Hi, I am soon buying a 5700X or 5800X which I don't plan to OC.
My budget is around 40-50 euros max. In this price I can find the following ones:

Be Quiet Pure Rock 2 - 46 euros
AF 34 eSports Duo - 50 euros
Enermax T50 Axe Silent - 47 euros
Deepcool Gammaxx GTE V2 - 45 euros

Should I buy any of these or another one? I don't care about RGB/colors and its height must not exceed 17cm (my case is Corsair 300R).

Thanks!

How much is a Scythe Mugen 5 in Greece and can you find that one?

You forget about shipping to Greece unless the shipping is free

The Pure Rock 2 has my vote, mostly since I run one too. Definitely up to the task for the 5800X no problem. Anything that works for the 5800X will also casually handle a 5700X, since it has a lower TDP.

Hey, thanks everyone for the replies!

I didn't specify it, but I meant that shipping is included in the budget, thus ordering from amazon is quite a problem because every cooler has a shipping cost of ~12 euros + VAT difference (19% DE vs 24% GR).
So I think that unless a good deal appears during BF/Weekend I'll buy Pure Rock 2 on Monday.

Another vote for Scythe Mugen 5 if it's similar price as Pure Rock 2.

The Be Quiet cooler is your best choice from that list. If you have amazon available though I would recommend the Assassin King by Thermalright. Shouldn't cost more than 25 euros and it has excellent performance and a quiet included fan. The 5800X requires better cooling than the 5700X because it draws more power. Arguably for a gaming machine the 5700X is fine and you can save money on both the CPU and CPU cooler that way. I have a 5700X for gaming and it runs great. Another very attractive looking relatively quiet cooler you might want to consider on amazon is the DeepCool AK400 but the Assassin king and the Be Quiet DR2 are arguably better and don't pay more than 30 euros for the AK400 it just looks really nice. But ya if you want to buy from your local shop get that be quiet cooler. They're very silent and good quality units.

Is there an Amazon site you can order from. Amazon sites usually have several Thermalright coolers listed. Maybe you can buy from Amazon Germany (amazon.de). Amazon.de has Thermalright BA120 (6x 6mm heatpipe 120mm fan cooler) for €28.00. Not sure what delivery costs would be.

For us to select coolers that will fit in your build it would help if we know what case, motherboard, RAM, etc. you are using.

I like using coolers with more heatpipes and often bigger fin areas because they keep CPU cool quietly with lower fan speed .. Lower fan speed means less noise. ;)
