I've been looking for a CPU cooler for around $50-$70 bucks that can get me better temps for my Ryzen 5600x. The one I saw was the Cooler Master, Master Liquid ML240L RGB V2 because it seemed to have good reviews and it's $69.98 price fits well into my budget. I want to know what you guys think of it and if you think it'll work well with a Ryzen 5600x. I'm also open to any suggestion's you guys put in the comments. I'll link the coolers amazon page as well as my mobo down below. Thanks

For $70, that's not bad.

It should perform similarly to most other 240mm AIOs (e.g. Corsair H100i, NZXT X53, etc).

Cooler Master ML-L series are unreliable though and performance is no better than air coolers of the same price. The cooling power is good enough for a 5600X (which can be cooled with $40 coolers anyway) but that's it.
