Air or Liquid Cooler for Ryzen 5 2400GE?

I'm looking for the best CPU cooler for my newly purchased AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE. I've been reading up on it and found that choosing between an air or liquid cooler can be quite challenging. Any suggestions?

I think it really depends on your budget and preferences. If you're on a tight budget, an air cooler like the Noctua NH-D15 should work well for the Ryzen 5 2400GE. It's known for being quiet and efficient.

Yeah, but liquid coolers can offer better performance at lower noise levels, especially when overclocking. I've been using the Corsair H150i ELITE and it performs great. The Choosing the Best CPU Cooler for AMD's Ryzen 5 2400GE provides a detailed comparison between air and liquid coolers for your CPU.

That's helpful, thanks! So, I assume that if I want to go for a liquid cooler, the Corsair H150i ELITE is a good choice?

It depends on your specific needs. If you need something more budget-friendly, the NZXT Kraken X53 could also be a good option. It's less noisy than air coolers and offers great performance.

True. But remember that liquid coolers can sometimes have maintenance issues, especially if they leak or the coolant deteriorates over time.

Good point. So, should I go for an air cooler like Noctua NH-D15 or a budget-friendly liquid cooler like NZXT Kraken X53? I'm leaning towards the air cooler due to its low noise levels.

Both options are good if they meet your specific needs and preferences. The Ryzen 5 2400GE doesn't require an extremely high TDP, so you have some flexibility in choosing a cooler.

Just make sure to check the compatibility with your CPU socket type (AM4) and case size before making a final decision.

Thanks for all the advice! I'll research more on these coolers and see which one fits my requirements best.
