Hi guys.. my apologies if this question has been asked elsewhere.. I tried doing google research and I'm getting conflicting answers on this
... I did see this thread
forums.tomshardware.com
My PC currently has the somewhat old (purchased year 2018) " Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler, 4 CDC Heatpipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Aluminum Fins for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1200/1151 " model number RR-212E-20PK-R2 ... here's the newegg link to the webpage product listing from back when I bought it
https://www.newegg.com/cooler-maste...0pk-r2/p/N82E16835103099?Item=N82E16835103099
and I should point out that I don't think this is the "version 2" newer model I think it's the older one.
I'm trying to decide if it's worth saving some money and just re-using this on say a Ryzen 5 5600x processor (to give an example ) .... this website seems to recommend the same model number based on the amazon link they give as an okay "budget cooler"
https://levvvel.com/best-cpu-cooler-for-ryzen-5-5600x/
and in this youtube video assuming this guy is using the same model number cooler as what I am using (that setup he's using looks identical to what I have in terms of the X shaped mounting bracket, backplate and screws) then looks like I'm all set

but... I guess it would be nice to just get some confirmation from someone that this will work
.. both in terms of will my current cpu cooler actually mount onto an AM4 socket and whether or not it will provide enough cooling.
I do not plan on overclocking the CPU, I would be using it for gaming, and I have a mid sized tower case (Phanteks Pro M Series (PH-ES515PTG_BK) Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Case, Black ) with .. feel free to laugh at me but I'm the paranoid type
... two fans mounted at the front of the case, two fans at the top of the case, one fan on the back of the case, and the cooler I'm using has two 120 mm fans mounted on it as well.
If this makes a difference I was thinking of the "ASRock B450 Steel Legend Socket" motherboard which according to PC part picker will take the hyper 212 evo so ... hopefully pcpartpicker isn't lying to me?
Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this and replies

[SOLVED] - Ryzen 5600x Cooler upgrade as stock sucks and my old Hyper 212 Evo dont have AM4 socket
