Review on 🌬️ MSI Core Frozr XL Cooling by Buddy Colbert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good cooler for my Ryzen 7 1700

Great performance and great looking cooler. I don't have any other MSI stuff in my laptop, but I love dragons and it's VERY hard to find a cooler with dragons on it, especially one that's fully AM4 compatible out of the box. The mounting solution is not difficult to figure out and seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the IHS. Temperatures are down at least 5 C compared to the still very good AMD Wraith Spire RGB that was included in the R7 1700. It may not sound like much, but often idle temperatures are now around 30C or below. And when gaming, the cooling works even better than the Spire, which is 10+ degrees cooler. Depending on the game, ambient temperature and the like. It also looks really good sitting proudly behind an acrylic screen in my black NZXT Noctis 450. The colorway of the upper logo is white with red in the middle. I changed the silver top to black. This matched the red and black lighting, which I like in my case, and the white paired well with the white logo on my EVGA GTX 1070 SC graphics card, which I received last September.
