Do you OC ?  If so a low profile one will not like that very much.  Just grab a Evo , it is not as big as DRP 4 and what not.  Also low profile will never give you the cooling a big HSF would.

Yes, I already OC my ryzen 2600 to 4.15 GHz and the temps are fine. Haven't thermal throttled once, and I've been using the stock cooler in a small case; the Cougar qbx. Also that's without the extra 4 fans i'm planning on buying. So temps is something I'm not worried about, I'm more worried about height clearance. The evo doesn't fit in the cougar either.

Do you OC ? You can get this  If so a low profile one will not like that very much.   Also low profile will never give you the cooling a big HSF would.

Noctua NH-U12A is probably the best lower profile HSF.  Do not get a DRP 4 or NH-15 as they are well above your budget and what not.

I mean I already did it with a stock cooler... not even the wraith but the stealth and temps are fine also those are a little too much.

Your cooler,  It has heat sink and fan.  Co we call them HSF.  So you want bling bling.  Here this one is low profile and dirt cheap at 25 bucks,, it will do better then your stock cooler.  Deep Cool HSF low profile

Looks are subjective. Is there anything you've seen so far that you consider better looking?

What ram are you using? Where are you shopping / located?
