replaced my noctua nh-l12x77 with this because it wouldn't fit my fractal terra with this cooler and man am i impressed. The cooling performance has been excellent on a ryzen 9800x3d with a -20 pbo. in cyberpunk at full blast im getting cpu temps in the 60's. A great cooler, happy with my purchase

It's doing it's job. Using it for my 9700x in my open case. CPU idles a bit high at around 50-65 degrees, but I've never seen it going over 80⁰ while gaming. I swapped the fan for a noctua one and it keeps it at 75° after many hours of CPU heavy gaming.Would wish it was a bit lower (like 70⁰) but overall it decent. Super easy installation.

Works exceptionally good. I'm able to run AMD Ryzen 9700x overclocked to 130W max power. It's pushing 90 C but works stable, no issues.

Hatte einen Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 Kühler auf einem AMD Ryzen 7 5700G mit einer sehr schlechten Kühlleistung in einem gut Belüftetem Kolink Rocket Heavy Vented, die zwar nach Abschleifen der Vernickelung etwas besser wurde doch der wahre Hugo ist das auch nicht.Dieser Kühler macht da mehr her und der große Lüfter lässt sich verschrauben der Scythe Kaze Flex 140 Round macht sich sehr gut darauf, M.2 Kühlung inklusive.Drahtklammern mögen für einige Hersteller der Heilige Grahl sein doch darüber hinaus taugen sie zu nichts als zur Gewinnmaximierung .Wer einen schönen durchdachten Kühler sucht der auch noch bezahlbar ist sollte bei diesem fündig werden

Works great!! Keeps cpu below temps with low fan noise.

So, yes, it works and works well. Compared to the Noctua NH-L9x65, I am getting much better idle temps - due to, I assume, more mass and a larger fan.However, the mounting instructions are poor - the short bars and long bars for AM4/AM5 are to allow 90 degree rotations of the cooler to ensure motherboard compatibility, in terms of RAM and VRM heatsink clearances. I can confirm it fits well on the ASUS ROG Strix B650E-I Mini ITX Motherboard in a Fractal Ridge case, if that helps anybody.

Very low profile. Very compact. Perfect for small form factor builds. I upgraded my CPU & Motherboard and decided to switch from water-cooling to air-cooling. I thought the temps would go up but surprisingly this small heatsink is about as efficient as my Corsair H-100 GTX. My temps are generally in the 30s/40s at idle and don't go above the mid 60s at load. It was easy to install and is working better than expected.

First off it’s a great cooler all things considered, it’s silent, has a great thermal capacity and is a very competitive form factor. Only problem I’ve had so far is the fan and that’s been after 4 months of constant use it gave out. The bearing began to leak oil and creak. It’s no big deal though replacements are easy/universal so it’s back to functioning like normal. Good cooler mid fan.

I have some experience with low profile CPU coolers, and decided to use this one for my most recent build thanks in part to a recommendation in a YouTube video. So far, I have been very impressed with the performance. I did a 3DMark stress test, and the temperatures were so low relative to what I was expecting that I thought there was a mistake. The maximum temperature was in the mid 60s, considerably lower than other builds I have tested with low profile coolers. It also runs quietly, its barely noticeable even under load. Thermal paste and a very useful screwdriver with a 90 degree angle were also included. At this point, I love this cooler and plan on using it for any small form factor builds in the future.

値段も安いし、67mmでヒートパイプ6本。冷却性能もスリムケース用にしては高いし、値段も安く、メモリ周りやVRMフェーズも風が当たるので、ロープロファイルのケースにはおすすめです。

First, the size. This cooler is very compact and fit snugly in my ITX motherboard (ASRock B550M-ITX/ac). You are given the option to orient the portion that has a bulk of the heat pipes in one of two configurations, and I was able to install it with no conflict to either my RAM or VRM heatsink. Installing the cooler was not difficult, the tools they provide are enough and the instructions are straightforward but kinda IKEA-ish so if you are having difficulty installing it you can find a youtube video that walks you through it (I did). I'm planning a small form factor build and momentarily installed this cooler in my micro-ATX case (Cooler master 300L) where I currently I have a Ryzen 7 5800x. This CPUs tend to run hot as it is, and I can definitely hear the fan kick in under full load, yet this cooler keeps it at a toasty 70C allowing me to maintain high clocks. I will say that high air turbulence negatively affects cooling in many cases. I saw this in my case (pun intended) which contributed to the higher fan noise, but changing the placement of my intake and outflow fans helped with both the cooling and the fan noise. Always make sure to not significantly disturb the flow of air exiting the cooler so that it can cool the heatsink with cooler air rather than recycled warmer air. The fact that the fan pulls air from the heatsink rather than blowing it down helps keep motherboard components cooler. If you are thinking of installing this cooler on an AMD system you should be adjusting your PBO settings in order to optimize your cooling as it is. This is a great buy for anyone making a compact system, just plan ahead and consider your airflow. I look forward to putting this to use in my Cooler Master NR2000 case.

This little cooler had proven QUITE effective in my use with a 7800X3D and 9800X3D. Both are on Xproto open-air frames, but the cooler easily handles both chips, keeping gaming temps 70C or below, and is nearly silent under any gaming load. The low-profile blends nicely into the Xproto design.The cooler comes with a multiple-direction mount for AMD so you can turn your cooling in the orientation to best suit your needs. Mounting it as I did the downdraft gives my VRMs a direct airflow and the orientation of the fins means the NVME drive gets solid air movement as well.If your board has too large of an I/O area cooler the various orientation options mean you can find an orientation that works for you with ANY motherboard.
