I'm looking for a budget-friendly cooler for my Ryzen 5 5600. I don't need anything extravagant—just a simple single fan cooler since prices for everything are kinda high where I live. Any recommendations?

The Thermalright Peerless Assassin is great for price-to-performance, but it's not a single fan solution. Just throwing it out there if you want to think about it!
You might want to look into the ID-Cooling Frozn A400 or the SE-214 XT. Both are solid coolers and can usually be found at a good price. Check them out on PCPartPicker!
If you're looking for something really affordable, check out the cheapest 120mm tower cooler from Thermalright. It should do the job without breaking the bank!
Honestly, the stock cooler that comes with the Ryzen should be fine, but if you can snag an extra fan for just a couple of bucks, that could help push more air too!
Thanks for that tip! I was considering the stock cooler; it’s nice to hear that's a viable option.
The Arctic Freezer 36 is another solid choice that pops up often. It balances performance and price well!
Yeah, that one's a beast! Definitely worth considering if you're okay with a dual fan setup.
