Question Help with a cpu cooler, please. 2600x

[jimenezbcg]

Hello guys, I hope you are having great holidays.

I am getting my pc to look dope, and its truly needing a cooler, not a liquid one.
but was wondering what air cooler might be the one my amd ryzen 2600x needs and in the future i might want a 3600x will it fit??

If you can please, send me options from Amazon, I would greatly apreciate it.

Thank you so much

PC case make and model is? Since we need to know that for CPU cooler clearance reasons, so we can suggest air cooler that fits in your PC case.

So, according to amazon listing, this PC case supports up to 160mm tall CPU coolers.

Any budget?

Since for example, Cooler Master MasterAir MA612 Stealth ARGB looks "dope" and is 158mm tall, but also costs a lot, easy 100 bucks,

All ranges I suppose hehe, only the height is what matters?

only the height is what matters?

That, and with big-boy CPU coolers, RAM clearance as well. Since big boys usually overhang RAM slots.

E.g here's king of air coolers, NH-D15S and it's RAM clearance amounts;
Read the #1 and #2 points on the image.

Though, for your CPU, you don't need big-boy CPU cooler. Instead medium sized one will do too, since those doesn't overhang RAM slots and won't block the "dope" RGB RAM visual, you most likely are going for.

One of the best values is the thermalright peerless assassin for $35:

It needs 160mm which you seem to have

Great value, yes. But level of "dopeness" is questionable, since it doesn't come with flashy ARGB fan(s).
