I recently got an AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT and I'm trying to find the best air cooler for it. Does anyone have any recommendations? I've seen some great reviews for Noctua NH-D15, but not sure if it's a good fit.

The Noctua NH-D15 is a solid choice! I've been using it with my 3600XT and it keeps the CPU cool under heavy loads. It also has a really quiet operation, which is a plus for me.
Hey @tangapormi, if you're considering air coolers, check out this TechReviewer article Choosing the Best CPU Cooler for AMD's Ryzen 5 3600XT that compares some of the best options available in the market. It might help you make an informed decision.
Thanks for the suggestion @OlympianDWill. I'll definitely give it a read! So, do you think the Noctua NH-D15 is worth the investment?
For me, it was absolutely worth it. The build quality is top-notch and the performance is great too. But, if you're looking for something more affordable or with better RGB lighting, there are other options out there.
I've been using a Corsair H150i liquid cooler with my 3600XT and I must say, it's been fantastic! The cooling performance is impressive and it runs really quiet. Plus, the LCD display adds a nice touch to the build.
That sounds amazing @michaelnabil, but I'm leaning more towards an air cooler since I have limited space on my desk. Any suggestions for compact options?
If you're looking for a high-quality air cooler that doesn't take up too much space, the be quiet! Pure Rock Slim might be worth considering. It's quite tall but very slim and has great cooling performance.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. It's an affordable option with good cooling capabilities and it's also pretty compact. Great for smaller cases or those with limited space.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions! The Noctua NH-D15 seems like a strong contender but I'll also check out the be quiet! Pure Rock Slim and Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. By the way, @OlympianDWill, what did you think of the TechReviewer article? Did it help you make your decision?
The article was really insightful, @tangapormi. It provided a comprehensive comparison of the top air coolers available in the market. It helped me understand the pros and cons of each option, which made my decision easier.
That's great to hear! I'm glad it was helpful for you. Good luck with your search for the perfect cooler for your 3600XT!
Thanks all! I'll definitely keep that TechReviewer article in mind as I make my final decision. Have a great day everyone!
