Review on 💨 High-Performance Scythe Shuriken 2 CPU Air Cooler: The Ultimate Cooling Solution for Intel LGA1151 and AMD AM4/Ryzen Processors by Tony Wilson

R5 1600 @ 3.5 inch Geeek A50 This is some strong stuff. It's quieter than the Noctua NF-A9x14 case fan and honestly has great thermal performance. Thermal performance appears to be slightly better than the standard Wraith Spire cooler and has smaller clearance for SFF cases. I would definitely recommend it to a friend. I wish I had a flat Noctua cooler to compare to, but at least it's on par with some of the reference thermals I've seen online. It's a bit noisy at 100%, but I've never had to turn it up that high and my temperature stays below 60C when gaming at full load. Headphones, and there was no real reason to be idle at 45c. now the idle temp is 52 degrees celsius and i didn't go above 65 degrees under full gaming load and it's very quiet all the time. There is a noise when playing but I rarely notice it. I'm still sticking with my 5 star rating.
