Do I need EVGA CLC 240 or Noctua NH-D15 for Ryzen 5 3600X?

Hey all,

 

A Ryzen 5 3600X is on the way for me.  I hope to overclock the 3600X and the ram a bit if possible, but I doubt I'll be able to get much since I chose MSI B450 Gaming Plus as my motherboard and RiperJaws V 3200 mhz C16, 2x8GB for budget reasons.

 

Thus I wonder if I'll even need an aftermarket cooler. I read that AMD kind of cheaped out on the 3600X cooler by not attaching copper plating.

I currently have a ChiOne e1a-120. Honestly, I don't know if that's worse than using the stock cooler (have never measured).

 

Right now I can get a Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L (tier C) for $69.99 CAD or a Noctua NH-D15 for $99.95 CAD or EVGA CLC 240 for $99.99 CAD.

The reason I'd choose Noctua is due to less points of failure, and I'm more at peace knowing my computer won't be destroyed by leaks.

 

But, I'm wondering if going for the Noctua or EVGA is even worth it giving my computer's specs..

 

Thank you all in advance
