Review on ๐Ÿ’ง Cryorig A40 Hybrid Liquid Cooler: Advanced 240mm Radiator with Bonus Airflow Fan by Doug Booth

Revainrating 4 out of 5

If you have AMD, be careful!

First of all, don't label the parts in the instructions. Personal annoyance, at least Ikea clearly lists all the screws needed. This cooler requires an AMD3/4 backplate. If you don't have the old one, you can't install it on the motherboard. I had to purchase a backplate from Revain and the screws that come with this cooler are so short that they don't fully tighten the backplate. Using straight screws didn't work because the screws weren't long enough yet. I ended up having to grind off a few knots on the back so the screws could be tightened. Not to mention that actually installing the thumbscrews was a nightmare! I felt like I was about to break the processor at any moment, but. here we are! It works great, tempos are managed very well :)
