I have just become the owner of a Ryzan 7 1800x on a REpublic of Gamers Crosshair VI Hero mainboard.

It's currently mounted with a water block but I have no other water parts and need an inexpensive air cooler.

I want to mount it with dd4 3000mhz memory as I understand that board will overclock to this, I've also been warned it warms up fast!

Any tips on a value for money cooler for this? sufficient that I could try to overclock it to the 4Ghz it's suggested it can do?

I need to buy the memory too but while I have an overclocked i7 I've never played with these beasties before!
 
There are a few that are recommended on here but they are big. So much so that the rest of us here would need to know what PC case you have. For example I have a Lian-li PC 011 Dynamic case with a Ryzen R5 1600. This case will only allow CPU coolers of less than 155mm tall to be fitted so my choice was restricted.

I have a Coolmaster Cosmos Huge thing I intend to use for this one ;)

Also don’t try to hard to get 4ghz. The voltage increase between 3.9 and 4ghz on my chip was significant while the 100mhz increase wasn’t.

That sounds reasonable! I hadn't considered the power... Though I do have an Antec Sig 850 in there...
 
Coolmaster Cosmos has 198mm CPU clearance
Asus ROG Crosshair VI Hero has 80.1mm center CPU to near side of PCIe socket and 50.1mm center CPU to near side of RAM socket.

Only clearance you need to be careful of is front of cooler and/or front of cooler fan distance from center CPU.

OcUK is out of stock of Scythe Mugen 5 and Fuma 2 which are good and not too expensive. I would not get Mugen 5 PCGH edition because it's fans are only 300-800rpm .. which is enough for light loads but for high loads we need higher speed / higher airflow fans.

Thermalright ARO-M14O (orange top) and ARO-M14G (gray top) are good but no idea when they will be in stock. Macho Rev. C has AM4 mount and in stock. TRUE Spirit 140 Power is little over fifty quid in hand with extremely good cooling, but you might need to fit fan as pull on back of cooler because fan in front is about 53mm from center CPU so would overhang nearest RAM socket a couple mm. Might not be a problem as it depends on how tall your RAM is. If you need more info for Thermalright drop me a trust message.
