I'm looking for an affordable cooler for my Ryzen 5 7600X. I found the THERMALRIGHT Assassin X 120 Refined SE priced at 27 euros and wanted to know if that would be sufficient, or if I should consider something more expensive. Any recommendations?

I have an AK400 on mine, and it keeps things cool, even when I push the CPU a bit. You probably don't need an AiO cooler unless you're doing some serious overclocking!
You could always go for the Peerless Assassin SE for just a bit more—15 euros extra isn’t too bad if you want that extra assurance!
I’ve been using my 7600X with air cooling and it’s never overheated. So as long as you set it up right, you should be able to manage just fine with what you’ve got.
Yes, that's definitely enough cooling power! If you want to consider another option, the Phantom Spirit SE has worked great for me too. Thermalright really does make some solid coolers!
Yeah, that cooler should be just fine for the 7600X! It’s capable enough to keep temperatures in check, so you should be good to go!
It will do the job. Personally, I’d recommend getting a Peerless Assassin or something like that. Good cooling solutions can be useful for future upgrades too!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll check out the Phantom Spirit SE.
