Hey all sifus, currently I am using stock cooler for my Ryzen 5 2600 and it's temperature is quite high.

Idle = 50 - 60°
Gaming = 60 - 70+°

I have done some research saying the temperature consider normal but I would like to buy a new cooler to let it chill abit. Budget around RM200.

My spec:
CPU : Ryzen 5 2600
Mobo : MSI B450M
RAM : 16gb 2666
PSU : Cooler Master Elite V3 500W
SDD : 1x Samsung 850 120gb / PNY CS900 200gb
GPU : Zotac gtx1060 6gb

Thanks in advance

70C is hardly alarming. Go for Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B at RM199 if you think less temp makes you feel better.

maybe try good thermal paste 1st... budget for cooler to go even lower then 70C will priced very high..

my advice get rm200 casing with more exhaust fans. its pointless trying to get lower cpu temp, its not easy to achieve with only cpu fans. if achievable by only a better cpu fans, AMD might have shipped with better fans and default overlocked higher speed to sell higher price

Budgeted: Scythe Mugen 5 or Cooler Master Hyper 212

How about casing? PSU top mount or bottom mount.
Casing fans sufficient? Suggest get 2 front fans + 1 rear fan + 1 top fan right above CPU cooler.

Need to know your overall setup, casing and fan placement. Better cooler won't help if your air intake is insufficient in the first place.

Hey guys, thanks for the advice.

Currently I am using segotep prime L matx casing.

2 fans at the front and 1 at the rear.

Currently I am using the free thermal paste that comes with the CPU. Any brand to suggest?

A cooler master hyper 212 for around rm100 or a scythe mugen 5 for around rm200 would be good for a ryzen 5 2600

Which one would you recommend bro? Is it the higher price one better

Yes Its has 6 heatpipes and bigger compared to 4 on the hyper 212 which will result in lower temperatures
its cooling perfomance is comparable to a 240mm AIO

but both is sufficient to cool a 2600

Thanks bro will get one soon

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut
OR Arctic Silver series

Nothing wrong with 70°C on R5 2600 with stock heatsink
If it's 80°C then you can start worrying

But I wouldn't advise against using a better heatsink either as that's still better than nothing

TS said he is getting 70c while gaming i think,
which can easily reach over 80 once under constant load such as rendering

TS said 60-70 while gaming.

to ts:
get two exhaust fan install on your casing top. its better investment. case fan very cheap.
your front two intake fan doesnt really help much, u can try put ur hand there feel the air, its hardly can reach to the cpu and gpu, which makes the two top exhaust fans more effective. u can even try move your current one intake to install on top exhaust near back there u should feel the different before considering buy anything

rm200 = mugen 5 rev

rm100+- = deepcool gammax 400 or gte if got extra.

hyper 212 is not worth the rm100 for the performance, its not even an EVO.

im using thermalright as120 plus (but using 1 fan coz its enuff), performance can on par with noctua u12s for mr130+- kek (this is coz u12s fan is crap, their heatsink is ok)

Thats normal temperature. No need to waste money trying to reduce 1/2 degrees

Normal temperature la bro.

But you can buy a 12cm tower cooler like ID Cooling SE-224 XT or Deepcool Gammaxx 400, less than RM100, the max temp will be around 70C also. I would use the Rm200 to get a bigger SSD lol

For RM200 you can consider Scythe FUMA2.

Comparable cooling and noise lower than Noctua D15 at half the price.
