Review on πŸ”₯ Cryorig M9A AMD Tower CPU Cooler with Jet Fin Acceleration System - Silver/Black - Compact Size for Optimal Performance by Bret Wong

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exceptional, competitive cooling performance; can fit 2nd fan; quiet AF (airflow, hehe)

Goodbye stock cooler. Hello overclocking. It comes with blissful silence and a hefty tube of pretty good thermal paste. Keeps my moderately overclocked Ryzen 1300X (3.9GHz, 1.35V) under load for an extended period of time under 60 degrees. Calm. Installation can be a bit of a hassle if you don't like messing around with small items. It's a worthy competitor to the Cooler Master Hyper EVO 212 as it stands up to the direct comparison. While technically it has less mass and surface area, it's actually just a reduced equivalent. Because it's shorter than the 212 EVO, it fits into smaller ATX mid-tower cases. It comes with a bracket that allows you to rotate it to direct airflow in any direction, as well as a symmetrical design for installing a second fan on the heatsink. The material of this radiator allows heat to flow very quickly across the surface of its ribbed channels. , which leads to drastic temperature fluctuations. This is most noticeable when you're playing for a while and give the CPU a 5-20 second break by pressing the Alt key, pausing the game, or simply reducing in-game activity. I would say that this is the biggest real benefit of spending money on such a component. So if you have a case that's too small to be considered a respectable ATX case, or cases that pride themselves on being lesser known, or my goodness - you bought a used computer and you just can't use it get - buy this (kind of) cooler. This one if you are on a budget. It's worth every penny and then some.
