Pros: -Great price/performance -easy install -nice size -powered by motherboard

be quiet! PURE ROCK CPU Cooler - 150W TDP for Ryzen

be quiet! BK009 PURE ROCK CPU Cooler - 150W TDP

Pros: -great Price/performance -Ryzen ready! no need to order extra parts -great customer service -Yep, very quiet

Cons: -installation; Only a cross bar that holds everything down, no X pattern to evenly screw down. The rubber o-ring that keeps the brackets straight was a pain to install. The stock cooler has torque limited screws, wish this cooler had something similar.

Overall Review: This baby works, my temps drooped 10+ C degrees, I removed the included thermal compound and used Noctua NT-H1 Thermal Compound instead. It is top heavy, so if you plan to move you case around be very careful or remove. I thought I needed a AM4 kit, nope! it comes with these two L shape brackets that mount on the motherboard's original black cpu mount, hope you saved them when you installed the stock cooler. I wish it had a X pattern screw down but for the price you can't ask for more, overall I recommend this product and I'm very happy to deal with their customer service, they answer my emails very quickly.
