💡 How to pick a CPU cooler
What to look for:
  • TDP rating must exceed your CPU's TDP
  • Socket compatibility (AM5, LGA1851, etc.)
  • Fits within your case's cooler height limit
💰 Air coolers are reliable and quiet. AIO liquid coolers handle high-TDP CPUs best

★★★★★Quiet and proficient
I am using this cooler with an AMD 7900X CPU. Performance wise, it seems to be doing an excellent job. I do not overclock so I am certain I am not stress testing the maximum cooling abilities. However, for my needs, this CPU cooler fan work quite well. It is quiet during normal operation. My only issue came during installation. It was initially unclear to me how this fan mounts since the AM5 socket had threaded inserts. The provided screws did not go into the inserts but then I noticed smaller, longer screws that fed through the threaded inserts. That allowed to me to attach the cooler perfectly. I am quite satisfied with my purchase.

★★★★★the weight!
This is replacing a low profile cooler that was much larger, but weighed less. This thing feels like a brick and cools my 8700g pulling 87 watts in cinebench just fine for how small the cooler is. No mater what power level you chose in the bios you can end up thermal throttling at 100% cpu load but I expected that from such a tiny cpu cooler. Gaming and daily use it keeps temps in check and never throttles. Very happy with my purchase. if you need a cooler that is no taller than your ram, chose this.

★★★★★What more needs saying? Its Noctua
Put in a micro ATX case running a ryzen 5 9600. Silent and cool under heavy workloads. Noctua has been known for many many years as making the absolute top quality products and this is just like all of them: Top Quality and worth the price and piece of mind.

★★★★★Great for mini-itx build
I have always been a big Noctua fan. Great company, great product. My one beef with this is that the mounting is awkward and I had to take apart my whole computer to get it in. Works great.

★★★★★Pain to install
It has very good temps and it’s super quite but it was a pain to install because you have to flip it over then screw it in from behind
