CPU cooler for the ryzen 7 1800x?

I have a ryzen 7 1800x as the title says and have an old hyper 212 evo that I might use with it, though the problem is that I bought it before am4 came out so I'd have to buy the am4 bracket for another $16 Cad just to use the cooler. Would it be worth paying the $16 for just the bracket? Or would it make more sense just to buy a new cooler for more OC legroom and sell the old one?
 
Solution
the thing with ryzen 1 is that cpu hits a wall around 3.9-4.1 no matter what you do, which makes the cooler irrelevant after a certain point. I think it’s fine paying $16.

Cheers.
