Hey everyone! I'm putting together a new PC build and need your help in finding a cooling system, preferably fans. Here are my specs:
- Graphics Card: RTX 3060
- Power Supply: 1000W
- CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
- Motherboard: Asus B550plus
- RAM: G.Skill 2x 32GB sticks
- Case: AeroCool Prime RGB Mid Tower (black)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Honestly, I'm curious why you chose a 1000W power supply for this setup. You could easily get away with a decent 550W. Also, a cooler like the Thermalright AX120, which is super affordable at around $15, would work perfectly here.
The Aerocool Prime can handle CPU coolers up to 159mm tall, but I’d recommend going for a cooler around 155mm for safety. Thermalright coolers are a solid choice right now, and since the Ryzen 5 5600x doesn’t run too hot, pretty much any good cooler should work. Check out this link for recommendations on coolers: [Thermalright CPU Coolers](https://pcpartpicker.com/products/cpu-cooler/#m=113&H=135000000,155000000&sort=price&page=1).
It really depends on how much you want to spend, but I’d recommend the Thermalright Peerless Assassin for about $35 or the Thermalright Assassin X, which is closer to $18. Both are great options!
I didn't choose the PSU myself, it was from my dad's old setup. But I appreciate the suggestion, I'll check out the AX120!
