Picking the right air cooler

Question

I'd like some ideas on getting a new cpu cooler to replace the stock cooler that came with my cpu.

Here are the stats:
1) Motherboard - 2024 MSI MAG B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI
2) CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6 Core AM5 5.3GHz CPU
3) Case - SilverStone Fara R1 Pro V2 Tempered Glass ATX Case

Any suggestions?

Many coolers come with thermal paste pre-applied or include a tube. For best performance, you can use a high-quality thermal compound like Arctic MX-4 or Noctua NT-H1.

Both can work well; air coolers tend to be more straightforward and reliable, while AIO liquid coolers can offer better thermals for overclocking or quieter operation.
