Hey everyone, I'm looking to upgrade my cooling solution for my AMD 5700X3D. Currently, I'm using the base AMD cooler, but I've been told it's not sufficient. What options do you recommend for keeping temperatures down, especially during heavy use?

Honestly, you don't need something extravagant, especially if you’re undervolting. I've got an old Be Quiet Pure Rock 2, and I get 35°C at idle, running around 65°C under load. Any decent tower cooler should do—Thermalright PS or PA may work best budget-wise for you.
I suggest going for the Thermalright Phantom Spirit; it's around $35 and works great for the 5700X3D. I've got one, and even with super quiet fans running at just 625RPM, my CPU stays cool—under 80°C at max load and around 60°C during gaming!
The Wraith Stealth isn’t going to cut it, but the Wraith Prism should manage fine if you already have it. I found a link to the ID-Cooling Frozn A620, priced at around 30 euros, which is decent as well!
That was like 50 euros here, but then I found it for 30! Just wish it delivered to my country.
If you don’t need a dual-tower cooler, I’m using the Thermalright Burst Assassin, and under heavy load, it never surpasses 75°C. It's reliable and relatively affordable at around 45 euros.
If you're looking at air coolers, the Peerless Assassin is a solid choice, just like others have mentioned. It's known for good performance across various CPUs.
Is this the one? It shows a price of 43. (link)
