Like the title suggests, I’m looking for a better AM4 cooler than stock. It seems there are many big tower coolers out there, but my case limits me to something under 140mm in z-height. I also have taller heatsinks on my DDR4, which makes side clearance a potential issue—unless I could just remove those heatsinks? Anyway, I just have a Ryzen 2400G, but things like encoding make temps ramp into the 80Cs, and I panick and stop the encode, and I’m sure throttling is not far behind. Anyone have a good suggestion? I read reviews and it seems like every cooler I pick has complaints. I also wasn’t sure if I had to make sure the cooler was listed as AM4 ready. My board does have the retention clip.
I was looking closer at a couple be quiet! models, the Shadow Rock Slim and Shadow Rock LP, and also the Arctic Freezer 12. Any thoughts?
Edit:
Here’s my case, a Thermaltake Core V1 —restricted to 140mm height.
Thanks!
