New air-cooler for Ryzen 5 3600

BegDn

Hi everyone. At December of 2019 I've built my 1st PC:

Case: Aerocool Aero-500 Window Black
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
GPU: RTX 2060 Super
4 PWM Fans: 2 front, 1 up, 1 rear
PSU: Corsair TX650M
(my built has more things, but I decided to write those who might matter for the topic)

I've kept the stock cooler since then and now I realized I might need a better one. The temps I'm having are:
Idle: 53-70 degrees, Light Gaming: 70-84 degrees and on Demanding Gaming: 84-95 degrees.
I might haven't clean the fins of the stock cooler, but I remember that even in the first months I've had similar temps. So now I've decided to buy a new cooler for better temps and less sound. Also in my case I can't put a cooler with a Height over than 15,5cm (unless I remove the side panel, which I prefer not to do)

I'm thinking of buying Deepcool Gammaxx 200T at price of 17€. I know it's not a great one, but I don't mind not having very low temps. I only mind to not have temps over 85 degrees even on demanding gaming. Plus I live in a country that has high degrees on Summer (near 30 degrees mostly). Should I go for the budget Deepcool Gammaxx 200T, or should I buy a better one even though it might cost something more? Do you have any suggestions?

Let me know :3

Looking at the pics I got from googling “gammax 200t” I’m seeing both 2 and 3 pipe coolers so I’m just not sure.  I might chance the 3 pipe but 2 pipes seems thin to me. That particular design in 3 pipe was well liked long ago, but looking at it the odd cone shaped fan looks very proprietary and I don’t know how long it lasts. Very generally A 96 or 120mm 3 pipe cooler would probably work.  I’m seeing the gammax 200t as going for $31 which isn’t very cheap for what it is.  If you want to throw $30 at a cooler there are decent 4pipe coolers like the hyper212 or the esports that are cheaper.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

30 degree summers aren't that hot, that's pretty normal. I wouldn't bother getting a cooler that's only going to give you marginally better temperatures, especially since the price difference between that and something significantly better is only like 40. My advice, spend the money for a Noctua or similar mid range air cooler.

I'd recommend spending a bit more for a slightly better cooler. Where are you shopping / located?

Why spending money on something I don't need? Noktua will be overkill for a mid-range CPU. Plus, it won't fit in my case

I live in Greece (Athens more specifically) and I will shop in stores in Athens. I'd like a budget cooler if possible

No pcpartpicker for Greece.  They got a bunch of EU countries though.

Why spend almost as much to drop only a few degrees? Makes even less sense. Noctua makes dozens of coolers. They make one that will fit.

There's no reason spending so much money on a cooler like that. I want a budget cooler just so my CPU won't overheat for 5 years, I don't want an overkill cooler to have the lowest temps I can have on a Ryzen 5 3600. I don't have money to waste, so I won't get noctua
