Morning

What is the cheapest AM4/Ryzen cpu cooler available? I'm just looking to test my new CPU,MOBO and RAM before I build my new WC loop just in case anything is DOA as I won't get to start my new build properly for a few weeks.

Cheers

Tom

If you bought a 1700 then theres a free one

1700x - Did look at a few Wraiths on a certain auction site but around 30 plus postage

This one is the cheapest I think. It doesn't use the holes in the motherboard it uses the plastic mounting clips that come pre installed in AMD motherboards which is why it's compatible since before launch.
