The stock coolers pretty nice. If I can't get a good OC with that I was looking at a few larger AM4 heatsinks on amazon or considering a closed loop liquid cooler. My desk has pretty good airflow (4 front intake fans, 1 large rear radiator output with a fan on inside and one on outside also, and 2 smaller outtake fans) so I should have less issues but we'll see :)
AM4 Noctua coolers are nice but pricey. There were a couple other brands (air cooling) that looked decent for $29-39 on amazon lopaka On Tue, Apr 18, 2017 at 8:03 AM, Jason Chue <[email protected]> wrote: > Nice.
