[SOLVED] Cpu Cooler for Ryzen 5 2600

[dekano12]

I got this new cpu and i want to overclock the chip at 4ghz and asking if its better to use cryorig h7 /h5 or the ID Cooling SE 207 is much better as per website the id cooling has 250w of tdp also its much cheaper from the Cryorig H5.. FOR H7 its at $40 h5 $50 and for id cooling is at & $45....

Im asking as i dont see review for this heatsink

SE-207 is the superior cooler.

The 207 is probably the better cooler, but you must also consider that the center fan is solid rpm, it's basically a 3pin analog fan, so runs all the time unless moderated by voltage through the header. The front fan is 4pin PWM, as is the splitter. That's the fan that'll need to be installed to the cpu_fan header. The center fan will need to be put on a separate header as it's not PWM. The splitter is only if adding a optional PWM rear fan, Not to add the center/front to one header. This can create issues if you don't have a mobo with cpu_aux/opt header or a spare sys_fan header.

The other option is junk the center fan entirely and replace it with a decent PWM fan which can then be used in splitter to cpu_fan, but will add $10-$20 or so to the total cost.

FYI I've seen multiple people reporting they've OC'd to 4 GHz with the stock cooler. I don't know what noise is like in that case, but it seems like it couldn't hurt to try it out before you buy a new one.
