Wrong, that case requires water cooling to get the proper use out of it.
You could do air cooling, but its not great in that case, as it was specifically designed with water in mind. It also has a really slim main chamber since the PSU mounts on the back side, and air coolers of any decent height will not fit. Ultimately, not having any kind of front intake requires use of extra fans tog et proper airflow. You can prob get away with 4-5 total fans with water cooling, need 8-9 on air cooling to get similar thermal results, albeit with considerably more noise.
5900x performance is directly tied to cooling, might as well do it right. If you wanted to switch to air, it would be best to switch cases as well.
