what is a good cooler for a ryzen 7 2700x?

[Konk]

its been a while since ive upgraded, i still have a amd fx 8350 and its starting to show its age. right now i have a Cooler Master Hyper D92 in my Case Sentey GS-6011 ATX Mid Tower Case. so i decided to finally start thinking about upgrading my cpu and i landed on the 2700x as a good replacement, but im not sure what a good cooler for it would be. my main issue is that i don't know what cooler could cool the cpu enough. i want to keep it under $100, and i prefer a fan (and i doubt any solid am4 water coolers can be found under 100).

do you guys have any suggestions?

The 2700x comes with a cooler in the box. The stock cooler is fine.

You are aware that you need a new motherboard for this CPU?

If you live near a Microcenter, the 3700x are $279 right now. At least the one by me it is.

You'd need new motherboard and ddr4 ram. The stock coolers are fine with Ryzen 5 and 7 series

And I'd suggest a new PSU as well if it's more then a few years old, or perhaps is cheap junk that shouldn't be used in the first place.

It comes with a decent stock cooler in box. You'll need a new motherboard and new RAM.

OP if you're only using the CPU for gaming and don't need 8 cores (6 is enough) then consider the Ryzen 5 3600.

there no special water coolers for AM4, they always work for all common plattforms as LGA-115X, LGA20-11/2011-v3, LGA 2066, AM3, AM4... YOu literally could take any cooler you like though a "water cooler" not in general will give you betetr eprformance. they look ncie but within that budget you can get high end air coolers that are betetr then usual AiO with exeption of quality 280+ AiO

yes, i already have a couple in mind.

3600 beats a 2700X anyways.

Look at...
Ryzen 3600
MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
2x 8gb ddr4 3200 Corsair LPX
At least one SSD
Your own usb flash drive, plug into a working PC that has Win7 64bit or later and make your own Win10 64bit usb media installer drive using MS media creation tool

how well does the stock cooler work, is it just something temporary until i find a better one?

and yes, i know, i already have a mb in mind. i also a 600 watt power supply, i got it cheap when i put my rig together, so. i checked on parts picker, i should be fine power-wise.

It's not temporary. It's a cooler that's actually good and you can keep.

The Wraith Prism that comes with the 2700X (and all Ryzen 3000 CPUs in the Ryzen 7 and 9 category) is more than enough. Not enough to overclock, but the OC headroom for most people is awful anyway unless you have a really good cooler and godlike silicon lottery RNG.

AMD actually cared enough to include decent quality coolers with their CPUs when it came to Ryzen, because Intel's stock cooler is among the absolute worst.

No point to OC Ryzen, it does that all on its own.

For Zen and Zen+, that is correct, but that's not the case with Zen2 because Precision Boost is still broken for Zen2. The voltages are outrageous, the clocks are nowhere near what people want them to be (due to how chiplets work with Zen2 architecture), and the temperatures are absolutely awful because of the voltages under any load. The CPU will end up throttling itself before it even tries to maintain advertised speeds under load.

Users of Ryzen 7 and 9 still complain about temperature with the stock cooler, even the 3700X which pulls less power than the 2700X and in theory should actually run cooler as a result.

After AGESA 1.0.0.4 B, Worktool is obsolete as Per CCX OC is an option in BIOS for Zen2 processors, and it enables the ability to get better clocks per CCX over PBO, lower temperatures due to lower voltage demand, and better performance than PBO is currently capable of. I've tested this myself, there's little reason not to run a Per CCX OC on Zen2 R7 and R9 chips.

Well people might not like the temps with the stock cooler, but it should not get to any point of throttling. I've tried a few Zen2 configs and generally didn't have any issues or super high temps. If don't like the stock cooler, buy a better one. It doesn't need to be expensive either.
