Ryzan 7 1800x air cooling

[MoridinUK]

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...
