I'm throwing together a cheap Ryzen build for a second gaming system and found a decent deal on a Ryzen 1600X combo with the CPU, Asrock X370 motherboard, and 16 GB of DDR4-3000 RAM. I debated between hard between the 1500 and 1600 series of CPU but decided the 1600X would probably be a better long-term decision.
Anyway, I'm looking for a low-profile cooler for this CPU. I have an old Antec Tenor desktop case I'm going to likely use and I probably would be OK keeping it at stock clock speeds or maybe a slight overclock. Any recommendations on a good AM4 cooler? I'm hoping to keep it under $30; if push comes to shove I guess I could scrounge up a mini-tower if there aren't any good low profile coolers available and go with something like the CM Hyper Evo 212.
