[SOLVED] best cpu cooler for ryzen 7 3700x. Non radiator.

[Deepwaterlife48]

my current system has the wraith prism top down cpu cooler. im thinking of replacing my thermal paste and getting a better cooler. im leaning to a noctua cooler but id prefer to keep rgb but have better performance. im not dead set on cpu cooler rgb however i do like the fact that the prism's rgb can be set to cpu temp. other models that are upgrades that can do this?

suggestions?

What case do you have? The case limits the height of the cooler.

meshify c.

From this page -- https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/meshify/meshify-c/ That case has a maximum cooler height of 170mm.
I will always pick a Noctua cooler. The D15 will fit -- https://noctua.at/en/products/cpu-cooler-retail/nh-d15/specification
