Corsair h55 with Ryzen 7 3700

[rebootentag]

I currently have an I5 3750k with a corsair h55 cooler.  I have a corsair carbide series 300r compact case with window.

 

I am planning on upgrading to the ryzen 7 3700 x with a new mobo and ram.   I dont have a specific mobo in mind right now but I plan on getting 32gb ddr4 ram.  

 

I was looking at getting a 550 or 570 mobo. 

 

I have a sapphire rx 590 nitro+ special edition that i am keeping. 

 

I was looking online and I can see that the corsair h55 is comparable with AM4 chipset.  I have already just now bought the adapter online for $15 USD.

 

I am not right now looking to OC the CPU.

 

I am trying to save as much money as possible with this upgrade since it will be very expensive.

 

1) If I already have the h55 then should i just use that with the adapter since I already have it?

2) would the stock cooler that comes with the 7 3700x be better than the h55?

3) before i found out that the cooler was compatible , i was planning on getting the cooler master hyper 212 rgb black edition 57.3 cfm cpu cooler.  which one is better, h55, stock or this one.

 

Thanks in advance.

The 212 is a waste for modern CPUs

 

The H55 will also not be much better than the Wraith Prism while having more points of failure. Just use the stock cooler

On another part; what is a good mobo to use $150 - $200 for my case, ryzen 7 3700x, sapphire rx 590 nitro+ special edition, 32 gb of ram.

I would put it in my asrock b450 gaming k4. It's the cheapest mobo with good VRM, decent IO, good number of internal headers.

I hope you know what kind of ram you are buying, ryzen doesn't play nice with any cheap-o memory.

 

I agree with 5x5, the 212 is a waste of money. The arctic freezer 34 is practically the same thing and it's cheaper.

I'd suggest buying an aircooler because afaik the h55 is a pretty old model. If yours is older than 3-4 years, I don't think it's gonna last much longer anyways. The aforementioned arctic would be the cheapest cooler I'd put on a 3700x, though I'd personally would get something beefier. The stock cooler would probably do the job, but it would be too loud for me.
