need advise, im currently using a corsair h60 (2017 model) aio cpu cooler on a ryzen 5 1600 cpu overclocked to 3.95 ghz 1.375 volts my idle temps are around 35c, load temps are around 50c to 59c, give or take a degree or two. I also have a new corsair h100i pro rgb aio cooler which one should I be using? is the h100i pro rgb overkill for this cpu? is the h60 doing ok? or should I get my 125 dollars back for the h100i pro? just need advise, thanks everyone.
 
Well there's no such thing as overkill when it comes to cooling. Only better temperatures. So if you really want to drive those temps down, I suggest you use it.

However, don't expect in insane difference. You will probably be around 30 degrees idle with and average of low 50s during load. Up to you whether 125$ is worth having this temp reduction. In my opinion, I would return it and spend it on something else that could be beneficial for your rig.
