Hi @Memme_gamer

The stock cooler is plenty "good enough" and hardly what one would call loud. Especially if you set a custom fan curve. However, what I think is loud and you think is loud could be very different

BeQuiet! or Noctua make great silent coolers. What mobo do you have & how much space do you have in your case?

Nothing with moving parts can be truly silent.
But, it can be all but inaudible.

A very good cooler would be a tower type air cooler with a 120mm fan.
They will need 160mm headroom to clear the fan.
The specs for a case should tell you.
Or, measure your current headroom.

A relatively unknown cooler that I have used is the scythe kotetsu for $50 or so.

Scythe Kotetsu CPU Cooler: A Compact King

Weighing just over a pound and having only a single 120 mm fan, the Scythe Kotetsu still manages to compete and beat much of the larger competition. April 30, 2014 by Lawrence Lee Product Scythe Kotetsu CPU Cooler Manufacturer Scythe MSRP US$35 Scythe took a big step last year with the Mugen 4...

That's a good cooler.

A very good choice.
I have used one before.
Easy to install, and it will come with a couple of low noise adapters to balance the cooling vs. noise equation.

Will the 3200MHz 2x8GB corsair vengeance Black fit with the cooler

You are good.
The cooler has 41mm available to clear the fan mounted in the usual position.
Vengeance lpx is only 31mm tall, so you are ok.
If you use the rgb versions, they are 51mm tall.
In the event that you want to use ram with higher heat spreaders,, there are two options.

1. the fan can easily be moved 10mm up to clear the ram.
2. The fan can be mounted on the opposite side in a pull orientation.

As to speed, ryzen likes fast ram; 3200 speed is the fastest your motherboard supports.
