Hai

 

I've had to send my AIO back for warranty damage and am now already 2 weeks without my computer.
They said the warranty process is going to take around 15 days more and then shipping.
So i'm looking for a cheap temporary air cooler so i can play some games in the meantime.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core

Any recommendations or numbers i should be looking for?

 

thanks in advance

I actually did exactly this also on a 5800x while I waited for an AIO back when it came out. Had it laying around from my 2700x.

Fingers crossed i'll be able to play some games again.

I believe it comes with all mounting equipment for AM4 included?

Thanks tho

Can get one used for $10 on ebay or any equivalent (and "used" don't mean anything for aircoolers..)

Yes, it does.  It'll do the trick as well as many other air coolers. 

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.
