Hi All
I'm working on assembling a PC and would appreciate some guidance on a suitable cooler for overclocking. It should fit well within a compact case. My components include an MSI B450M PRO-VDH Micro-ATX, an AMD Ryzen 5 2600, G.SKILL Ripjaws Vseries RAM, and a Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti OC Low Profile 4GB graphics card. I'm open to both liquid and air coolers, but keeping costs low is important. Ideally, the cooler should operate quietly. Thank you in advance for your help.

Ehh, it's a shame they don't have AM4 brackets.
Then check out Thermalright AXP-100h-MUSCLE and AXP-100-RH at the links provided.

What model are you referring to?
I'm using a case I found at a car boot sale for very little money—it looks perfect. It doesn't show any brand name, and I haven't been able to recognize it from online pictures either. If it's useful, the dimensions are roughly 35cm (14") x 40cm (16") x 9.5cm (4").

Check the CPU cooler clearance in your case and see if it accommodates an AIO radiator. What dimensions should it be?

I've done a rough measurement as I haven't installed all the components as yet, and I reckon there is at least 7cms - 7.5cms (approx 3") from CPU to the side of the case.

SkyNetRising mentioned missing AM4 brackets and shared links to Thermalright AXP models. They also asked for opinions on the Noctua NH-L9A-AM4.
