Rosewill Long Life Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler, 92mm PWM Cooling Fan, 3 Direct Contact CPU Heatsink Pipes, Supports Intel i3/i5/i7 CPU Socket LGA 775/1366/1150/1151/1155/1156 & AMD CPU - ROCC-16003

Pros: - Comes with motherboard bracket for AM4 processer (mine is Ryzen 3600XT). But I used the
original brackets on the motherboard. They fit perfect and appear to be as strong or
stronger as the one shipped with.
- Flexible mounting clip can be rotated 180 degrees for clearance for easier mounting taking
two screws out and rotating the bracket.
- That said, it is an easy mount
- I have used these before and like them. I only wanted a small reduction in temperatures.
That is why I opted for the 3 heat pipes.

Cons: - Only one thumb tab for mounting. So you need to hook the first clip, which does not have a
thumb tab to the bracket by tipping the cooler assembly. It is easy.
- Be really careful how you hold the unit while assembling, and fastening spring clips. The
fins are thin. I had to bend a couple fins back after I held it too hard.
- Just my personal preference, but I liked using the original motherboard cooler brackets
because they use metal screws. This cooler comes with push pin bracket screws which are
plastic clips for holding. I thought the spring is pretty stiff for long term holding of the
bracket with plastic clips. Being a product engineer for 45 years, I opted to use the metal
screws.

Overall Review: Brought my CPU temps down from 80c to 72c at 72F ambient temperature during 2 hour hard gaming session. I was not looking for a big change. CPU idles at 35c - 45c. If you are looking for bigger reduction I would look at a 4 - 6 heat pipe design. But I remember a few years back they warned against cooling a chip to far below it's design temperature. It effects performance.

Has a nice tower design with the fin thickness and spacing. Be careful not to bend the fins while you are holding to mount the cooler and fasten the clips. Takes a little pressure, but it is needed to clip it in place.

I used silver thermo paste on the processer and cooler to get the temperature results mentioned above.

The spring clips for mounting are strong and firm to hold the to the chip. Good hold help when your mother board is in a tower case and cooler is at 90 deg from floor.

I like these tower cooler style because I like getting heat away from the motherboard and the components around the CPU like ram. The downdraft coolers that come with many CPU blow the heat downward and about the CPU. The tower channels the heat upward through the copper tubes and the fan blows the heat toward the back case fan and out the back. Whole system is cooler by getting CPU/Motherboard heat up and out.

Pros: Was on sale cheap

Cons: 3 of the copper tube tips are bent and smashed and the clip to hold it in place on 1 side is bent and barely holds it very flimsy build

Overall Review: None
