Is a Eisbaer LT 360 ok for a Ryzen 7 9800 X3D?

So i bought this AIO setup in 2019 for my Intel i9900. Im about to upgrade to an AMD 9800 and would like to know if it will still be ok? I think it already came with an AM5 mounting bracket. Has there been a refresh of the design since i last purchsed it? I was looking at a small upgrade like a Aurora 360 or maybe a bigger overhaul, i dont know yet.

If i wanted to upgrade the cooling loop to say a Core/Apex 1 Waterblock, What else would i need? Im guessing a reservoir + pump + pipes:
  • New Waterblock Core 1 / Apex 1
  • Alphacool Eisstation VPP incl. Alphacool VPP Apex PWM pump
  • 1x Pipe to connect Reservoir to Waterblock
The old radiator has the other 2 pipe connections and 1 goes to the Waterblock and the other to the Reservoir? What else have i missed? :)

My case is a Coolermaster SL600m and there are several mount points inside for a reservoir if i wanted one. Im NOT looking to cool my GPU or anything else with watercooling, just the CPU.

Case: https://www.coolermaster.com/en-global/products/mastercase-sl600m
Manual: https://coolermaster.egnyte.com/dl/oi1shvr8Qs

I was thinking about using the mounting points 5Ba or 5Bb (Manual page 21 under pump installation) for the reservoir.

As you already have the Eisbaer, try it!
I had an Eisbaer block, but custom loop for years on top of 5800X, 5800X3D, 5900X. I always found that the Eisbaer is a good solid block - sure, not the best in competition.
Try the Eisbaer now and if you feel that the CPU is getting to hot, you can still change/upgrade. I always didn't like for myself to upgrade too early without knowing what the old system was capable of.

Basically, you can set it up however you like. A DIY loop with the Core 1 will naturally provide better cooling than the Eisbaer AIO. For a loop that's dedicated only to the CPU, you'll need a CPU cooler, a reservoir with a pump, and a radiator. Of course, you’ll also need tubing and two fittings per component — so two for the CPU block, two for the radiator, and two for the reservoir. You'll also need coolant, and I’d definitely recommend getting an ATX jumper plug so you can start the power supply without turning on the rest of the PC. That makes filling the loop easier, and in case something leaks, nothing else gets damaged.
