Top Coolers for AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 3600?

The Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Liquid CPU Cooler and Noctua NH-D15 are great options. There's an article about this in TechReviewer Choosing the Best CPU Cooler for AMD's Ryzen 5 Pro 3600. It covers the pros and cons of each one.
That's really helpful, thanks for sharing! I've heard a lot of good things about those coolers. What do you think about air coolers compared to liquid ones?
Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Air coolers are generally cheaper and quieter when idle, but can get noisy under load. On the other hand, liquid coolers like the Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE LCD Liquid CPU Cooler offer better cooling performance at higher TDPs, but they can be more expensive and sometimes noisier.
Good point! I'd also consider the size of your PC case and the noise levels you're comfortable with. Some air coolers can take up a lot of space, while liquid coolers usually have radiators that need dedicated fan locations.
That makes sense. What about LED lighting on these coolers? Do they add much to the overall cost?
I recently got the Noctua NH-D15 for my Ryzen 5 Pro 3600, and it's been working great so far. The build quality is fantastic, and it keeps my CPU cool without being too loud.
That's awesome to hear! I'm glad you're happy with your choice. LED lighting can add some visual appeal, but it doesn't necessarily affect the cooling performance or overall cost that much. It's more of a personal preference thing.
Alright, thank you all for the advice! I'll definitely be considering these factors when making my decision.
