In CPU Air Coolers

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.

Simple to install, only 4 screws Tool included

No maintenance if you incorporate Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet, standard fans for inexpensive replacement. 78C peak max load temperature on a 7800X3D.

Easy to install

Keeps my (non-overclocked) i7 at <40C when plugged into motherboard pinout, typically running very quietly about 700 RPM. And the lights are pretty when plugged into the motherboard controller. Assembled and secured to CPU without damaging MB or blocking RAM slots

- 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.

Drop my computer temperature from idling at 90C(bad stock CPU fan) to idling at around 40C after installation. it also includes a tube of thermal paste in it.

The unit came with LGA 1700 brackets which I needed for my new build. It also has a cable splitter to connect both fans to a single CPU fan socket on the mobo. It is extremely quiet, can't really hear the fans. I've not stressed tested the build so can't speak to efficiency but it is cool to the touch even after some hours of benchtop burn-in time.

It has a nice screw system that means it'll be easy to remove and reattach. Also, it came with a smear of thermal paste!

Comes with thermal paste, has an argb connector, and if you dont have an argb header on your mobo then there is one that comes with it so it can still light up like a Christmas tree

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

This protective fitting for keeping your am5 nice and clean from to much thermal material smooshing out. These are high quality buckles, nothing cheap here just low price item with everything you need to mount. EN-LABS has always been my go to for quality bits and pieces.

Keeps my Ryzen 9 7900 around 40 at idle, and so far nothing over 55(C). Of course, this isn't a gaming machine, rather a media server. Larger than I'd expected, but it fit just fine in my Fractal Node 804. Runs very quietly, too.

Very efficient cooling. Product received on a very timely basis.

Top-Tier Price to Performance. Easily handles stress testing for 6 Core CPUs Super easy install for Intel and AMD AM4/AM5

Fits the socket 1200 motherboard perfectly. Provides nice illumination while cooling the operation of the processor.

It has pre-applied thermal paste. Comes with the mounting things for both AM5 and LGA. The fan lights are customizable. It was pretty easy to install.

Once figured out how to put fan hooks on and latch em to the heat sink then installing moved along nicely. Temps seem to stay 30's idle 50-60c when gaming. Great heat sink for price, slightly bulky so yeah if dont got decent room in case that may be a problem.

Installation instructions are clear and simple enough Good cable lengths to reach the MB CPU fan headers Includes thermal paste So far it is able to keep up with my CPU's head (AMD Ryzen 7 9700X) with no issues
