HELLO GUYS I RECENTLY BOUGHT A RYZEN 2600X AND WANT TO OC IT.I DONT WANT A LIQUID AIO SINCE I DONT LIKE THEM MUCH.CAN U PLEASE SUGGEST A AIR CPU COOLER FOR EXTREME OC.IS THE DARK ROCK PRO 4 GOOD ENOUGH FOR EXTREME OC(4ghz)?

You can get 4ghz easily on the stock cooler.

The Dark Rock 4 is a good cooler. I have one on my 2600 with no OC and in my case I'll generally idle at around 28c, or about 6 over ambient, and gaming it never breaks 40 c in the games I play. It's not cheap though. But it is a good looker.

But if all you were wanting was to go for 4ghz, you don't need the 2600x. Get the 2600 and save the money and OC it to 4ghz.

That's a good question.

I would imagine the Dark Rock 4 would allow for the cpu to be overclocked in a hotter environment and still keep the chip cool given its rating from Be Quiet!, but at the same time the limiting factor would the how hot the ambient air temperature would be as that will be the deciding factor in just how efficient the cooler can dissipate the heat.
