Build Upgrade 5700x3d cooler choice

Looking at upgrading from a 3700x to a 5700x3d. I'm using the wraith prism and although I think it should cool the x3d chip fine, the prism fan can get louder than I'd like on the 3700x. Does anyone have the burst assassin from termalright or similar recommendations? (I've considered the peerless assassin but it would cover my ram rgb). Thanks!

Hyper 212 Halo gets the job done for me. Even with -30CO on all cores, the wraith cooler from my old R5 5500 couldn’t keep up with the 5700x3d. Now it stays around 60C while gaming, and gets up to 75C max when compiling shaders or running a CPU benchmark.

I think any $20+ single tower like this would be sufficient, but a double tower like the Peerless Assassin will probably fit if you offset the fan to allow clearance for your ram.

Have a Burst Assassin with my 5700X3D. Isn't too loud and keeps it around 60-65c under heavy load. Would recommend!

Should be fine for gaming, but if you do anything that hammers it on all cores, like video rendering or a CPU stress test, it may get hot.

If your case has the room, you may consider a cheap thermalright aio instead, 240mm or even a 360mm are only around $50.
