Cooling a ryzen 5 3600

[steve55]

Hello guys, I know that this might be a stupid question, but if I want to buy an aftermarket cooling fan for my ryzen 5 3600 besides the wraith stealth fan that comes with it, can I use both to cool the cpu? am I forced to remove the wraith steatlh and replace it with the other one or can they both add up to cool up the cpu at the same time?

Side question: which cooling fan should I buy for a ryzen 5 3600 cpu? (I play for long periods of time in a row in 240 fps)

one at a time. There's no room for two.

Wraith stealth (or all of the Wraith series for AM4) only have room for one fan. They arent tower coolers that you can add a fan to.

thank you  mate, you saved me the embarrassment pretty quickly 

also do u mind if I ask you, what cooler do you recommand for my ryzen 3600 not to overheat (I play for long periods of time at 240hz)

Depends on price, on paper you dont need to get something better than a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black or Arctic Freezer 34 but it could be cheap to go further into the big heatsinks, like the Scythe Mugen 5 Rev B

The stock cooler won't overheat it, but if you want a decent tower cooler for cheap, the Arctic freezer exports duo works fine.

 

Make sure you quote us so we see your responses.

I decided to buy the arctic freezer 34 https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/product/ByGxFT/arctic-freezer-34-cpu-cooler-acfre00052a

for only 28 euro, (the cheapest in my region out of those you and @Fasauceome mentionned) thank you guys
