I've found any number of good coolers but can't keep straight who has a simple attachment vs. a nightmare. I like how the Noctua NH-U12P looks really simple but I'm not looking at top shelf. This is for a Ryzen 2600 on a Asus TUF plus B450 or MSI Gaming plus. Case is not fixed yet. Need quiet, good cooling, not ice cold, and easy attach.

I was leaning towards the Arctic Freezer 34 eSports though it's a hair taller than I'd prefer. Also considering a Thermaltake Contact silent 12. Not sure if an Antec A40PRO fits AM4 but I prefer 4 pipe, not too heavy. Finally, I've always liked the Gelid Snowstorm b/c it leans back but figure for the $ I can find better cooling.


Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
