-I don't think I'll ever overheat my CPU -it's quiet
This is very efficient
-Cheap (got it on sale for 16 bucks!) -Effective if you dont want to overclock or have one of the chips that run hot. Aesthetics are nice
- Super Quiet - Easy Install - Excellent Packaging - Price - Looks
Works good keeps my 7800x3d around 70c in warzone 2.
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.
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.

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.
Cheaper than a AIO Easy to install Thermal paste that it comes with is amazing Quiet fans! Easy to clean if youre like me and dont use dust filters and clean your system every few months
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.
-Price -Easy to install (AMD 4/5) -Nearly as good as Noctua (1-2 degrees less) -Quiet
60c CPU temperature in a 94F environment for 3 hours!
