Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE V2

An air cooler standing 160mm tall rated to dissipate 180W. That rating covers upper-midrange CPUs at stock and mild overclocks. Noise is specced at 29.5 dBA; socket compatibility spans AM5, AM4, LGA1700. At 160mm tall, verify case cooler clearance — mid-towers typically allow 160–170mm.

Expect to pay around $39.90, which lands it among budget options.
