Which CPU cooler for a Ryzen 5 2600?

[lockstercarbz]

Hello! I'm going to be buying a PC in a month or two and was wondering which current air cooler or liquid cooler would be suitable to get approximately 60-70 degrees under most loads.

For example, the loads I would put it under would be 3D modelling and rendering in Maya 2018, rendering in Unreal Engine 4 and gaming. The case is big enough for coolers with 240mm radiators to my knowledge, the specs are here, it's the Coolermaster Masterbox 5t: http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/masterbox-5t/.

I'm also looking to keep the budget in between £50-60. Thanks for all your help! This is also my first post

You should look at Noctua Coolers they are pretty good air coolers.

Very good and helpful suggestion, but I’m looking for specificity, do you have any good Noctua cooler ideas that fit my recommendations?

NH-D15 SE-AM4 is a really beefy one (from USA so I don't know if prices are exactly copied over) should be 63 pounds. Or NH-D9DX i4 3U with a mounting kit would also work well for a bit cheaper (don't forget the mounting kit with this one).

Thanks a lot! That’s my problem solved!

I'm under the impression that modern AMD stock coolers are actually quite decent, why not give that a try first?

Yeah, how good is the Wraith Stealth? Do they get good temperatures?

Sounds like the stock cooler is probably fine if you're not overclocking:

Is it worth paying an extra £30 for the 2600X with a better stock cooler? The Spire is meant to be better than Stealth

 

[lockstercarbz]

Getting a better CPU and a slight cooler upgrade is worth £30, do you think so?

In my personal opinion, I think you're better off buying the 2600 and a good cooler, that can give you better performances than the 2600x with the stock cooler.
