Good cooler for Ryzen?

So I've been using my Ryzen 5 1600 for quite a while now, and it's a great chip, but the temperatures are becoming a bit of a worry for me as when I play a somewhat demanding game, it can go around 70-80c.

 

Does anyone know any air coolers that are a significant improvement over the stock cooler? Preferably less than $60, thanks.

Assuming your case can fit anything, the Cryorig H5, Dark Rock (/Pro) 3 or NH-U12S/U14S.

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

If you like to live life on the edge, buy from AliExpress... https://goo.gl/UnUJJZ, the listing mentions it's not designed for AMD platforms, but that's nothing a few zipties can't fix right ;P

I used the stock cooler with my 1600 for a while before purchasing the Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4. Like you, my temperatures overclocked to 3.8@1.35v with stock cooler were around 73c in Aida64 and 80+ in Prime95. After installing the Noctua cooler, my temps at 3.9GHz@1.4125v have yet to go beyond 65c. Pricey, but worth every penny.

 

Edit: For comparison at 3.8@1.35v on Noctua, my temps stayed around 60-62c on both Aida64 and Prime95.

Holy poop, my 1600 is rock stable 3.8ghz @ 1.25625v, and 1.325v gets me 3.85ghz.

You probably have LLC capabilities on your board, as well, or you're either not truely stable or have the CPU handmade my God. I verify with at least 6 hours of Aida64 stressing CPU/FPU/Cache. My ASRock AB350 Pro4 suffers from HORRID vdroop. My 1.35v set in bios drops to as low as 1.256 (-0.094) during load. At 1.4125, it drops to 1.325v. So your numbers look about right for someone with LLC.

LOL I actually have the ab350m Pro4, no vdroop to report either. Do you have cstates and coolnquiet turned off?

I have Cool'n'Quiet disabled, everything else is Auto. Not to hijack someone's thread, but can you verify your findings with this video?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz4AgRqhHdw - I'd like to see a screenshot of your HWiNFO64 during idle vs load.

I suppose there is some vdroop, still manage to get 3.8 @ bios set 1.25625 though!

What do you actually have set as your core voltage in the bios?

You can't. Your screenshots show your vcore as hitting 1.294 or 1.312 depending on which line you look at.

That doesn't make sense. Something's boosting your vcore higher. Your screenshot at idle clearly shows your idle vcore sitting at 1.312 dropping to 1.256 at load. Which is what mine drops to. Do you have CnQ disabled? What about Core Performance Boost?
