I highly recommend the Noctua NH-U12S cooler. It offers excellent performance in a compact 120mm design, ensuring compatibility with most setups. The quiet NF-F12 fan and efficient heatsink keep temperatures low even under load. Installation is easy with the SecuFirm2 mounting system, compatible with AM5 sockets. Noctua's build quality and 6-year warranty provide reliability. The NH-U12S strikes a perfect balance of cooling performance, size, and noise for the 7600X.

For the Ryzen 5 7600X, I'd highly recommend the Noctua NH-D15. It's a top-tier air cooler with excellent cooling performance that can handle even high-end CPUs. A few key benefits:

• Dual 140mm fans provide outstanding heat dissipation
• Very quiet operation even under load
• Easy to install with the SecuFirm2 mounting system
• 6-year manufacturer's warranty

I've used the NH-D15 on several Ryzen builds and have been extremely impressed. It keeps temps low and runs virtually silent. Well worth the price for a premium air cooling solution.

If you want a top performing air cooler for the 7600X without spending a ton, I highly recommend checking out the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU Cooler. For its affordable price, it delivers exceptional cooling on par with more expensive options. The massive dual tower design, six heat pipes, and quiet 120mm fans tame the 7600X with ease. It's also easy to install and has great compatibility.

I use the be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5 Quiet Cooling CPU Cooler. Quiet and cool

An affordable 120mm tower cooler in the $30-40 USD price range would be more than adequate.
