Ryzen 5 3600 Cooling

I have, after a bit of research, discovered that, not to my surprise, the cpu cooler that comes with the 3600 is pretty bad. Therefore, I want to purchase a different air cooler for my cpu. The only issue is, I'm not sure which one to get. I've clicked countless review sites and videos for "top 5 coolers for the 3600" and such and every time they are different coolers. I would like to stay away from liquid cooling because they tend to be more expensive and I'm trying to keep it as cheap as possible. I want to find a decent air cooler that I can use to overclock the gpu a little bit (hopefully to 3.9GHz ish) and, simultaneously, keep it relatively cool at a fair price. I've been looking around and can't seem to find such a cooler or maybe I've just been looking in the wrong places. If anyone has an ideas or any that they have personally used that they can recommend that would be a-m-a-z-i-n-g!

 

Thanks!!!

I have heard of that one a couple times being pretty good and yeah, that's what I assumed for the stock cooler. The 34 duo looks pretty good and has a good price tag on it. Do you think it'll do the trick?

Alright I'll take your word for it lol. All jokes aside though I do think it'll be good I have seen it mentioned a few times for being a good cpu cooler and it looks really good. Thanks for the suggestion my guy!

Pretty much any tower cooler will be sufficient. You could even try pick up a cheap wraith prism, I've seen them go for as little as 10 USD.

If you're trying to keep price down, the Gammaxx 400 or SE-224 XT are hard to beat:

I like the looks of the SE-224 XT. Do you know if this cooler would be good enough to overclock the 3600 a little bit as well?

I'm assuming it's better than the stock cooler as well?

Yes, it wouldn't make sense to recommend it otherwise. You can see how the performance stacks up to other coolers here:
