, ok, that's ok then, some people genuinely get a tiny problem and think they need to replace the whole computer, just checking you weren't one of those :)

Can you post the configuration link at the bottom of the spec?

Am I right in thinking you play MSFS?

I would 100% wait just a week or two, the AMD X3D chips are about to release and they're going to absolutely smash anything with regards to SIMs and general gaming. They're set to be the same price as the current chips as well.

Yeah, the current 5800X3D still wins out for SIMs and gaming, it's currently the king over the intel chips for a fraction of the cost.

And it's not even by a small margin, it's leaps and bounds

But the 7000X3Ds are likely to be utter killers, unless AMD do something really tragic, I think we're set for something really special.
