I purchased this Pure Rock slim cooler for my new Ryzen 5600x and motherboard which had to fit in a compact case. Cooler was easy to fit and appeared to work well. However in the case, along with rtx 3070ti , too much heat was being generated. Ended up buying a a Base 500 case with large 120 mm be quiet fans.Outcome is a very quiet system and I can't hear the rock cooler under 100% load.Great value and highly recommended.CCL despatched product quickly and Parcel force delivered it quickly.

Best AM4 mini ATX cooler for the price

The best cooler for the price. It performs better than more expensive downdraft coolers. It's a perfect fit for a 5600x inside the nr200p mini itx case, and it's a much better value than the noctua 92mm cooler. I have heard that for intel the mounting is not the best, but for AM4 it's great.

Definite upgrade over stock for Ryzen 5600x

Some people complained about bent fins and smeared thermal paste. I didn't have either of those issues, despite a moderate squish in one corner of the box.. Perhaps, they refined their packaging. Keeping all settings the same, it kept my Ryzen 5600x 20 degrees below the stock cooler! I was able to get about an extra 300MHz on all cores under a cinebench load, while still keeping it 5 degrees cooler. That extra bump turned my 65W CPU into an 85W CPU, with a package draw of about 98W. Aggressive overclockers, look elsewhere. For basic overclocking, this does the job at a pretty good price.

Good cooler but bad packaging.

Received what was very obviously a returned and resealed product. The Intel mounting hardware was missing from the box, but thankfully I was using a AMD CPU so that wasn't a problem. There was no cover on the pre-applied thermal paste so the moment I moved the cooler from the box I saw that it was all over the bottom of the packaging. I had to wipe it off and replace with third party thermal past. The final issue was a few of the silver fins on the part the fan attaches to were bent. I was able to bend them back and the install the cooler. Over all it works but just beware you could get a poorly repackaged product like I did and you may have to take a few extra steps to get it installed. Overall for $25 it does what it is supposed to. It keeps my Ryzen 5 3600 at max ... MoreReceived what was very obviously a returned and resealed product.

Great AMD Cooler, Acceptable Intel Option

As a cooler, this is a pretty brilliant unit with a solid 6 heatpipes and great machining work for the block, coupled with a solid radiator and impressively quiet 120mm fan. The form factor should work great in smaller cases, and overall airflow achieved is enough that pretty much any 130W TDP CPU should work brilliantly, and this includes the 11600k at stock clocks.The real downside is the Intel mounting, which is frankly substandard. Plastic push-through barbs holding a cooling fan under tension to the PCB was acceptable decades ago, but honestly a better solution wouldn't cost much extra, and I would have happily paid more for that system. The AMD mounting is drastically better, and for a Ryzen system this is the cooler I would recommend, but for Intel systems ... MoreAs a cooler, this is a pretty brilliant unit with a solid 6 heatpipes and great machining work for the block, coupled with a solid radiator and impressively quiet 120mm fan.

For now, Intel users should consider a 212, or spending more to get a Noctua option

Great Budget Cooler

I purchased this to replace the stock cooler on my Intel Core i3-10100f. I was benching at a highest temp of 68 degrees which I know isn't bad, but I wanted to see what this could do since I plan to upgrade later to a more powerful processor. Interestingly enough I was able to drop temp to 51 degrees max temp during benchmarks. If you're looking for a good budget cooler to keep things cool this is a great fit.

Great Cooler Value Cooler

Good replacement cooler for AMD CPU in the 65w to 115w range because it is easy to install, small size fits most cases with height clearance of 135mm and 90mm fan is audible but very quiet at 2000+rpm. Fan is reversible so I mounted it to pull air from the back of my CM NR200p which dropped temps vs conventional installation. I would caution at full load my 5600x at 75w TDP was at 70c, however my 2600x at 114 TDP was at 95c which is at thermal limits and was throttling. I would recommend this cooler for a CPU with less than 100w TDP if running at max 24/7 or for a gaming PC utilizing less than 100w. I was very satisfied with this cooler I purchased two for a CM NR200P build and another for a Lian Li TU150 build!

Great Cooler for the Size!

I had purchased this cooler mainly because I was a fan of the size. It fit great in smaller cases while still wanting the benefits of the tower design. Originally this cooler was paired with a 5600 and gave me no issues even while Overclocked. The temps were always under control and was SILENT!Now it's currently paired with a 5800x3D still provides exceptional cooling. During gaming it never goes above 60 and benchmarking it'll hover in the mid 70's and is still SILENT!Of course there are better coolers if you're looking to get cooler temps, but for the price of $29.99? You can't beat it. I highly recommend it. Especially if you're looking for a silent build.

Great little 92mm cooler

I bought this to replace the Ryzen wraith stealth cooler that was supplied with my 5700g as I wasn't happy with the high temps I was getting in my mini itx case. It dropped the temps by 10°C during a 3D Mark benchmark and at least 20°C in Cinebench R23 where the CPU was thermal throttling using the Ryzen stock cooler, and runs quieter too. The only drawback for some may be the fact that it uses the standard AMD A4 brackets which you may have removed to fit the stock cooler (why doesn't the stock cooler use AMD's own brackets???) and discarded. I'm surprised they didn't supply any. Also the fins are very thin so were slightly bent in places, although not an issue for me as the cooler isn't visible in my setup anyway.

Nice, quiet little cooler with ONE flaw

This BeQuiet Cooler was a perfect fit for my i5-10400. It works quietly and I've had no issues with it. Temps are reasonably cool and the fan hardly breaks a sweat.The one thing I will say is that the mounting system could be better. Screwing on the Intel brackets is easy enough. But since it relies on Intel's push pin system, it is a pain in the rear to secure them all in. Arctic uses a similar push pin setup, but that one is relatively easy as you simply have to push the tabs in.Overall it's a good cooler for the price. Would definitely recommend.
