Best AM5 air cooler around £50?

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.

Bummer. Worst part of builds is waiting for parts.

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

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

from what i can gather the CPU will run hot with what ever cooler you choose, BUT the better the cooler, the less throttling it will do

i went and bought a Noctua D15 myself

what?

i see 55c in game

my CPU as literally never throttled even when stress testing @ 4.75Ghz

What others have already said. I'm running 3600X under Thermalright ARO-M14O idles at 35-40c completely silent, and 73-76c under heavy load (rendering graphics) with fans just fast enough to be audible once in awhile (1000-1200rpm).

i never put the stock cooler on my chip but all the reviews show it doesn't throttle with it, so anything bigger as zero change of throttling unless you use PBO and it pumps 1.45v into the CPU, i could see temps getting high then.
my CPU at 4.75Ghz(1.325v fixed) hits 77c after 10min run of cinebench R23
