- Doesn't cause my CPU to overheat

Keeps all but the most demanding CPUs cool. If you aren't big on OCing, this is a solid option for getting your rig together. Ample documentation. Even a tube of thermal grease if you didn't have any.

Wanted to keep things simple and stick to air cooling. It is indeed quiet as the name suggests and no issues with keeping my 9900X CPU temperatures under control. The price was right.

Easy install Good temps for such a thin heat sink All black Cool Master duh

Lower temperatures

60c CPU temperature in a 94F environment for 3 hours!


I have a 5700x3d. This thing keeps it at super manageable temps, even on more CPU-heavy games. For the price this thing does its job very well.

The easiest cooler to assemble and install Fifteen minutes max. Brought down the Ryzen 5 5500 from stock cooler 70 degrees Centigrade down to 44 degrees Centigrade Motherboard was 42 degrees Centigrade with stock cooler. With the ThermalRight Asasssin v 120 2. The unbelievable motherboard temp was 25 degrees Centigrade. This is from Amati case

-Price -Easy to install (AMD 4/5) -Nearly as good as Noctua (1-2 degrees less) -Quiet

Great, it has a 270 watt tdp and it looks cool



- extremely affordable given its performance - solid build quality - very easy installation

Moderately Easy to install. Quality seems good. Small footprint and does not fight with your other components for space (especially RAM). Does the job of cooling the processor. Noticeable temp difference compared to the stock cooler on my cpu. Good price helps out for keeping costs low so you can put that $$ into your Video Card / Graphics Card or more RAM or storage.

It is kinda large but it cools my AMD 7800X3D cpu like a charm. Idles at 45C and gaming never goes above 72C. I definitely recommend this cooler. Easy connected to my Msi Tomahawk X870 motherboard.

- Probably the best air cooler you can buy. - Very Quiet - Just about reaches the glass of my case which is a compact ATX. Be Quiet! is certainly pushing the bounds of tolerances on this one.

on a full ATX motherboard it does not interfere with ram or gpu. it's quiet even at full speed. excellent cooling on an i7-11700K 125W cpu. preapplied thermal paste for easier 1st installation.

at 50% fan speed can hardly hear it, keeps my i7 6700k steady around 45 degrees under full load with gaming mode on(4.4 ghz)

I use the ryzen5 2600, the original fan, fully boost 4.0 But switched to Noctua NH-U12A Boost 4.2, comfortable running
