Have a Ryzen 5800xt and the stock cooler was enough to keep the cpu cool but when I stressed tested it in cinebench r24, it was consistently hovering around 85-88C and hit 90C a couple times. After switching to this cooler and running the same test, temps were much better and hovering around 75-80C at max load. Fan was much quieter too and RGB looks great. One pig plus of this cooler is that it comes with extra clips if you want to add a second fan to the heatsink, which I did to help airflow.

Very quiet and good CPU cooling fan. Keeps my CPU temps at a good level without it being too loud. The installation was pretty easy just follow the instructions because there are different brackets for AM4/AM5/Intel CPUs.

Is RGB CPU cooler? I thought it was going to be a lot worse because how small it was but it actually works very well and efficient. It keeps my ryzen 9 5900x below 70 to 80° c. I highly recommend this CPU Kohler because it's cheaper than a lot of coolers and it's very efficient

Super quiet fan, keeps my pc cool. Great upgrade from the stock cpu fan. Has addressable RGB. Installation is a little convoluted, but doable. Compatible with many different cpu form factors. I’m using it with my Ryzen 5 3600X.

I used this heatsink tp replace an AMD box cooler as part of a hand me down upgrade. I'm using this to cool an AMD Ryzen 5700X. The installation was as good as any AMD AM4 cooler installation. At a cost of around 30 bucks I certainly don't have any performance complaints. This runs quiet, look nice and does the job really well.

bought this to test hearing issues i’m experiencing with the i9–4900kf. it was readily available at my local store and easy enough to install and uninstall. i don’t need it, but applying it to my cpu did leave some marks on the plate for the cooler, so i just kept it as a spare part

This is a great CPU air cooler for a really great price, well worth it. It will cool an 4-8 core chip nicely. Mine is being used on a Ryzen 5 1400, a major upgrade over the stock heat sink and fan. Installs very easy and includes thermal paste and bracketry for many different types of motherboards.

Great cooler for the price. Bigger than i anticipated, so make sure and measure your clearance. This thing is quiet, syncs up with armory crate with some of my other RGB on my ASUS mb, and ties the look together well. Would reccomend.

Keeps a Ryzen 5 5600x at 40-50c at idle, and >80c under load while looking stylish with its almost matte black finish and very colourful and full of color rgb fan. 9/10 great cpu cooler for normal non OC systems. Side note, it also comes with a tube of thermal paste. :)

The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Halo Black is a stellar air cooler that combines great performance with sleek design. Its dual tower and four heat pipes provide efficient heat dissipation, keeping your CPU temperatures low even under load. The addition of the Halo fan, with its RGB lighting, adds a touch of style without being over-the-top. It’s relatively easy to install, and the build quality is solid. Overall, the Hyper 212 Halo Black offers excellent value for its price, delivering reliable cooling and a touch of flair to your build. Highly recommended for budget-conscious users looking for quality performance!

This thing was my savior when building my new am5 build. I tried an aio cooler and I just could fit the rad anywhere in my case comfortably. But this thing fit like a glove. Adequate cooling, an the rgb is a beautiful touch

An air cooler that works well, though does get very loud. I got it for for i7 14700kf but it seemed like it had to work very hard to cool down the CPU. I found out later I needed an AIO for my Intel CPU so then upgraded. Otherwise it looks great inside any build! And I feel would work better with an AMD more mid range CPU that doesn't get as hot. It also comes with mounts for both platforms.

It kept my 7900X cool for a day until my AIO replacement arrived. It's definitely worth the money if you need something quick and cheap. Get another fan, though, because the single fan won't be enough.

I'm loving this cooler, it's a super quiet fan and gets the job done keeping my PC cool. Its RGB lighting is the cherry on top as they look amazing plus they perfectly match my other RGB fans color.
