I'm currently selecting components for my new PC build and want to know if this cooling solution is sufficient for my Ryzen 5 9600X CPU. Here's the link to the cooler I'm considering: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJBZXVGY?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

Absolutely, this cooler should be more than enough given that your CPU has a 65W TDP and typically runs around 88W on the rated PPT. It’s pretty entry-level in terms of heat production.
If you want a bit more cooling power, you might consider spending a few extra bucks on a dual tower cooler instead. Here's a link for one I found: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DMVVK2YT.
That CPU has a low power draw of just 65W, so it doesn't need heavy-duty cooling. This cooler will do just fine for your needs.
Make sure you don't overpay for this cooler. It's best not to spend more than $15 on it.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check that out.
