Review on Cooler Master Compact 95MmFan Technology by Walt Smirnoff

Revainrating 2 out of 5

No better than the stock cooler

I bought this to replace the stock Wraith cooler that came with my Ryzen 5 3600 because it was 93C during all basic operations (CPU mining). Security limit 95c. On this cooler, the temperature reached 95, so thermal throttling ensued. Not good. I even added another fan as I have several. None of the settings helped. Installation was bumpy and took much longer than it should have. The CPU kept sliding trying to lock the latch and the pressure I had to apply to lock the latch was a problem. Overall I would not recommend this cooler. Spend $10 more for a 4 or 5 heat pipe cooler. I did that and now the processor is running at 72c. You get what you pay for I guess. Stay healthy and have the best day you can.

Pros
