ID-COOLING SE-214-XT Black CPU Cooler All-Black Layout, 4 Direct-Contact Heat Pipes, 120mm PWM Fan, Noninterference with RAM, TDP 180W, Work with Intel LGA1700/1851/1200/115X and AMD AM5/AM4 Sockets

Pretty much what the summary says, I'm running a Ryzen 5 5600 in a stock ATX chassis and it keeps my processor nice and cool without a lot of fuss or noise. Installation was pretty easy, I just wish the heatsink attached to the rail standoffs a bit easier, I had a hard time with alignment between the heatsink itself and the provided standoff rails. And I say that as someone who's taken hundreds of computers apart in their day. But once it was on, the fan attached with the included clips pretty easily, just be aware of cable routing. As for size, it's big. it goes all the way from the motherboard to right to the chassis edge in terms of height. I thought for sure it wasn't going to fit my case but it just barely stays below the edge. Through all that though it keeps my processor nice and cool no matter what I'm doing. No thermal issues, no high fan speeds to report. I've been using my system normally to heavy for about 2 weeks now after installation and everything is as it should be. For an inexpensive heatsink it does the job perfectly.

Worked perfect for my CPU upgrade - handles the heat easily and fan noise isn’t noticeable under heavy loads. Seems pretty durable and quality even at the price. I definitely would recommend if you’re looking for a CPU cooler upgrade at an affordable price.

I very rarely leave a product review, Never mind a five star Review, but this cooler lowered my CPU temperature a solid 10 degrees which I most definitely did not expect from a standard $17 cooler. That being said, It will only fit a full size computer case not a micro, I like to think they just put it in small print Somewhere, I will include pictures of what I had to do to my case to make it fit, but after seeing the cooling Numbers, it Is well worth it.

I installed this cooler on an Asus B560 Plus mainboard with an Intel I5 processor. You can't argue with the price, and the overall quality seems to be very good as well. The cooler seems to be working well to keep my CPU cool, and it is very quiet. This cooler replaces the original Intel OEM CPU fan that came with the CPU. Using the OEM cooler, the CPU started overheating. I originally installed this cooler where it was incorrectly positioned over the last memory bank, so I repositioned and reinstalled the mounting brackets, positioning the fan facing towards the back of the PC. There is no interference with any of the memory banks. So far so good. UPDATE: After running this cooler for a few weeks, I have got to say, I am impressed. CPU stays much cooler and the cooling fan remains very quiet. I have built a lot of PC's over the years, and this cooler is absolutely one of the best. At this price it is a fantastic bargain.

Reasonable performance for a reasonable price. Not going to win any contests but great if you're limited by case height. For a little more cash there are far better options but most are taller. For daily use and light gaming on cooler chips this is more than enough and def beats out cheap stock coolers. Fan isn't quiet but it's not obnoxious. Mounting hardware was easy to install. Get some MX7 thermal paste and this will do for 65W chips.
