In CPU Air Coolers

I liked it very much, they improved the installation for AMD systems based on AM4 and AM5.

This is very efficient

Works good enough.

Works great with Ryzen 9 7900; B650 Motherboard If I'm doing simple web browsing and office-like tasks temperature hovers right around 40 degrees C which is way better than the stock cooler which would keep it closer to 50 or higher, AND I can't hear it at all. It's spinning at 60% and it's almost silent. Best purchase ever. Some other things I like: - Comes with long screwdriver for installation - it's sexiii - doesn't even come close to obstructing my RAM sticks, could easily be fully loaded no problem (MSI B650 motherboard) - Everyone who sees it is jealous

I didn't want the added complexity and points-of-failure for an AIO so I took a chance on this air cooler. Works great on a Ryzen 7 9800X3d. And it's perfect in a Fractal Design R5 case which has a large opening in the side of the metal case for the GPU exhaust - none of the glass cases for me, I built a tool, not a work of art with all the glitzy flashing LEDs the kiddies like!

Runs beautifully for my budget build has zero problems gaming wise ( I mainly play rust which is a cpu heavy game)

Small and affective

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

- excellent cooling - easy to install - easy to clean - cools my 5950X and 3950X builds nicely sub 30 C

Good price to performance. Low temps and a bit overkill for my Ryzen 9 3900.

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

Cooler fits into a Lian Li A3 with no height issue. Its been years now that I've used a air cooler - for the past 5 pc builds throughout the years building gaming PC's I've used a AIO from different brands. I'll tell you now I'm shocked to say air coolers have gotten better. I forgot the benifits of a air cooler over a AIO setup. The fan noise is more bearable over the humming sound you get from fans pushing through a radiator. The operaing temps with 100% cpu usage seems to not throttle my build in any way. I am now convince to jump back into air cooler wagon. As long you do your research about the tdp of the cpu you have - finding a air cooler to handle it would be idea over getting a AIO as a cooling solution.

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

-Ran with a 5900X: Brought Cinebench r23 monitored Cpu heat down from about 84C (max 90) to 77C, preventing thermal throttling. Given the Cpu was running at full tilt in the test, this surely proves itself as a viable gaming cooler and then some. -Fans have RGB if you like lights

- Quiet - Doesn't interfere with the memory - RGB setup was pretty normal - Temperatures seem decent

This cooler is super quiet. Even with both fans installed in a Cooler Master HAF 932 case with more openings than you can shake a stick at, this is a quiet cooler. Installation was a snap. The instructions are quite good and all parts the fit very, very well. The included backplate and brackets sandwich the motherboard, secured with screws machined such that you really can't over-torque 'em - unless you manhandle the screwdriver like a gorilla. The heat pipe/fin assembly then screws to that - same deal, shouldered screws that fit precisely. It's an excellent, confidence-inspiring setup. Once installed, it's freakin' effective. Before adding drives, with the case open, my Core I7-8700K (stock clock) didn't exceed 33C during its initial burn-in. Stuffed with drives, case closed, 37C - and that's in Florida, air conditioning off, don't need it because the ambient temperature is a pleasant 31C (that's 88F). Yeah, only a two degree C difference. Not too shabby.

I had read comments that the fan came damaged - mine was in perfect condition. It arrived early even though it came from overseas. Super quiet too :) Took me some time to find a fan to fit my motherboard as I'm not very techy, so quite happy i have my pc back in working order :D

This is also my overall review, it's just pros. First, I am looking to cool my CPU for longevity and durability of the CPU and system, not for speed. That said: This ThermalRight air cooler is the best air cooler made, at least for what I've used so far. Understand it's 2 coolers, one for each half of your cpu and with 7 individual pipes to each heatsink, so it's 14 cooled pipes because the heatsinks are separate with a fan on each, but that's just for starters. But the big difference, the engineered design difference and you can see it for yourself, look at the photos of this cooler specifically the package contents photo. The cooler is pictured there on the upper left and no that's not a bad camera angle of the cooler. What you see there if you look closely is the pipes are longer to one side and offset to the center contact copper heatsink. When installing this cooler I'd strongly suggest you make sure to put that longer side up and have near that part of both coolers to draw and pull the heat off. This offset center with longer pipes is the huge, and I believe ultra significant, design difference. See when we place this cooler on the CPU it is on a flat horizontal surface. When this is tilted up the 90 degress it usually is in our tower cases, that angle up of the design on both heatsinks forces the heat to follow more to that side of the heatsink. the faster you pull off the heat the better as this design makes the heat rise more to that side of the heatsink, It's a law of physics heat pump essentially. This causes a higher volume of heat to be pulled off the CPU and by dissipation the lower (and slightly cooler) part of the heatsink and fins are actively transmitting the heat from that lower part to the upper part. It's ingenious in design and easily delivers the TDP of 270+ that this cooler is designed for. This ThermalRight cooler is absolutely perfect for my I7 14700KF. Browsing web temp: Around 30 Degrees C. Playing something graphics intensive, and temps averages 70-75 degrees, and never gets over 80. I had to fiddle with PWM a bit and make sure you look at the case fans to index them to the CPU temp and have them delivering cooler outside air at a faster rate than the 2 fans on this CPU cooler can take it in (i.e say 70% on CPU at 60 degrees Celsius, then make sure case fans supply at 75% at 55-60 degrees Celsius so cooler air is already in case before CPU hits 60 degrees Celsius). I must note, however, this cooler delivers even when you might not be good at adjusting the PWM fan controls. So if you're new or not really confident building a system, just make sure to get the cooler mount right on the CPU and I believe this cooler will deliver. CPU cools from 75C back down to 31C in less than 5 seconds. I used Arctic Cool 4x blah blah and usually use Ceramique so didn't expect this to be as responsive as it is. Oh and I lapped the heatsink up to 2000 grain polishing sandpaper. Beautiful discovery lapping this heatsink is the CPU surface contact heatsink is pure copper. I'll make it simple: Why spend $100+ on fluid cooling that has maintenance and still needs cleanup if you get a leak, when you can buy this ThermalRight heatsink for, at writing of review, $35 and know it will cool it perfectly through turbo temps of 5.6 ghz? And Tom's Hardware mentions the size of the cooler. I promise you it's bigger by maybe 20 cm but that the center offset makes it work out to be thinner on the video card side than a Master Cooler, which also means less heat transmission from the video card into the CPU. Also this cooler clears the curved up Corsair Vengeance DDR 5 RAM too. I hope this review helped you with your build and that if you choose this cooler you are as satisfied as I am or better. Thank you for your time.
