have used this cooler on a number of builds. Easy to install and performs well. Excellent value at its price point.
Cheap Easy to install Works great no issues found comes with different brackets depending on your CPU model.
This cooler is big, but for a reason ... It works! Easy setup .... excellent manual included Keeps CPU incredibly cool when gaming is hot Well engineered, well constructed Active fan aids heat draw, and eliminating Excellent thermal paste works great
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.

+ Install was very easy on AM5 Platform + Kept the 7800X3D at factory settings 77c on a 1.5HR Prime95 Torture Test + Kept the 7800X3D at factory settings 57c on a 20 Pass 3DMark Steel Nomad stress test + Top of the cooler is magnetic, which is a nice touch.
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.

- Easy modern mounting for AM5 - Good even contact - Great temperatures - Idle 35c / Prim95 60c / Peak 69c - Looks good - Good build quality - I think the fans sound fine, at high loads they ramp up and get louder, but its a smooth sound without any annoying hub whine or other jarring fan sounds. - Includes a fan splitter & speed switch for High 2000+ RPM, PWM default, and low 1800 RPM settings. I left mine on default PWM motherboard controlled. - Premium packaging materials and unboxing experience
Excellent Air Cooler A+ build quality Versatile, supports LGA 1700, AM4, AM5 My i5 never goes past 64c full load.
Great, it has a 270 watt tdp and it looks cool
- excellent cooling - easy to install - easy to clean - cools my 5950X and 3950X builds nicely sub 30 C
60c CPU temperature in a 94F environment for 3 hours!
Solid feeling heatsink build quality. Easy installation considering the dual stack push pull configuration. Allows room for RAM swap and a bit of clearance from side of case for airflow. Excellent temps with 5 Fractal case fans (2 front, 1 front floor, 1 rear, 1 above, 140's) at virtually silent speeds at idle. Fractal Meshify case 65-75 max degrees under gaming load, typically 55ish and fans on 75%, so I still have headroom on my 7900X if I wanted quieter or cooler but nothing my headset can't insulate against and tolerable db without one. Ended up with white RGB option due to sale, very nice for smoked glass sided case to glow against a nearby wall for some ambience and coordinates with other compatible RGB components well.
Simple to install, only 4 screws Tool included
-Price -Easy to install (AMD 4/5) -Nearly as good as Noctua (1-2 degrees less) -Quiet

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.
-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
Awesome air flow and Looks awesome. Second 140mm fan that comes with is pretty much over kill. Works amazing for 8700k builds
