Edit: I should say, it won't make any difference from a good air cooler or any other watercooling AIO…
If you want the AIO for aesthetics or for your case design that's one thing, but I've been piecing together a 7800 build and I'm planning on using a tower air cooler
Would front mount the Arctic to a Fractal Torrent
My dad put a stock cooler on his 7800X3D and while it wasn't over heating, his benchmark scores were nearly the same as my 5800x based system. I recommended the EK 360 Elite AIO. He bought it and his score jumped like 50% higher.
Don't sleep on AM5 cooling!
For shower cores you can use a more drastic offset like -15 and the faster cores on the ccdx you don't have to mess with too much
It just is practically the same as using a combustion engine on leaner fuel but can allow it to run more efficiently; it can cause crashes or instability on extreme undervolts cause it's not providing enough voltage to keep it active but the reduction of heat and higher boost sustained gives you performance increases
Aios will be ok on x3d chips but they are heat Sensitive which is why they are locked on not being able to OC the clocks but it doesn't mean it can boost still by there motherboard from extended frequency range (XFR) where it's giving 200mhz if conditions are right
All the cooling is just transferring heat away from the things that are generating it so you can have consistent performance that's the general reason; it's not about getting the lowest temp to ambient
JS cause you are still on return windows

Not sure if your dad has the 7800x3d because it doesn't come with a stock cooler. The max temperature the 7800x3d hits as well is ~90 C, not 95 so if your dad was hitting 90 C, then he'd be throttling. I believe that's a behavior of all 3d v cache cpus since they are harmed by high temperatures much more than regular non x3d.
My 7800x3d, granted I don't go out of my way stress test it really, maxes at 80 C with a 240 mm arctic freezer ii, fans capped at 50% speed. I believe that's the temperatures that happened when I did stress test it but regardless, if I'm gpu bottlenecked, and most people probably are with this cpu, then the cpu won't be running near the targeted temperature. And if someone wants to do heavy cpu workload often enough to spend more on a 420 mm or whatever cooler, then they probably didn't buy a x3d cpu.
I do agree with your statements for non x3d cpus but I THINK (not know) it's bad advice for x3d.
I purchased the 240mm III cooler for my socket AM4 build. Engineering garbage. The cooler plate does not fully cover the CPU, leaving around 3 - 4mm exposed. It also only comes with one size of standoffs that are not high enough making it impossible to tighten. And if you do - fine metal shavings start coming out of the cheap hardware. This thing is outrageously bad.
Went out and bought an NZXT Kraken. It was a breeze to mount. Total quality. And it even came with two different sized standoffs for AM5 / AM4, imagine that!
Can't blame you too much, at face value it looks really bad. Knew Arctic would get returns based on them making it default with no way alternative. I mean logically covering the entire IHS is ideal, everyone knows that. But it has to do with the microfins behind the copper plate being better aligned with the area on amd cpu's most heat generating area.
Not sure what you mean about the standoffs not being high enough nor do I remember what the install is but did you take off the vrm fan?
But both of your complaints I think could have been fixed by reading the manual if in box or on their website.

Please nobody listen to this uneducated post. Offset mounting on AM5 CPUs has been widely proven to be a superior mounting position for cooling those chips (not as big performance improvement on AM4 chips). Don't listen to this person who doesn't know what they are talking about. Please do your own due diligence and research the cooler for yourself. Watch and/or read reviews from multiple different legitimate sources.
