What cooler are you currently using and why do you want a new one?

Where are you shopping / located? Budget?

I have a Ryzen 5 2600 as well.  It's not a hot chip so all I use is the Wraith cooler that came with it.  So... why do you need a new one?  And whatever the reason is, just know you don't need a super beefy one.

check this tier list, they measure the tiers with just raw cooling performance: 

 

 

otherwise alpenföhn brocken 3 black edition is pretty good here in finland and it is selling in amazon.com too

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

 

Main PC:

Spoiler

|Ryzen 7 3700x, OC to 4.2ghz @1.3V, 67C, or 4.4ghz @1.456V, 87C || Asus strix 5700 XT, +50 core, +50 memory, +50 power (not a great overclocker) || Asus Strix b550-A || G.skill trident Z Neo rgb 32gb 3600mhz cl16-19-19-19-39, oc to 3733mhz with the same timings || Cooler Master ml360 RGB AIO || Phanteks P500A Digital || Thermaltake ToughPower grand RGB750w 80+gold || Samsung 850 250gb and Adata SX 6000 Lite 500gb || Toshiba 5400rpm 1tb || Asus Rog Theta 7.1 || Asus Rog claymore || Asus Gladius 2 origin gaming mouse || Monitor 1 Asus 1080p 144hz || Monitor 2 AOC 1080p 75hz || 

Test Rig.

Spoiler

| Ryzen 5 3400G || Gigabyte b450 S2H || Hyper X fury 2x4gb 2666mhz cl 16 ||Stock cooler || Antec NX100 || Silverstone essential 400w || Transgend SSD 220s 480gb ||

Just Sold

Spoiler

| i3 9100F || Msi Gaming X gtx 1050 TI || MSI Z390 A-Pro || Kingston 1x16gb 2400mhz cl17 || Stock cooler || Kolink Horizon RGB || Corsair CV 550w || Pny CS900 120gb ||

 

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Can't  go wrong with a Noctua hd 15

Actually you can. If you care to read what OP is asking. I'll give you a hint. Width: 16.51cm and Omen Obelisk.

 

Now that I got the salt out. Since its prebuilt, there won't be numbers about how tall cooler will fit. Looking at reviews etc. it seems to hold ATX PSU just. And normal sized GPU. So thats less than optimal. As it means that  CPU cooler max height is probably around 140mm. It might be more, but probably not much less.

 

What we would like is that you measure how tall cooler you can actually fit there. If you have printer available, you can use this neat tool provided by Cryorig http://www.cryorig.com/depthchecker.php

If not, then using string and ruler will work just fine. Even with just ruler. Use the motherboard surface as the starting point.

^^^^ That's my post ^^^^

Its not the cooler that comes with the 2600 cpu. I have no idea what brand they are since there are no labels on them and i cant find any info about them. I want a new one cuz the one that i have right now can make the cpu a bit toasty and i also wanted something that looks a bit better than the one i have. My budget is around 50 bucks

I don't know if you can get the RGB Wraith prism cooler separately...  if so that would look pretty sick.  The Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition CPU Cooler, looks pretty good for the money IMO.

Its not precise but the gap from the cpu to the side of the case is around 13 to 12 cm

Can you be a bit more specific? There are a number of coolers right at the height of 125mm.

I made a mistake. Its around 14.1 to 14.5 cm. I dont know if i really like those big bulky coolers. If its something a bit more low profile that would be great

Arctic Freezer 12 / 7X? Should be under 20€. Just check that the ram is not too close.

That seems fine. Do temps get any higher? Are you otherwise unsatisfied with the cooler?

The temp seems to cap out at 81 Celsius and sounds like a jet engine. Other than that i just wanted something a bit higher quality and something that looks a bit nicer wouldn't be a bad thing. If you say that those temps are fine then i dont really need something too powerful, just an upgrade would be nice

An aftermarket cooler is good if you're aiming to lower noise.

That's a bit of an upgrade. For a bit more, the Katana 5 or M9 Plus would be better:

https://www.pricerunner.dk/pl/184-4867210/Computer-koeling/Cryorig-M9-Plus-Sammenlign-Priser

 

If you can check and see that the clearance is enough for 145mm, the H7 Plus would be good for handling a more powerful cpu upgrade in the future: https://www.pricerunner.dk/pl/184-4873194/Computer-koeling/Cryorig-H7-Plus-Sammenlign-Priser
