Best CPU Cooler for Ryzen 5 4500?

I've recently bought a new AMD Ryzen 5 4500 and need some help choosing the best CPU cooler for it. Any recommendations?

I would recommend checking out the CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Liquid CPU Cooler or the Noctua NH-D15, both are excellent options for the Ryzen 5 4500. The TechReviewer article Choosing the Best CPU Cooler for AMD's Ryzen 5 4500 discusses their performance and suitability in more detail.

Thanks for the suggestions! I was leaning towards an air cooler since they're usually more affordable and less noisy. What do you think about the Noctua NH-D15?

The Noctua NH-D15 is a great choice if you prefer an air cooler. It's known for its excellent cooling performance, low noise levels, and high TDP. However, it might be a bit pricey compared to other options.

Good to know! I'm also considering the Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Liquid CPU Cooler. How does it compare in terms of cooling performance and price?

The CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Liquid CPU Cooler is a fantastic choice if you're looking for a liquid cooler. It offers great cooling performance, a nice LED display, and is more affordable than the Noctua NH-D15. Just make sure your case can accommodate its size.

Thanks again for all the input! I'll do some research on these options. By the way, did anyone have any experience with the stock Wraith Stealth cooler that comes with the Ryzen 5 4500?

The stock Wraith Stealth cooler works fine for casual use, but it may struggle under heavy workloads or when overclocking. You'll likely want a better cooler if you plan on pushing your CPU to its limits.

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the advice! I think I might go with either the Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Liquid CPU Cooler or the Noctua NH-D15, depending on which one fits better in my case. Any tips on what to look for when it comes to size and compatibility?

Make sure you check the dimensions of both coolers and compare them with your case's internal space. Also, verify that they have compatible mounting brackets for the AMD Ryzen 5 4500. You'll want to avoid any issues with fitment or cooling performance.

Thanks for all the help, everyone! I appreciate it. Have a great day!

You're welcome! Good luck with your decision. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
