I'm looking for recommendations for a good cooler for my AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT. What are your thoughts?

If you're tight on space, go for the Thermalright Burst Assassin. But if you're okay with dual towers, the Peerless Assassin or Phantom Spirit is the way to go.
You really have a few good options:
- Noctua NH-D15 if you want flexibility.
- RGB 360 AIO if you're into flashy colors.
- Thermalright options for great cost efficiency—can't go wrong with those.
Honestly, the stock cooler is decent for normal use, but it might struggle under heavy loads. I recommend getting something like the Phantom Spirit if you're pushing your CPU.
Arctic Freezer 36 is solid! It comes with magnet clips, which I find really convenient. I got mine for just $30 during a sale and it works great!
You might want to check out the Thermalright Phantom Spirit. I've seen some great reviews on it, and it's said to perform even better than the Peerless Assassin I have on my 5800X3D. Plus, it can handle extra heat pipes really well!
Totally! I swapped out my old Hyper 212 for the Phantom Spirit, and the temperature drop was massive—about 10°C cooler!
Right? And if you're interested in the Phantom Spirit, make sure you pick the SE version for even better cooling!
Yeah, my 5800X hits 80°C with the PS120 stock cooler. I'd definitely upgrade if I were you.
