Modern AMD Ryzen AM5 processors with the X index are not currently equipped with a cooler at the factory. And this is due to the heat pack of 105 watts. But there is less powerful equipment that has a built-in cooler. But it’s difficult to do without a cooling system, so you need to study the main features and understand what you should pay attention to.
It must be said right away that this is compact equipment, but it is suitable for only one socket.
In fact, this is an update to probably one of the most popular and well-known low profile coolers. Its height is only 37 millimeters, which is lower than some RAM modules. But even with such dimensions, its mass is almost 500 grams. This is due to the presence of dense aluminum fins through which copper tubes pass. The service life of the bearing is about 150 thousand hours. The maximum operating speed is 2500 rpm.
The peculiarity of the device is that it is multi-socket and stands on a hydraulic bearing. But the price is pretty low. But here there is a direct contact of the tubes with the processor, which must be taken into account.
It’s also another update for a budget device that now comes with some important additions. What is most important is to protect the copper from corrosion.
For a single-chip processor, this solution will be one of the best.
Users who have already tried the cooler say that the ends of the tubes are not covered, which is a minus. But there are 2 towers, the total weight of which is 1.3 kilograms, and as an addition, there are 2 fans with ARGB.
The air cooler competes very well with water coolers. The power is enough to cool any modern processor.
The design includes 6 copper tubes with a diameter of only 6 millimeters, and they pass through 2 massive aluminum plates. Ultimately, the weight of the cooler is only 1.3 kilograms.
Immediately you need to start with the fact that the heat sink here is 300 W, despite the fact that the noise level is almost minimal.
This is a 2-section liquid cooling system using a dielectric refrigerant.
Some say that there is a minus, which consists in the absence of illumination in 2 complex fans, only it is on the pump cover. But few appreciate this parameter.
This equipment is already ready for operation, that is, it is already charged with refrigerant at the factory. Installation is not difficult and does not take much time.
And now there is an opportunity to choose different colors:
As an addition, there is a high-quality backlight that creates the effect of a bottomless mirror.
