Haven't used air cooling since the Pentium days so can anyone suggest an air cooler to go with a 5800x?
Specs of the build consist of:
Asus Crosshair VIII Impact mobo
GSkill Trident Z Royals
Ryzen 5800x
Ideally looking for less than £35, though cheaper the better. Considering AMD do not provide a stock cooler with their CPU, this is only temporary solution while i make sure the components i have purchased work.
Would be a pain if some parts were DOA and the watercooling loop was in place.
Thanks
P.s i do have a EK Supremacy WB lying about which includes AMD fittings... the manual mentions AM3, so i assume the placements are different to AM4, or would the mounting bracket not matter?
