Best AM5 air cooler around £50?

To go with this bundle - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-...-b550-aorus-elite-ax-v2-bundle-bu-02c-am.html

Might be tempted to spend more if required.

Cheers,

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE is a fantastic cooler and can be had for £37-45 depending on the version you go for. I have the ARGB version which cost just over £43.

Cheers, not interested in RGB but can't seem to find the black one under £40?

Ah it seems good value anyway so will buy.

Cheeky git's have hiked the price since I got mine last week. The non RGB one was £37.30.

As for ram clearance, I have the Team Group 8Pack 3600mhz C14 kit which has tall heatsinks and I had to raise the front fan a little to clear the memory. The cooler itself clears the memory as it has cut out's for the sticks. I posted some images in this thread, post #29.

Got it for £43 in the end, thanks for the advice.

So how was it to install and how is it cooling? Always good to have other peeps input.

Will let you know once all the bits arrive. The bundle I wanted was out of stock so I built my own but had to use three retailers to get the price down.

Got there in the end. Easy to install, quiet and my temps are good. Idling at about 34c, maxed at 58c on BF2042.
