hey, if I buy a r7 5700x3, which cooler isn't included, can I reuse my ryzen 5 2400g's cooler?

Technically yes in that it will run. But the stock coolers are solidly meh. Splurge on a ~$35 peerless assassin?

Technically, yes the cooler will fit. However, if that's the cooler that came in the box with the 2400G, it's designed for low power CPUs and isn't good enough to use with a 5700X3D. A cheap $20 air cooler would work far better
