I'm looking for a CPU cooler for my AMD 5800XT, and I have a budget between $30 and $50. If anyone has suggestions, that would be super helpful! Just for context, I'm using an MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI ATX motherboard and a Montech AIR 903 MAX ATX Mid Tower Case.

Don't sleep on the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120—it’s considered the best budget cooler out there. It’s just an all-around awesome cooler, not just for the price segment.
You should definitely check out the Thermalright Phantom or the Assassin! They're both solid dual fan tower coolers within your budget.
The Thermalright Assassin King 120 is a great choice as it works well with AM4 sockets and it's just $20 on Amazon. You can't beat that price for decent cooling!
That's a fantastic price! Is the performance really good for the $20?
Yeah, I've heard a lot about those! I'm curious though, which one do you think performs better?
