Thermalright AXP-90 X53 Low Profile CPU Air Cooler with Quite 90mm TL-9015 PWM Fan, 4 Heat Pipes, 53mm Height, for AMD AM4/Intel LGA 1150/1151/1155/1851/1200 (AXP-90 X53)

I installed this cooler to replace the stock Intel cooler when I upgraded my CPU. So far it's keeping up with an Intel core i9 9900 just fine! The install was easy since I already had the motherboard removed. The cooler comes with basic instructions and a set of brackets that are compatible with a variety of CPU sockets. The kit also included some thermal paste.

Incase anyone is wondering, this cooler will cool and keep a 10600k at around 33-35 at idle, and the highest I've seen it reach in cinebench is 77 to 80. SUPER QUITE OPERATION. I do not overclock but my i5 was running with turbo. Some say it won't work but it 100% will. Cools better then the be-quite rock 3 tower cooler I had installed before. The 4 points of contact for the mounting surface is a plus as well. Looks great with blackout builds. Does sits pretty close if not flush against your ram if your running 4 sticks.

I bought the black low profile. This cooler is heaps better than the stock AMD stealth cooler. Smaller all around works way better. Installing it is not easy tho. If your motherboard is already mounted and your system is put together get ready to take everything apart it is not just drop in and screw down. If your building a new pc Installing this isn't that bad tbh but its def not the easiest. Also directions are trash. My cpu is an amd ryzen 5 5500 running a home server. I had the stock cooler installed with idle temps sitting at around 43 to 45 and running cinebench my cpu would thermal throttle. With this coller I dropped my idle temp to 34 to 36 and running cinebench never got over 73 c. So a massive massive improvement over stock. Honestly if your building out a new pc or home lab with an older cpu this cooler (i got the black one) Honestly is worth it for the 20$. That and Honestly its no louder than the stock amd cooler and runs at a higher rpm under load. My hd cooler fan is louder than this thing running at full speed and that's a 21$ noctua fan.

It's heavy for its size. I struggled to assemble it, but that was my own fault for being stubborn and not checking the instructions. It's a good cooler and maintains better temperatures than my stock heatsink.

It works fine if you let the fan at full speed. Then it keeps the cpu nice and cool. I just wished the price was 20 like the others. These do have a weird bracket setup as the 1700 brackets that came installed didn't actually fit my 1700 cpu. I had to use the second largest and that worked perfectly.
