cheap Aftermarket coolers

[Nil_Skrzypczak]

I want to overclock my cpu and gpu. I have a Ryzen 3 3200g cpu paired with a Radeon rx 570gpu on a GA-a320m-sh2 motherboard. What are some super cheap aftermarket cooler options for my setup?

Hello

What is your budget for a cheap cooler?

[Nil_Skrzypczak]

Essentially id like to spend the least amount of money possible to unlock overclocking capabilities. Id say my budget is no more than 40

I regard the two outcomes as mutually exclusive.
That is overclocking and a budget.
You are wanting to push components past their normal use but want to spend the bare minimum to do so.
Whereas I would be suggesting spending whatever it takes, within sense of course, to get the job done.
With computing, the adage ‘you get what you pay for’ usually rings true.

Any updates?

I decided with the Noctua NH-L9i, simply because its the most compact and im using a micro atx motherboard. Its working well, im getting good temps while overclocking to 4.1 gHz, never going over 85 degrees

I consider 85 to be on the high side myself.
mine sits around 40 on idle and in the 50’s under load.
but I guess you do have it overclocked.
still, I’d like to see that 85 came down by at least 10 myself.

85 is pretty high, but its a very low profile cooler and its overclocked, so 85 is a pretty safe temp

no worries.
could always invest in better/more chassis fans if it turns out to be an issue.
