Rysen 200X stock fan

[Devdeep]

For the Rysen 2700X, is the stock fan good enough for home video, browsing, some light gaming etc...? Otherwise, what would be a good fan under $100 mark please?

Corsair H45 liquid cooler. Price is around 50 USD in my country. It can sufficiently keep your cpu cool with overclocking. This liquid cooler is better than any air/liquid cooler in 100$ price range.
I have Corsair H115 also, H45 is around 8 to 9°C hotter than H115. But price is one third of H115.
I am using this on i7 6900K which is 200w at 4.2ghz. Temps are under 65°C. It can cool your Ryzen 2700X much better since your cpu is only 95W.

the stock cooler with the 2700x is fine for your listed usage. it is made by coolermaster and performs on par with the cm hyper212 series, which is the default good enough cooler for price/performance. cryorig performs similarly.

spending $50 will get you only a few more degrees improvement. spending a $100 on a noctua nh-d15 or nh-u12a will get you top air cooling and lower noise. but unless you are overclocking it isnt necessary.

AMD's stock HSF has been pretty decent in recent years and your 2700X's HSF is no exception.
If you want tower style cooler, I recommend you Deepcool Gammaxx 400 for its value or Noctua NH-U9S or NH-U12S for absolute cooling performance.

For stock settings, the included cooler is just fine. If you overclock it might not be. I am using the stock cooler on my 2600X and the temps are great.

The only reason I would get a better cooler for a 2700x is to let it boost higher for longer periods of time, assuming stock CPU settings. You will actually get more performance out of the chip if you keep temps low. That will stress motherboard VRMs a bit more and pull more power from the socket, so don't go that route unless you know your board and PSU can handle the extra load.

Of course if you are trying for a static-clock OC like 4.3 GHz, you will want the best cooling available within your budget. The 2700x will pull a lot of power at constant speeds higher than 4.0-4.1 GHz.

The stock cooler is surprisingly good if you do not overclock on the bleeding edge that is. I would most certainly recommend giving it a go and see how you find the noise and cooling levels of the stock cooler. Then either keep the stock cooler if satisfied or snipe a good deal on an aftermarket cooler, I can recommend the Gelid Phantom Black air cooler for about 35-40 euros, in terms of AIO a Cooler Master or Corsair with a 240 rad would do very well at your price point. For higher overclocks, a better motherboard is kinda a must though so also consider that.

The stock fan on the Ryzen 2700X is fine.
