The copper heat sink is about as good as it gets, but you are going to want to slap a better fan on it. I replaced the stock fan with an equivalent Noctua, which ran cooler and quieter.

Needed it desperately so did not return, but this is horrid receiving a 2nd hand product, obvious solder on the pipes there...

The old heatsink wasnt cutting it when i switched out the motherboard and the old I3 for an I7-4790. It ran entirely too hot and the fan was very loud. I tried one of the premium coolers but it was too big for my case. I ordered this because it was one of the cheaper options, plus the low profile was perfect for my mATX case. My processor tops at 60*c under load now. Its honestly a top-notch cooler that's not insanely priced. The fan is super quiet, too! Even under load its barely noticeable, and its speed controllable via 4-pin connection. Fan Control program reads the RPMs.My only complaints are, one, the instructions aren't very clear. Its just tiny pictures and some vague broken-English instructions. If you're tech savvy or computer literate, it'll take you 5min to figure out what they want you to do. The actual brackets are labeled 115x/1700/amd.Secondly, the thermal paste is unlike any I've used. Its not bad, it works well! It doesn't smear easily like most pastes. Its hard to describe but it likes to stick to itself. Using the tip of the dispenser as a tool was useless, there's a little ridge around the tip and the rest of the bottle so the paste just kept connecting itself back to the tip and pushed into the gap. It wants to stick to itself and not so much anything else. Little finicky to work with, but its does work well.Very happy with it.

This is a cheap and effective small form factor cooler. I have it on an i7-13400 in a Fractal Terra case, and it works perfectly. The install was easy, and it came setup out of the box for this CPU socket (LGA1700) with adapters for others.In gaming with my fan tunings it's perfectly quiet with temps in the high 60s. It's inaudible up to about 75% speed. Stress tested with tweaked BIOS to run it in turbo mode constantly (sits at about 95W in prime95) I can get it up to 100% fan speed (low level audible) at 80C. Given all of this, I would try to limit it to 65W CPUs, but I would try to limit all SFF builds to 65W CPUs for noise and thermals.Yes, it is hideously orange.

So the instructions werent very clear but picture wise i figured it out also includes thermalpaste which is a blessing over all preformance its average works great on a 5700x3D for sure temps while gaming are 60⁰c-75⁰c the over all look of the cooler is great for small builds noise level wise its pretty quiet for such a small 92mm fan

I’ve done a great deal of research for CPU coolers strictly under 50mm for a few years and this is the best one I’ve ever seen. And Im talking about the Full Copper version specifically.For context I’ve previously I’ve owned an Alpenfohn Black Ridge and while cooling was great and was a top performer for its time, its fan was too loud being too close to the heatsink and causing turbulence. Putting the fan on top of the Ridge heatsink would be much quieter but would just increase the total height to 62mm+ which is definitely not ideal for me. Not only that, the heatsink is too massive so cool air doesn’t even pass through all its fins when using a 92mm fan. And because it’s so big I dont even have access to M.2 drives and Ram. Anyway I had too many problems with this that I realize it’s not good enough to be one of the most effective coolers.Now with the Thermalright AXP90 X47 Full Copper, it performs slightly better (making it the best performing 47mm cooler from all the tests I’ve seen despite it’s much smaller heatsink), is much quieter, easy to assemble, and is so much smaller. My cpu stays at around 70-80C at max load, no turbulence because of the fan on top of the heatsink rather than under, and I can easily get access to my M.2 drive and ram sticks. Also the horizontal heatsink fins allow for hot air to make its way to exhaust through the front and back of my vertical case with almost no obstruction, rather than the bottom and top. This may be one of the reason this cpu cooler is more effective than the much larger Black Ridge.One thing I don’t like is the color of the fan it comes with, so I replaced it with a ID-COOLING TF-9215 ARGB Case Fan 15mm (which is about as quiet and effective as a Noctua NF-A9 if not better). Keep in mind, I’ve heard of reports that the original ugly fan may actually be the best fan for this specific heatsink design, but I haven’t tested this myself.

Bought this for cooling an old Intel 4470K in a 4U rack mounted case.Fits just fine, but the mounting screws don't have any sort of springs in them, so you can easily overtighten, or (just as bad) tighten unevenly on the processor. Both mean you could easily crack the processor, or damage the motherboard.Also tried on LGA1200 and LGA1700 processors, and sadly, just the same.If you want something that does the job, look at a Coolerguys unit instead.

Excelente alternativa para un 13400 en un gabinete Fractal Terra. Mantiene buenas temperaturas y no he tenido problemas de rendimiento debido a sobrecalentamiento.100% recomendado.

This is a peculiar cooler. It can cool lower heath loads well and basically silent (up to about 44W actual) , be on par with other coolers at low moderate loads (between 46W and 56W), but would hit a wall and cooling performance would drop fast above that, and would be basically useless at anything above 65W (electrical). This means you need to keep your ryzens neutered via cTDP/low PPT PBO, but it makes for a good practically silent cooler. Usually on "65w" (actually 88w) ryzen you will retain about 90% of the full performance at 45W while full performance will be using anywhere from 65w to 82W. Thermalright does not publish TDP recommendation in the cooler spec, so I would say 65W is tops this one can do.The instructions in the box are bad, at least for the AM4 part. The mounting is with brackets that you screw into the cold plate, then you attach threaded studs to the brackets that go through the motherboard and secure with nuts in the back side. They do provide a backplate, which for AM4 you have no reason to use if you have the original from the motherboard. The studs are thin and pass via the stock AM4 backplate screw holes just fine and even the short studs (despite manual saying to use the long) have enough thread to be used with the AM4 backplate.The mounting direction on AM4 isn't good - the air flows into the back of the GPU heating it up and transferring heath though the solder into chips if the GPU lacks a backplate. Also, the board VRMs receive zero cooling with this cooler as the airflow is directed perpendicular to the VRMs and worst of all - there is a solid sidewall.Keeping all this in mind there are still use cases where the cooler is practically useful.
