Solution

Yeah, I've read that one! Thanks for sharing it, @kkirzinger. Based on my experience, both the CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Liquid CPU Cooler and the Noctua NH-D15 are excellent choices. The iCUE is great for liquid cooling enthusiasts, while the Noctua NH-D15 offers a premium air cooling solution.

Thanks for the suggestions! I was leaning towards an air cooler since it's more budget-friendly. Do you think the Noctua NH-D15 can handle the heat generated by my Ryzen 3 Pro 3200G?

The Noctua NH-D15 should definitely be able to handle the heat from your Ryzen 3 Pro 3200G. It's a top-notch air cooler with great performance and low noise levels.

That's good to know! I've been looking at it on Amazon, but there are so many options available. Any other factors I should consider when choosing a CPU cooler?

When choosing a cooler for your Ryzen 3 Pro 3200G, you should also take into account the noise levels, size, lighting, and price of the cooler. Gaming performance can also be affected by the cooling system's efficiency.

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely keep those factors in mind while making my decision. Any recommendations on what TDP to look for in a CPU cooler?

The Ryzen 3 Pro 3200G has a peak TDP of 88 watts, so you'll need a cooler that can handle at least that much heat. It's essential to choose a cooler with a TDP that matches or exceeds the peak TDP of your processor for efficient heat management.

Got it! So I should aim for a CPU cooler with at least an 88-watt TDP? That makes sense. Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions!
