Hi all, I picked up 3600x build a few weeks ago Motherboard is a MSI B450 tomahawk max and im using 8 packs cas 16 3600mhz ram.

I've used the stock cooler until now, which to be fair for a in the box, cpu cooler doesnt do a bad job. But the noise :D the constant ramping up and down when pushing the cpu or playing a game is driving me insane I've had a quick play with fan profile so its fine for normal use. But anything else its like a harrier jump jet on take off.

The build I've upgraded from used a Be Quite Dark Rock 2 which I belive to be unsupported by Be quite on the AM4 platfrom :mad:

I planned on picking up a mounting kit from them for my dark rock pro. But as far as I can see they don't sell them for the 2nd gen model. Only the 3rd and 4th gen Dark Rock Pro coolers are now supported on the lastest Ryzen Platform.

I was going to just hit buy on the new Dark rock pro, it's been a great cooler on many builds for me.
But then I thought the whole point of this build was to have some fun and build a cheap AMD build so spending £80 on a cooler is overkill for a 95 watt part.

So could anyone recommend me a good decent cooler - had a good dig myself and this is the best I've come up with, anyone recommend anything better for under £50?

I got a Dark Rock Pro 2 to work with Be Quiets AM4 mounting kit OK, so might be worth trying for yours ? Dark Rock Pro 2 wasn't on the suppoerted list either.
I am running the same on a 3700x

I just stuck it in my best friends daughters PC we have built her for xmas using my old parts... DOhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Cheers to everyone else giving me optionsd, shame two of them are out of stock at OCUK and theMugen 5 isnt in stock till Febuary 2020 :(
