Neptwin offers better results as a cooler at the same cost for a 3600mhz CL16. It became costly likely due to the Ryzen 3000 chip, which used to be around $80 for a kit now sits at $100 for a part picker. I’d prefer a 3200mhz CL16 instead. An airflow case with a mesh front would also work well; it keeps the same look. Prices for cases and power supplies are rising because of trade tensions, so you might reuse your existing case and PSU. The 660p model is a good value and includes a big cache to boost performance.

They were known for being noisy, but you can find quieter alternatives without breaking the bank.
Not particularly, you just want to find the biggest/fattest cooler for the lower price there's this one for $35 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/r3xfrH/...p0900csb01
