Cooler for r7 5700X3D [Stock]

[8tyone]

Hello,
I need an air cooler for an r7 5700X3D, at stock settings.

System: 5700x3d
Asrock B550M Pro 4
Ripjaws X 3200Mhz 32GB RAM
Deepcool AG400 RGB (incapable)
Country: India (No AC PC room)

BUDGET: less than 3600 INR

Please, visit, pcpricetracker.in and its "coolers", section.

A couple of the coolers I liked, what do you think:
* DeepCool AG620 ARGB, 3255INR
has heat pipe direct contact base
* CoolerMaster Hyper 620S ARGB, 3299INR
has solid contact base plate, base

Thank you.

AG620 is solid. It would get my pick.

Sorry to say this one thing, but its the "AG"620 version not the higher performing, costly "AK"620. Are you by any chance confusing it with the AK ?
Thank you for helping.

I don't know what's available in the India market but having shoved a few 5700X3Ds into PCs as upgrades recently I can definitely say that they need a pretty good cooler.

Look for a 120mm tower, it doesn't have to be particularly large because the 5700X3D's maximum power consumption is only 142W and it normally uses less than that. What you definitely need is a solid baseplate instead of those cheaper coolers that make direct contact to the CPU with heatpipes.

I've run my 5800X3Ds with several coolers over the last few years - custom loop, Bequiet and ID-Cooling AIOs, Old noctua NH-U12, Deepcool AK620, AMD Wraith Spire and Wraith Prism, and ID-Cooling 226XT. The problem isn't providing enough cooling power, the problem is getting the small amount of heat produced away from the CPU as quickly as possible so you're after a big coldplate/baseplate above all else that can act as a big thermal mass and get concentrated heat to as many heatpipes as possible. In a hot country with the lower TjMax on a 5700X3D and the 3D V-Cache in the way of cooling, you really can't get away with a direct-contact heatpipe design.

Here in Europe, the Thermalright BA120 was just about the cheapest 120mm cooler with a solid baseplate, under €20 on Amazon, though prices have gone up after it was that price for a couple of years.

Just look for a solid baseplate like that with at least 4 heatpipes and you'll be fine.

The AG620 is a decent cooler.

Differences are very small. AK620 just looks nicer and maybe has slightly better fans but both coolers are more or less exactly the same.

I did give a budget ( less than 3600INR) and website to look for ( pcpricetracker.in ) in my original post. Could you look into it recommend a cooler. Thermalright not available here. Sometimes theres one or two in amazon but at extremely inflated prices.
The CM Hyper 620c ARGB has a solid baseplate. But not much reviews. What do you think? Its also within the budget!

Both the Hyper 620C and AG620 seem pretty similar, I'd probably go with the Deepcool, since it fits the bill and has decent reviews.

I'd say the AK500 will do too, it ought to be cheaper than either the AG620 or AK620, but it doesn't seem to be cheaper in India so you might as well just step up to the AG620.

...but ag620 doesnt have the solid baseplate and Hyper 620C does, like you suggested? Still get ag620?
