Hi,
I'm looking to buy an adequate cooler for the Ryzen 7 5700X.
I don't really have a budget, but I prefer getting a good bang for buck than the lowest possible temps.
In the summer we often get 35 degrees, however I do have AC so that wouldn't be room temp.
The room itself has a window but isn't great on air circulation, so perhaps it's worth getting something on the beefier side (dual fan?).
I'm focused only on air coolers, as my old (2016-ish) Sharkoon case does not support top / bottom radiator (AFAIK).
I don't think I'll be overclocking the CPU, but I might enable Precision Boost Overdrive.
Any recommendations out there? I buy from local retailers or from Amazon.
I've set my eyes on a 2nd hand Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 Evo, but I'm not sure the buyer is serious.
Update: seems like my case won't fit it (CPU cooler max height: 15.5 cm - vs 15.7 ;_;).
Other specs:
Motherboard: Asus B450
GPU: Asrock Arc A750
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 2x8GB 3200Mhz DDR4 (height for clearance: 42 mm / 1.65 inch).
CASE: Sharkoon Vaya: https://en.sharkoon.com/product/11728
Any tips regarding benchmarks available online will also be appreciated. 1st time heavier CPU cooler fan I'm buying.
Thanks in advance!
