Hey everyone! I'm upgrading to a Ryzen 7 5700X3D and I need some recommendations for a solid CPU cooler. I've checked out a few options like the THERMALRIGHT Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB and the Deepcool AK620 ARGB White, but here's the thing: they cover my beautiful white RGB RAM sticks, and I really don't want to hide those. I'm not keen on AIOs since I find the tubes kind of ruin the look, and the decent 360 AIOs around here are pretty pricey.
What I'm after is a white, preferably ARGB air cooler that can adequately cool the 5700X3D without breaking the bank—ideally under $70-80.
I've come across these coolers:
1. ID-COOLING FROZN A410 ARGB WHITE
2. ID-COOLING FROZN A610 ARGB WHITE
3. ARCTIC Freezer 36 A-RGB White
Do any of these work well for gaming and video editing? I want real user insights, not just AI-generated info. Thanks in advance!

You might try flipping the fan on the cooler so it’s mounted on the back instead of the front. It’s a neat trick to keep your RAM visible while still getting good cooling! Also, how about checking out the Burst Assassin 120 Vision if you can find it?
That's a clever idea! I hadn't considered that. But I see your point—the bare cooler can look a bit odd without the fan. Plus, I just looked, and sadly, that Burst Assassin isn’t available in my area (Hungary).
