Recommended Cooler for an AMD 5500 CPU

I was thinking of upgrading to a 5500 and read a bit that the stock cooler doesn't cool it very well, I was wondering if it's true and/or what cooler would be best for it.

 

I have a bunch of space surrounding my CPU so I don't think size problems should be an issue.

 

I appreciate any help provided!

The stock cooler is adequate for the 5500 but if you want a better cooler then the 'Thermalright Assassin X SE' is a good budget cooler at 16 dollars.

get a 5600(x) those can be found used for the same price or less than a 5500 new or atleast get a used 3600(x) as those should be alot cheaper than a new 5500

 

cooler wise stock will be fine, just save up the 35$ for a phantom spirit 120 while you use the stock cooler if you want to upgrade the cooler

 

btw whats the budget country and full partlist? a 5500 build would usually belong somewhere in the 500$ budgets

I have updated my profile to show almost all of the parts, I did lose power so I can't fill in all of the details but hopefully this helps.
