Cooler for Ryzen 5 2600

[Big oof]

I want to oc the ryzen 5 2600 to 4,2 ghz. Is the Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L RGB my best choice, or should I rather go for a different cooler? (Budget is around 65€)

Personnaly I would use the stock cooler ... there is no point in spending more on that CPU ... if you want more "CPU" buy a higher end Ryzen instead of slapping a cooler into the 2600 ...

For that budget you don't get good perfornmance low noise water pipe coolers.

Despite of higher noise that And even with that noise its performance is weaker than no DIMM/PCI-e clearance issues Mugen 5 which costs well below 50€

Slim fan makes it perform really badly for its size.

Mugen 5 beats it clearly: (H5 in midway of list)

With only six cores and 65W TDP 2600 isn't the most demanding.

But that depends lot on individual CPU.

Good one should do it relatively easily, while bad individual might have problems even with some extreme cooling.

 

Of course also good motherboard producing stable voltage is helpfull.

Think this one is good enough?

I think it's VRM is about average.

Certainly would want to keep voltage reasonable.

 

There's no PCB analysis of it like from many newer chipset AMD boards.
