I think I'll just do a clean installation of Windows 11 and delete all the bloatware. I haven't done a clean installation since... August 2025

Arc Raiders - 240fps limit

Peak - 120fps limit

Which cooler would you recommend for my Ryzen 7 9800X3D? I currently use an AIO, but I would like to switch to an air cooler that I can set up and forget about. I've read many reviews recommending Noctua, and I have a budget of around 100 to 250 USD.

Case: Corsair 6500X
Motherboard: X870e Aorus Pro Ice
RAM: Gskill Trident Z Neo (gold) DDR5
GPU: RTX 5080
