Ok guys, gimme some hard facts now. I need cooling for my 5900X.

No custom water loops.

Air cooling would only be Noctua D15 and nothing else.

AIBs are on the table and prefered. 3x120mm if possible.

Money is irrelevant.

So what should I buy?

be quiet! Pure Loop

Is pretty quiet in it's 2x140mm version (there's also a 2x120mm and 3x120mm versions, but haven't tested those) and cools very efficiently with lots of headroom for overclocking (I know somebody who cooled an overclocked FX 5950 centurion with it). Also, while money is irrelevant to you, it's just 100 Euro.

The 3x120mm version supports 470W TDP, so that should be more than enough for the 5900X
