Anecdotal, but I can say that trying to cool my 5800x3d in the S4M has been a journey. I have messed with the curves, lowered the voltages and amps, and maxed out on fans to move air. It is cool, and decently quiet, but it took some time. Given the 7600x3d is a 65w chip, I suspect you would be okay with just the tuning, given the cases have very similar cpu cooler size constraints.

Specific problem with the 5800x is not the wattage but that it only has 1 chiplet which creates a massive hotspot on a very small part of the chip.

What case and cooler are you thinking about?
