This does cool down your CPU, but with some problems.

DEEPCOOL Assassin III CPU air cooler works fine. Depending on the load, I get CPU temperatures between 33°C and 60°C. On my Ryzan 7 5800 processor and MSI MEG X570 Unity motherboard. However, fans are an installation problem. You can place a fan in the middle of a large heatsink, but secure it with a wire clip. I was only able to mount a wire brace. Luckily, it seems to be held firmly in the center of the heatsink with just a wire brace. What happened to the screws or something more permanent? Second, the other fan is too big and doesn't fit on both sides of the radiator. It interferes with motherboard cables or gets stuck in memory. Neither of these are a working solution. So I had to use a fan in the middle. I had a Rosewill THOR V2-W White Edition Gaming ATX Full Tower computer case with a white LED and luckily the second fan fitted the bottom of the box like a glove. Desirable extra space on my full size fan box. So the second fan was not in vain. I'll update this post weeks later. The cooler runs well and is quiet even at full speed. The Ryzen 7 5800 is overclocked to 4275 MHz and runs stably at an acceptable temperature under all load levels. I recommend this cooler to anyone who has a box to match.

Pros
  • Keeping my Fists
Cons
