Review on 🔥 Cryorig M9A AMD Tower CPU Cooler with Jet Fin Acceleration System - Silver/Black - Compact Size for Optimal Performance by Kenneth Martin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazingly efficient, flexible and quiet. Highly recommended.

Just received this so can't comment on longevity but will update the review if anything changes. It has greatly improved my system so far. It's hot in my house, I should say that first, but I've had some serious overheating issues. I was idling at around 40 - 50C. Light gaming easily got me to 55 - 65C. Heavy gaming 60 - 80C and the computer would shut down. The system and the CPU cooler were quite old. As a result, I had to keep the case open and cleaning every few days. I was a bit unsure about that, so I thought about spending a little more money and buying an AIO water cooler. But I thought it was worth a try considering how cheap it is and the good reviews. So I bought this and it now idles between 30-40C. Light gaming gets me up to 40-50C. Heavy gaming between 45-60C (peak). So far this is a big improvement. I'm thinking of buying another fan and adding that one as there is a mount for it and there is room in my case. since my computer is not in an ideal environment in terms of temperature. Not to mention that it's very quiet. I thought something was wrong at first because I'm so used to my old fan just roaring as soon as the computer turns on. Even if I work a lot on the computer, I hardly hear anything. That is amazing. This heatsink gives you a lot of flexibility in terms of the orientation of your fan. You can really make it point in any direction and I don't see it taking up too much space if you point it in the right direction if someone is worried about their RAM getting in the way. For me there was a vent next to the motherboard that this worked great for. I have an AM3 motherboard but the included bracket worked fine. The instructions were pretty vague so it took me a few minutes to figure it out, but it wasn't too difficult. When I buy my second fan, I'm sure everything will work even better. I highly recommend it.
