I had that air cooler today without watching your video and I was using stock cooler on Ryzen 5 3600 before the temp was maximum at 85 Celsius while playing game. After than I changed to darkair plus, it really helps me a lot from 85 to 68 Celsius. Really great cooler!

Certainly does look the business RGB-wise. Delivered (in 9 days) from AliExpress was just over £25 which I think is great at that pricepoint especially for ARGB. Even without being lit up I think it looks really good. Shame it was a pain to install but Im just pleased the coldplate was flat, if anybody gets one of these then they can reference this video for a better idea rather than rely on the "instructions". Having thermal paste included was a nice touch too. Those temps sound nice too, thanks for taking the time to review this Mike and Kath :-)

So glad you covered the bracket installation because my instructions try to say put the brackets under but, the cooler as you mentioned isn’t threaded so if you do it that way the am4 bracket doesn’t even screw into the cooler…. Instructions just need a couple small fixes because the backplate they include also isn’t in the instructions for the am4 part, it specifically says those parts are only for intel 😂 Edit: made a correction because of my horrible spelling.
