[SOLVED] Best cooler for AM4 CPUs ?

[Charles_77]

Good day, people !

I'm building a gaming PC and I'm looking to go towards the Ryzen 3600 CPU.

I want to get a CPU cooler, but I realize that most of them don't come with a proper bracket for this CPU's socket.

Do you have any suggestions on what cooler I should choose ? Ideally, I would like something not too expensive. FYI I'm in Canada.

Thank you in advance for your help !

AM4 has been around for almost 3 years.

What's your budget? Would you want an air or water cooler?
7NM is pretty efficient so you dont need a big beefy cooler. The stock cooler is sufficient, but keeps the CPU toasty.

The stock cooler that comes with the 3600 is really all you need.

If you're worried about overclocking then I would suggest you look online at some of the benchmarks, there doesn't seem to be much room for it at all and the results are not that great so in most cases overclocking doesn't appear to be worth it.
