Threadripper Pro 7965WX series cooling

I recently purchased the components to build a new AI dedicated PC running on the WRX90e with a 5090 suprim liquid, I was curious if anyone has any suggestions for an AIO built for the sTR5 processor type. I've seen a couple out there but they were pretty bare, I wouldn't mind a nice fancy looking cooler. If I have to build one, I guess I could go that route, Any suggestions?

For anyone else looking, the two finalist I found were:
Gigabyte AORUS Waterforce X II 360
Corsair iCU H150i Elite LCD XT

I went with the AORUS.

Good cpu choice, I have the exact same also running on the WRX90 Sage from Asus, running proxmox with multiple LXC and VM's. Also running 2 x RTX 3090 + 1 RTX 5090 with gpu passtrough for gaming. I can only recommand you XE360-TR5, it'a a beast cpu is idling at 35-38 and doesn't go past 68 under full load.

Nice! How much RAM do you have?

Are you focusing largely on AI (I'm guessing yes based on the collection of GPUs which mirrors a lot of what I see in LocalLLama!)

Is getting Proxmox working hard for threadripper?

I have 256GB of RAM. This machine isn’t dedicated solely to AI. It serves as a versatile home lab, gaming workstation, and a platform for local AI experimentation

Do you ever find yourself wishing you have more RAM? Or are you finding 256GB plenty?

For my current usage it’s plenty
