I use it to cool an AMD Ryzen 7 5700x and it does the job well.
There's no need to say "Be Quiet!" It remains the benchmark in this field!
Purchased to replace the original cooler on a pre-built ASUS PC (2020) that had become very noisy over time.
The cooler is large and did not fit in my old case, which meant I also had to change the case.
Once properly installed in a suitable case, the difference is clear: temperatures are more stable and, above all, noise is greatly reduced, even under load.
The fans are quiet and the airflow is well distributed thanks to the double tower.
Check before purchasing: available height in the case.
A very good choice if the main objective is silence without switching to water cooling.
No worries, good product and not disappointed with my purchase. Thank you LDLC for your professionalism and for tracking my order.
The shop assistant gave me excellent advice and made me want to come back to the shop.
Thank you.
Ordered to keep a 12700K cool with the requirement to remain as quiet as possible.
