Now where is the brake for that CPU?

Even if the combination of a Ryzen 5800X and a Wraith Prism is a bit hot, it should be livable for a while? Well, kind of yes. If you don't mind the sound of a small jet engine under your desk as soon as the system has to do just about anything and the clock shoots up to 4.5 GHz. Fortunately hard-limiting the clock to a less ambitious level and turning off a few other automatic performance boosters does keep the noise down until I get around to upgrading the cooler while preserving acceptable performance. A 5600 might have been the more sensible choice...
