Quiet Air Cooler for 3700x?

[Liam0126]

Hi Guys, currently speccing up a new build for this black Friday. Going to go with Ryzen 7 3700x, X570 Aorus Elite, Crucial Ballistix LT 32gb Ram 2x16gb, Gigabyte Gaming OC 5700XT in a Fractal Design Meshify C Blackout but was wondering what cpu cooler would be sufficient for my needs. Pc will be used for light gaming, Photoshop, lightroom and light video editing. I'm not a fan of RGB so the stealthier the better. Budget would be arou d £50-60, aiming for a quiet system so don't mind spending more than that if nesseary.
Thanks

Just a thought, can you not switch off the RGB on the wraith? Would probably get better temps with anything else though I guess.

I didn't think of that if I'm honest, just assumed it was a permanent RGB affair.

The Dark Rock Pro 4 is around £70 and I can highly recommend it. Better temps than my previous AIO and almost completely silent under all use conditions.

I will definitely consider that as an option, are there many differences between the standard Dark Rock and the Pro version that warrant the extra money?

DR pro has 2 fans and the DR has 1
But remember that it is a BEAST,i have the DR 2 pro and it just fits my hafx 932 case

Interesting you say that as my current case is also a 932. I am looking to downsize to a smaller case (Fractal Design Meshify C or NZXT H500) but will have to investigate how much size there is for a cooler. I'm guessing if a DR Pro 4 is a tight in a 932 it may not fit into what I am looking at buying

Thanks for the replies everyone, plenty of options to consider now leaning towards the DR PRO 4 but hoping for some good black Friday deals so that may swing me!
