The best thing for the money, I'm glad I chose this option.

In my opinion, it's the best deal out there! It cost me 900 dollars, and it is unreasonable to expect a backplate for that amount of money. Please pay a higher price for the cooler if your hands are crooked and you are nervous about exceeding your withdrawal limit. for am4 socket: The issue with the backplate can be fixed in a quarter of an hour using only the following tools: a screwdriver, a 4 mm drill, a hacksaw, and a needle file. We take a native backplate from the mother (or one that I get from Ali for 150 r), drill the fasteners into it, cut them down to 1 mm, buy screws and nuts measuring m3 x 15 mm from the hardware shop, and then screw these screws into the cooler fasteners that are located on the back of the mother. A gain of fifty dollars! Someone on this thread mentioned that he screwed it to his native backplate; that statement is rut. To begin, the screws on this cooler are m3, whereas the backplate on the original motherboard used m3.5 screws. They have not been tested to twist. Second, on the backplate, you need to grind or cut down the mounts that extend out over the motherboard; if you don't, there will be a gap between the cooler and the CPU, because the mount cooler also has similar mounts. If you don't do this, the gap will be larger than it has to be. And again, in terms of noise, at such a price, I did not find a cooler (top-flow) that was quieter than this one. Under load, against the background of my RX570, it is not even near to audible, and during office work, it drops the speed to 900, where it is likewise utterly inaudible because the background noise is so much louder.

Pros
  • price to quality ratio, sufficiently quiet, and appears to be fine!
Cons
  • without a backplate, there is no backlight.
