Ideal CPU Coolers for Ryzen 5 3600XT?

I'm looking for some suggestions on the best CPU coolers for my newly bought AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT. Any recommendations?

You should consider both air and liquid coolers. Air coolers are more budget-friendly, but liquid coolers offer better cooling performance.

For the Ryzen 5 3600XT, I recommend checking out the CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Liquid CPU Cooler and the Noctua NH-D15, Premium CPU Cooler. Both of these have been great for me. You can find a detailed comparison in this TechReviewer article Choosing the Best CPU Cooler for AMD's Ryzen 5 3600XT.

@bubblezombie! And thanks for the suggestions, @smurfinq1. The liquid cooler seems to be more efficient, but I'm worried about the noise levels. Are they generally quiet?

I've used an air cooler and recently switched to a liquid one. The noise difference was noticeable. Liquid coolers can get quite noisy when running at full speed, but most come with fans that are pretty quiet during idle or low load situations.

That's good to know, @BillFromAccounting7. It seems like the Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE LCD is a popular choice for the Ryzen 5 3600XT. Does anyone have experience with it?

I've been using the CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Liquid CPU Cooler for a few months now, and I must say it's fantastic! The cooling performance is great, and I rarely hear any noise from it.

That's very encouraging, @smurfinq1. Thanks for sharing your experience. Now I'm torn between the Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE LCD and the Noctua NH-D15. Can anyone provide some insights on air coolers?

I've used a Noctua NH-D15 in the past, and it was excellent. It's quieter than most air coolers I've tried and performs well for its class. The only downside is that they can be a bit more expensive.

Great, @bubblezombie and @smurfinq1, you both have given me some really good options to consider. I'll take some time to read up on the TechReviewer article Choosing the Best CPU Cooler for AMD's Ryzen 5 3600XT you mentioned earlier and make my decision based on my specific needs. Thanks for all your help!

No problem, @bumblebees3. Good luck with your search! And remember, it's always a good idea to check the compatibility of the cooler with your CPU socket type and case size.

@bumblebees3 Just one more thing - consider the noise levels when choosing a CPU cooler. Some coolers can get quite loud, especially under heavy load. Make sure you're comfortable with the noise levels before making your final decision.

Thanks for all the advice, everyone! I'll definitely keep these factors in mind and make an informed choice. Have a great day!

You too, @bumblebees3. Happy building!
