ARCTICFreezer A13 X - Compact AMD CPU Cooler, 100 mm, 300-2000 RPM (Controlled by PWM), Fluid Dynamic Bearing, Pre-Applied MX-2 Thermal Paste - Black

This is a nice cooler, I installed it in a mini-itx case thermaltake suppressor F1. It fits perfectly and keep my Ryzen 5700x fresh. Around 75 centigrades degrees playing AAA games or compiling big projects.

Mi i7-3770 no pasa de los 70 grados al 100% de carga (folding@home) sostenida indefinidamente, Eso sin otros ventiladores que le ayuden.Lo instale en mi ryzen 7 2700x y funciona, pero no con cargas tan grandes (sobrado para gaming), la desventaja es que la placa que hace contacto con el procesador es muy pequeña, buena para Intel pero en AMD no es suficiente contacto.Muy facil de instalar en Intel, se puede instalar sin remover la motherboard o insertar nada por detras de esta. Para AMD es un poco mas complicado, si se puede pero cuesta trabajo sostener las pestañas para luego atornillar el disipador.

Acquistato 2 anni fa per sostiruire il dissipatore originale Intel non pensavo ad un miglioramento così elevato dato il costo esiguo.ARCTIC Freezer 13 con ventola da 92mm PWM ha un'ottima qualità costruttiva ed una capacità ampia di dissipazione, un peso contenuto e dimensione ottime per un midtower come l'XpredatorX3.Mi ha permesso di portare un Intel Q9400 fino a 3400mHz in daily senza sofferenza sulle temperature, ventola sempre silenziosissima (mai sentita a differenza di quella stock), la base in rame è pronta all'installazione con la pasta termica pre applicata, ma attenzione perchè non è protetta, fate attenzione durante il montaggio.Montaggio semplicissimo tramite la sua base che permette di inserirla sui maggiori socket in commercio, il corpo del dissipatore va poi serrato con 2 viti sulle levette che spingono la base sul processore, tra le altre cose è possibile montarlo sulle 4 direzioni, con o senza la ventola, anche se io consiglio di montarla nello stesso senso della ventola posteriore del case. L'altezza permette al Freezer di entrare anche nei case di media grandezza, non essendo nè troppo ingombrante o pesante.In conclusione un ottimo prodotto a livello costruttivo ad un prezzo basso ne fanno un best buy per chi vuole sostituire le rumorosissime ventole originali dei processori ed avere una buona discesa delle temperature giornaliere.Non solo lo consiglio ma avendo intenzione di passare a Skylake (socket 1151) ne prenderò a breve un altro.

Motherboard - MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBONCPU - AMD Ryzen 1600XI purchased this for my new PC build as not only was it at a very good price point, the reviews were positive and I have to say I wasn't dissappointed.First of all it looks great and has a certain amount of 'heft' to it. I would recommend you read the installation leaflet and familiarise yourself with the fitting as the AM4 bracket can be a bit fiddly. I found that the cooler could only be fitted with the fan facing north or south and you need to check it will not get in the way of your RAM sticks - if you have low profile you should be ok, I was fitting 2X Corsair 16GB DDR4 Vengeance LPX with no issue.When removing the cooler from the packaging please take care not to touch the bottom of the heatsink that sits on top of your CPU as it already has a coating of MX thermal paste, as I found out too late and had to buy some to cover it again. To fit the cooler you first have to remove the fan from the fins (you cannot effectively get to a screw on one side of the M4 bracket if you dont). Use a small flat blade screwdriver to assist you as there are small clips either side holding the fan in place. Once removed you can then fit the cooler, centre over your CPU and connect it to the M4 bracket loosely, once both sides are connected tighten the screws a little on each side each time so you can keep the screws straight and the cooler centred on your CPU - this fitting is fiddly but take your time and ensure you understand how the parts connect. I would recommend you only try to fit the cooler with your motherboard out of your case on a flat none conductive surface and be careful of any components/solder points on the bottom of your motherboard .Once the cooler is in place, slide the fan back into position (I found this easier than taking it off ) and connect the wire to your fan header.I have found the performance from this cooler to be excellent and extremely quiet, I also purchased and installed 2 x ARCTIC F12 PWM Rev.2 - Standard Low Noise PWM Controlled Case Fan from Amazon to compliment and my rig is running very quiet and very cool even at high loads thanks to the fans utilising PWM. I am not an overclocker but I have taken stock speed on my CPU from 3.6 Ghz to 4Ghz and the cooler has performed flawlessly and would highly recommend it.

This cooler allowed me to overclock my FX 6300 to 4.5 GHz @ 1.396V ! Considering that this is an air cooler and that too it only has a single 92mm fan, the performance is awesome.
