Tested this against Big Schuriken 3RevB and AXP-100, and found AXP-120-X67 to perform the best. 0.5-1 degree lower temps than Big Schruriken, while being cheaper and more easily obtainable. Read more

The AXP90 is an amazing low profile CPU cooler and for the price it is completely unbeatable. Wherever you simply cannot use a tower cooler (because of height restrictions) or don't want to invest in an AIO, this cooler will suit your needs well. The Good: Cooling - For coolers with appropriate wattage, about 90W or below, the AXP90 will keep them cool, with the idle temps of lower draw chips, such as the Ryzen 5600G, being only slightly above ambient. Even running a full core workload at 100% the chip will be nowhere near thermal throttling. Noise - The fan used here, despite its size, is nearly silent. Even when almost completely open in the side of a Deskmini X300 I cannot hear it at all past a couple feet away from it; the fridge in the kitchen makes more ambient noise despite being half a house away. Price - I don't think you can get better for $23. Out the door for $25 with tax, having a low profile cooler be effective and quiet for less than half the cost of a competing Noctua option is enormous; I'd never pay twice the amount for something that can't do much better. The Bad: Mounting - The mounting, while being part of the nature of low profile options, is definitely tedious and you need to be prepared to replace the backplate to make this work. Unlike a lot of AM4 coolers which use the backplate already, this cannot. So be mindful of the order of assembly or you'll be forced to mount the cooler in-case behind a mess of wires (be real, you didn't cable manage)! Overall, I am very satisfied and would definitely recommend the AXP90 to anyone needing a low profile CPU cooler, limited budget or otherwise. Read more

Bought this for the fractal terra case alongside the ryzen 5700x, under full load it can keep it under 80c Read more

I needed a smallish simple to install cooler to use on my test bench occasionally and didn't want to spend a ton of money. Threw it on my i9-12900ks running the standard clock frequency with the power limits unlocked and my custom undervolt profile. To my surprise this little cooler performed better than I expected. For everyday tasks it was basically silent. Running Cinebench R23 with the fan at 100% was noticably louder but acceptable and kept the CPU from thermal throttling right away like some other coolers I have tried. While gaming the CPU stayed around 60-70c depending on the game and how hard it was pushing the CPU. I'm normally a custom water-cooling snob but I would have no problem using the cooler on a less extreme CPU. And for $26 this is now my favorite CPU cooler for under $30 dollars. Ironically enough, the Thermal Grizzly Graphine thermal pad I used with the cost almost as much as the whole cooler lol. Read more

Bought this to cool a Ryzen 5600 in an ITX case that doesn't have a lot of room for a cooler. It doesn't have a lot of airflow either, but that hasn't hindered its ability to cool the CPU. Granted, Ryzen 5's aren't known for being overheating monsters, but mine usually stays in the 70's unless under very heavy load, when it can creep into the low 80's briefly. I have never seen it throttle. The fan is pretty quiet as well. Installation is about as easy as any cooler (except for maybe the stock AMD cooler) can be. Just like with 90% of heatsinks and fans, you have to remove the brackets that come on your motherboard and replace them with the ones that come with this. After that, it's just two screws and clip on the fan and you're set. Thermalright has a reputation for excellent price to performance, and this is no exception. I have since bought another Thermalright air cooler for a micro ATX build and that one is also performing better than expectations. Read more

Good product, does everithing one can expect from the specs and description. The only issue is the LGA1700 backplate interferes with some surface mount components on the back of the ASUS ROG Strix B660-i gaming wifi motherboard i am using. Unpleasant, but nothing a few minutes with a file couldn't fix. Read more

I have this paired with a 13600KF and B760i motherboard. With a slight 0.150mv undervolt this can keep up with the insane demands of the 13600KF comfortably Read more

I am very happy with the product. Read more

given its size it is very capable fits in s400 V2 itx pc case (specs says up to 65 but 67 fits) Read more
