AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Processor budget cpu cooler, None overclocked cpu

Hi, I am using AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Processor with the default heatsink. Now, this is so much bugging me of wine it's making so I have decided to buy third part one. I need some help in this as I need a cooler that is easy to install and quite and that won't break the bank. What do you recommend?

How much is your budget?

syfer1987 · 22 Jul 2020 at 13:23

I would say £30

syfer1987 · 22 Jul 2020 at 13:24

can go 35 max

Several 120mm tower coolers for around that money - CM Hyper 212 Black, Be Quiet Pure Rock 2, pretty much any "name brand" 120mm tower cooler in budget should do the job.

Have a look at the Arctic Freezer 34 esports duo, it's been tested on a Ryzen 2 CPU - https://adoredtv.com/arctic-freezer-34-esports-duo-review/

£25 Arctic Freezer 34 would be good for 8 core.

That use good "bolt through" to backplate mounting.
Wouln't consider stock mounting system use by Alpenfohn Ben Nevis very good for bigger coolers.

The Hyper 212 Black has been flawless on my 3600 but I think the Artic Freezer eSports duo mentioned above appears to be better value at the price point.

What about the
LETO WHITE LED SLIM 120MM CPU COOLER

is that any good?

This one seems a good shout at around 20 quid and even looks decent too.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Jonsbo CR-1000 120mm RGB CPU Cooler - Black= £20.99

Total: £23.73 (includes shipping: £2.74)

testing using default fan curves is stupid. You only have to look at the noise differences between the two chips to see the issue.

Thank you for your help and I am going with ARCTIC FREEZER 34 CO CPU COOLER - 120MM as you suggested. Thank You.

Did you want to add some context to this? You've quoted my post but I have no idea what your post is referring to.

Please try to find a review of that cooler or any cooler you are considering before you purchase it, it's also important to ensure the review is undertaken on a Ryzen 3000 (Zen2) CPU as many coolers are specifically designed for monolithic dies (Intel & earlier AMD) and do not perform well with chiplet architecture that your CPU uses. This is why I specifically recommended a cooler that has been tested with Zen2 and has very good performance.
