I am looking for a good cooler for my AMD R5 3600 , I have an old CM Hyper tx3 evo that have made a good job on my old AMD a8 6600k but it seems that is life with me is going to end with my new CPU since it seems to be not good enough now .

Pls give me some advice on some good cooler at max 40$.
 
The Wraith coolers that come with the Ryzens are best described as 'adequate' and many people opt for an after market cooler. You dont need to go all out with a 3600 though, the cooler master hyper 212 is popular and will be ample for your cpu.

This one will be plenty, and it is shorter than a hyper 212.

btw it´s possible to control a specific colour to be fixed ?? and it´s possible to connect the rgb directly on the motherboard , right ? I have a Gigabyte b450 gaming X , I´m a noob on RGB things xD
