Review on Enermax ETS-T50 Axe Addressable RGB CPU Cooler 230W+ TDP for Intel/AMD Universal Socket, 5 Direct Contact Heat Pipes, 120mm PWM Fan - White (ETS-T50A-W-ARGB) by Coby Hall

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Efficient cooler, yet quiet and beautiful.

I wanted a black and white design and this cooler was perfect for that. When I put the handbrake on for 20 minutes, my Ryzen 5600x never went above 78 degrees. The fan is barely noticeable, you have a stick, your head is next to your body to notice it. I only have to run the fan at 60% to get maximum cooling. For the same test, it didn't matter if the fan was at 60% or 100%, cooling efficiency was the same, a solid 78 degrees. This cooler is easy to assemble, and the fan cable and lighting cables are long enough. Installation was easy, using the backplate that comes with the motherboard. The RAM gap on my B550 MB is fine, I can use all 4 slots without any problems. Everything is white, it's not just a white plate on it and everything else is metal. The plate is white, the ribs are white, the mounting base is white. The only drawback is the fan. This is a 140mm fan, but its mounting points are designed for a 120mm fan, so replacing the fan will be difficult. I'm not sure if there are many 140mm fans with 120mm mounting holes. Considering how crazy PC parts are these days, $50 is a very good price for it. The Revain was badly damaged in transit due to poor packaging and was promptly returned.
