No, and i wouldnt say 240mm is a "behemoth".
240mm is a "mid sized" cooler (it's what I'm using). My MSI motherboard has an auto-overclock feature, and it's tied into the cooling system with light color indicating temperature. It's cool when playing Cyberpunk 2077 on high detail and the coolant system is green, then it starts to turn yellow and the fans/pumps ramp up.

No, it's not needed as most people aren't overclocking their CPUs like that, but it's very cool to have.
If I was on AM5 or high-end 13 series I'd try to get a good cooler for a reasonable price and last I checked, this is still one of the best 240 AIOs you can buy. If you don't plan to overclock, at all, then look at the Thermalright Assassin and Phantom Spirit. Probably best bang for the buck right now.

2011-3* lol that is a funny one for it to list, the only V3 2011 system I have (I have a bunch of V1 and V2) err, well it's actually a V4 using a V3 cpu...is a Dell rackmount workstation, an R7910. But what I find funny about it fitting such a socket is a system such as I have already has 6x16,000RPM fans stock to cool the two cpus. In a 2u server chassis that sounds like a banshee screaming and pushes an amazing volume of air. (It is designed to fully cool a 2,200 watt+ load...)

So i think my best option is the stock cooling hahahahaha! On a side note... it sure is nice having a pair of 16core Xeons with the V3 turbo unlock hack (all core max turbo nonstop! lol) 32 cores around 3.6GHz and 512bit memory access with 80MB L3 cache makes everything move like greased lightning.

Quote from LightProtector :
Don't get the same performance though. Also, I have been running my NZXT Kraken x52 for 7 years now and haven't had an issue. NZXT is also willing to send me an AM5 bracket for free as well.

Performance is a relative term - in terms of number crunching ability you can get far more from a 10 watt cpu now than you could a 100 watt cpu 20 years ago. Heat output is therefore subjective and what needs a massive cooler today needs a passive cooler tomorrow.

I have two Pentium II systems and they have massive stock heatsinks (but small fans), then I have a i7 4790k and 3770k next to them with tiny intel stock coolers 2/3rds the size or less...

Not at all. I returned this because it's so dang ugly. Not worth the extra few degrees of cooling for the ugly as sin aesthetics.
While I think you are joking, I predicted people would be this stupid 30 years ago.

Even if you're using a top of the line Noctua, these chips have to be power limited and undervolted if you're going to do productivity apps that peg the CPUs at 100%. (gaming won't peg either CPU at 100% so air is fine for that) And that's without overclocking. OTOH, this 240 AIO is one of the better ones and is just a little better than a NH-D15. You have to step up to the 360/420 AIO's to get a big boost over top air.

Word of caution. I saw this a week ago and thought it's a good price, ordered one. It came yesterday. Box was beaten and opened. Cooler had some packaging but looked like it was used and maybe returned?!?! The copper plate that makes contact with the cpu looked scratched as well. Like some smart ass was trying to clean paste with a flat screwdriver?!?!
Amazon was good to me and issued rma, now waiting for replacement. Fingers crossed, the new one will be new(it's coming end of this week)
It's a great aio, but I wouldn't recommend a used one.

LoL seriously...it's an AIO that's all black. The design cools the VRMs and gets around Asetek's patent while adding some functionality.

Maybe they want a fancy AIO with an LCD screen that costs double and doesn't cool as well.

Quote from LukeH9333 :
My advice? Buy a good quality heatsink instead. Roughly the same price, much easier to service, fewer points of failure (no pump can die and leave you stranded, no water will evaporate). I've had both and I just buy Noctua heatsinks now.
Yeah, I tried a Noctua NH-D15 for my i9 (13th gen) and had to disable cores to keep it from overheating. Multiple resets and different thermal pastes later, I swapped it for an arctic freezer ii and I can run it at stock temps with no issues.

240mm in general isn't behemoth. This cooler specifically is definitely thicker than a lot of the other options, though, so some might consider it beefy

It needs blinking lights with glitter sparkles so that mom can see it when she brings the door dash food that arrives to the basement.

Is it this 240mm size? I got the 420mm a couple weeks ago and am really disappointed with how poorly it "fits" in a Meshify 2 case (depite advertising it fits 420mm rads). Was looking to return it and downsize. If the 240 works well I might do this.

Interesting. I thought gaming would be more demanding.

Quote from BelaS :
Necessary? No. But most cpus don't come with a cooler anymore, and a decent cooler is going to be in this price range anyway. Might as well go AIO and have a cleaner looking case with potentially even better thermal management.

Thanks. I wasn't aware that most cpus don't include a factory cooler. I have not done any rebuilding for over 10 years now.

I have the 420mm. It feels like overkill, but I got it at a great price and it fits in my case, just barely. (Fractal Design Torrent) Case was designed for air cooling, but it just didn't cut it.
I think the 360mm would be fine even for the i9. I'm running a 240mm on my son's i7 and it's plenty.
