Installed this Thermalright 2 weeks ago and I love it. Runs 20°C lower than the AMD Wraith cooler on my Ryzen 5 7600 at peak temps, looks good and is pretty quiet. The heatsink seems very efficient. Many thin blades dissipating the heat. Chose this one because some of the other huge ones seem like overkill and would fill up so much space in my micro atx case that it would lower the flow of air.
Building my first Ryzen system with the Ryzen 5 1600AF. Building it from used parts so I got this for a cooler for the CPU. Glad to see my choice was a good one. It is cool to see you can get an all white one for basically the same price to go with the all white setups that seem to be all the rage right now.
@@bearfm Well first off the 1600 AF is a rebadged and slightly downclocked 2600 from 2020 and before that my main rig was an X79 Xeon from 2012. So the 1600AF is definitely not ancient unless you are one of those that blows huge amounts of money upgrading every couple years. And also I don't run Windows so I don't have to worry about completely arbitrary system requirements designed to sell new PC licences to run my computer.
@@bearfm It is all relative. Compared to the old Dell T3600 it replaced and the i5 6500 I was using as a backup in between it is night and day. I am running Opensuse Tumbleweed. I am also running 32GBs in dual channel which is more than most people so maybe that is helping too? And I think it also depends on what you do with your PC. Photo and video editing works great for me and the games I play the only ones that slam my CPU are 7 days to Die and Valheim which are kind of already have a reputation for being heavy on the CPU for awhile. And in both cases I can usually solve the issue with just killing my browser for awhile while gaming. That or a janky Mesa driver update which usually gets patched in a few days. But I can only speak to my own experience.
Just helped a friend install this, his first cpu cooler installation, 40c at idle, 55 while gaming, great cheap cpu cooler, only thing i dont agree with this is the assumptions about how well it does on higher end CPUs.
I've just got the thermalright assassin king, got the argb one from amazon for £14.99, insane value; it's working great...Much quieter than the stock wraith cooler I was using.
The best budget one that's as good as the high end expensive water coolers is PS120SE in my main build. I have experience with using that one and this cooler in the video in another system and both perform great and the ARGB versions are so god damn cheap (when I got it the ARGB version was cheaper too). The only thing is that the cooler installation process feels weird and irritating at best and extremely annoying at worst.
hey, good video. One thing i want to know, how is the loudness compared to the stock cooler? My wraith spire is quite loud.. do you notice a difference?
This is the reason I've upgraded. Most comments on the Amazon reviews suggest it's a lot better than the stock AMD coolers. Mine makes a horrible whine, so interested to see if it is any quieter!
My victus 15L suddenly shoots up in game to 135F , I don’t know if that’s accurate but $20 I’m going to set this up since the aio coolers are hard to find
Id say get a 240 280 360mm artic aio as its pretty cheap and the best aio but has a thicker than normal radiator don’t cheap out that much when using a 7800x3D

I run it with a Ryzen 5700x. Its a non issue. Im still below 70C all the time.

damn, first gen ryzen? shits ancient

@@certs743 i dont use windows either (nixos FTW), but 1st and 2nd gen ryzen are showing their age

Great job! Just bought this cooler and you love to see the performance 🙏

Gotta love the budget upgrades W vid Bruvva
Appreciate it bruv
Nice vid, I can feel the cooling power from here
the "chill force" is strong with this one
i've got a 5700x3d with this cooler and ive never seen the cpu go over 70
Same
We have the exact same build except different motherboards and case lol. Same fans and same brand new heatsink cpu fan
Thank you for doing this great review. May I ask what the ambient room temperature was ?

I just bought one of these and installed it yesterday. Only the one I got didn't have two backplates, just one adjustable one instead.
Maybe youc an also activate manual PBO, with +200mhz offset for even more performance (becuase of the headroom in temp you have now!)
What's your room temperature during the test?

RMA to AMD they should send out a new one if in warranty period.
0:32 spirit is newer and better than than assasin x
I too have assasin x
My Ryzen 3600 is too loud with a wraith prism . Is this cooler better than the wraith prism? Is it quieter?😊
Yes it is
Excellent video thanks
Can it fit m660 mortar and vga
Ryzen 5 7500f+ Thermalright ax 120?
My victus 15L suddenly shoots up in game to 135F , I don’t know if that’s accurate but $20 I’m going to set this up since the aio coolers are hard to find
that is only 56 Celsius
GREAT VIDEO ❤
Thank you!
Would this cool a 7800x3d???
Id say get a 240 280 360mm artic aio as its pretty cheap and the best aio but has a thicker than normal radiator don’t cheap out that much when using a 7800x3D
I use it on my 5700x3d
Got it for 14$
WHAT A ABOUT A rYZEN 7 5700X, WHICH HAS A 65 TDP
Same as the 5600x the one he's testing
Probably runs a tiny bit hotter with the extra cores I guess?
@@Laffey16 no change im using the cpu with that cooler.
I have it. Around mid 50c on medium load, 67-68c on max load. Never went over 70c idle at 40c. Ambient temp is around 29-32c
Been using it. It's so cool
Phenomenal
😀😀
