Question RGB cooler for a Ryzen 5 3600.

[ingeborgdot]

I know the Ryzen 5 3600 runs cool, and I really don't need a great cooler, but I really want an RGB cooler for my board. I really thought the 3600 cooler was RGB, but I was wrong.
What is the best fitting option?
Is it best to go with a Wraith Prism? Or is there something that someone can recommend?
Thanks for the help.

Wraith Prism works well, and they are cheap on eBay. I'd do that.

This.

If you want to skip Ebay for whatever reason, I imagine there are even quite a few users here who went with aftermarket cooling, and who have one sitting in a closet unused.

I use a CM Hyper 212 RGB with my 3600. Overkill for sure, and it's pretty big. Cheaper than the Wraith Prism though. I switched it over from my i5 4670k.

Wraith Prism's are $20 to $25. ;-) Pretty cheap. And RGB like the OP wants.

Yep, I got one for cheap. Thanks.

CM 212 cost me $44 CDN ($33USD), the cheapest Wraith I can find is $60 CDN ($45USD), both new. Where did you get one for $25? I see them on Ebay for that, but then they add $30 shipping. They're actually more on the US Amazon and Newegg sites than they are here.

I got a Wraith for $25. Ebay, plus free shipping. I have Wiki and Honey on Amazon and they found it for me.

Ah, I see. That's almost $34 CDN, so about $10 cheaper for a used one I guess. It does sit flat, which is nicer, although I doubt the cooling is anywhere near the 212, but as indicated, it's not necessary as overclocking the Ryzen CPU's shows no benefit.

This was actually brand new and not used.
