Hello there,
I have case Zalman Z9 U3, I am upgrading my PC with Ryzen 3600. I am going to buy some decent B450 MAX MOBO, so I am planning to squeeze out the CPU for 200 MHz more (?). I guess, that stock cooler is not suitable for this purpose.
Could you recommend to me some good cooler for it? I had Scythe Katana 4, but mounting kits for AM4 socket costs around 16 EUR and it is quite amount for two small metal parts with four screws.
Is it worth to buy KATANA 4 mounting kit and it will be fine for my purpose, or should I buy something better?
On my case, I have 3 fans right now: one on the top, one on the back side and one at the front. There is free space for one fan at the bottom of the case and one another on the top.
I accept water and air cooler, but I would like to have coller, which will not restrict too much my access to MOBO components, f.e. restricting me to use 4 RAM slots (altough now, I am going to use probably just 2x8 gb).
So the main goals are: fine temperature, possibility to handle as well some newer CPU's when the current one will be upgraded, good access to MOBO and cooler must fit to my current case (obviously). RGB is a bonus.
Main purpose of this PC is gaming.
Thank you so much.
