Cheap AM4 cooler

[BurblingBarbacoa]

Hey, 

 

I'm planning a water cooled build and I obviously want to test the system before I go and slap water blocks on everything. The 1800x doesn't come with a cooler, so I'm looking for the cheapest air cooler that will handle the 1800x for a quick component test...

you can probably find something even cheaper on eBay if that helps.

It says it can cool up to 70w tdp chips and the 1800x is at 95w stock. Will that end up being a problem with the system running for just a few minutes?

for a short test run to check if it works, it'll be fine. i wouldn't stress the CPU though.

Yeah, all I'd be doing is going into the BIOS and checking that everything is working and detected.
