Excellent cooler for higher TDP processors

Great cooler! I have been using braids for many years (2 days by katana). The fans and lighting are wonderful. Extremely quiet and dropped around 8-10c at 2700x.

Take your time and install this outside of your case. The cooler is huge - vertical GPUs can have problems with data…

May not be suitable for small cases. But if you like air-cooled RGB lighting, you will…

This cooler really works!

This cooler works really well. Offset heatpipes give plenty of room for RAM in all 4 slots. When idling, the temperature is constantly in the range of 30 degrees Celsius. With the Ryzen 7 3800x, the temperature is 69-70°C under full load. RGB works great with Aura Sync and looks nice and bright. This is a large cooler so make sure it fits in your case. However, it's not as big as some. The mounting system is great, the only problem is that it sits a millimeter or two to the side. You would…
