Help Which cooler to get ?

[Randy B]

Soo I’m currently ordering my

Raidon RX 3600XT for my AMD Ryzon 5 3600

and I did some research and people said that I should get a better cooler rather than staying with stock for better performance when I’m gaming.

 

can anyone let me know which cooler to buy so I can maximize my performance without blowing up my PC thanksssss. 

budget for a cooler is around 60 USD

For the card or the cpu? whats wrong with the current cooler you're using?

The stock cooler is fine for that CPU unless you plan to overclock it. If you want to upgrade to have a quieter system or for aesthetics, you can but for performance the stock cooler does the job.

The stock cooler is plenty for that CPU. 

 

Why not put the money towards a 5700 (non XT)? You'll enjoy that more than you'll enjoy a beefy CPU heatsink.

It’s for the CPU and no nothing is wrong I’m saying that i want to OC it because I want better performance. But I think I need a better cooler for it to prevent heatsink

I mean I would but the 5700 non XT are pricey rn , unless you can find me one that cost less than 300 lmao then I’m probably going to stick with the 3600XT for now

what videogame are you playing that a ryzen 5 3600 isn't fast enough for?

I’m hoping to play on high frames with games like GTA and COD or even Valorant. But I think the problem is over heating in temp and not being able to play in 4.2 GHz without worrying

It is true that a good aftermarket cooler can give you maybe another 100MHz core clock while staying comfortable for the ears, but it doesnt matter since the bottleneck is still on the GPU (if the memory isnt too bad, that is)
