Need help choosing a 240mm AIO for my Ryzen 1700

Hey there folks so im currently saving my money for a new Gpu will either be a 2070 or 5700 XT which il purchase in late July/Early August i will have around 650 pounds saved so was wondering if i should get an AIO with the remainder of the money?

My R7 1700 is stock clocked currently and hits high 50's while gaming i know that your CPU's IPC is more important at lower resolution's and my Monitor is Ultrawide 1080p and i don't want my CPU bottle-necking my new gpu?

Any of you had any experience with the Deepcool Gamemaxx L240 it's RGB and looks pretty good and its well priced at 60 pounds i don't want to spend over like 75 really as don't think its worth it for a 240.

What have you's manage to get on a 240mm aio OC,Voltage and Temps?

High 50’s is nothing. CPUs are ok up to 80 or 90.

Except PBO levels off at 68°C so basically, your maximum boost clock speed is tied to how low you can keep temperatures.

wouldn't bother if stock. leave the stock cooler on it unless its too loud.

my 1700 with my cryorig A40 ultimate (240x37.5 rad) is low 40's running 1.325v while gaming (3.9ghz) and is pretty quiet.

@Ross Thomson Thank-you i might look into getting that cooler as im also looking for a 3.9ghz oc
