The CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Liquid CPU Cooler is great for the Ryzen 5 1500X! It's efficient, quiet, and looks amazing.

I've had a Noctua NH-D15 air cooler on my Ryzen 5 1500X, and it works like a charm. It's reliable and doesn't make much noise.

The stock cooler that came with the Ryzen 5 1500X was good enough for me initially, but I did upgrade to a liquid cooler later on because I needed better cooling performance and lower noise levels.

Good advice! And don't forget to check if the CPU cooler you're considering has a compatible mounting bracket for the AM4 socket. That's crucial for proper installation on the Ryzen 5 1500X.
