Why is EVERYONE Talking About These CPU Coolers?

Sometimes the best PC gaming hardware comes from the least likely places. After listening to suggestions I decided to try out two of the cheapest CPU coolers available and test them at multiple heat loads. And while these might look like the best heatsinks for Ryzen, there's a lot you need to know about them before making the jump.

So... The cheaper one uses a copy of the cooler master mounting system, and the more expensive one uses a 90s-vintage spring loaded mounting system. Makes sense.

Copy? But snowman is from cooler master... .-.

Yes for the countries that have Lazada or Shopee (South East Asian countries) the shipping time is so fast like 4-5 days only. They're like the local version of Ali/Amazon, owned by Alibaba too.

I was able to buy the MT6 but it came with thte MT4 mounting clips for AM4. The installation was pretty good and easy. Also I heard that buying the non rgb or non argb fans are actually better due to them being more quiet than the other versions. Overall it was a pretty solid buy for me, since I live in Asia the price of shipping was relatively cheap and I was more or less able to buy the cooler for around $30

Awesome video. I got a dual fan mt6s mounted on my lga 1366 system. I have to say that even tho it was a bit finnicky, installation wasnt really that much of an issue. The plastic push-pins held up through my rather aggressive installation. The mt6s on my atx x58 mobo did intrude on the first pcie slot, so i actually have it rotated so its exhausting to the top of the case. Does an excellent job cooling my w3690 overclocked to 4.12ghz.

[@cutsprings_kyle]

i had to deal with a similar mounting system to the "adapted" intel ring, with the plastic clips to secure it. i went to the hardware store and got bolts and washers so i didn't have to use the plastic clips but could use the adapter ring on an intel board. it was a last minute solution, but it works great.

Already have an ID-Cooling SE-224XT Black V2 myself but I took a look at Snowman MT4 and MT6S coolers as I'm considering upgrading to a better cooler for my older pc that has a Xeon E3 1240 V3 and it doesn't look like I would be getting one. Snowman coolers were priced pretty cheap around ~$10~$25, but they have problems with the packaging like you mentioned. But most reviews on an online marketplace I checked had really damaged boxes for them to the point where some looked like a ball that was kicked around by a bunch of kids. Lots of crumpled boxes so the heatpipe tops were peeking out, and worst ones have the fan broken and the copper heatpipes cracked. Pretty weird if consdering this in Asia and China isn't too far, but that's pretty telling that the packaging or kind of a lack of additional supporting material inside like foam inside the box is the problem for the beat up packages. There's potential mishandling of packages by couriers, but I've ordered a dceent amount of suff fron China and never seen packages as beat up as those Snowman coolers. Even more unfortunate is that some people who got damaged Snowman coolers had a hard time getting in touch with the sellers.

[@WeAreMovieMakers]

Like these videos Mike makes, just feel like they could be shortened a bit with some editing.

[@arrowdynamlc]

upHere N1065, comes in black and white, 6 heatpipes, with or without ARGB, and doesn't use direct contact heatpipes. Is between $33-40 USD depending on the version

[@evergaolbird]

Snowman T4 Black Edition is now using the same mounting mechanism as the T6, just letting you guys know. In my country though where the cooler is shipped locally instead of coming directly to China. Also the mounting kit here both contains the AMD and Intel variants (but stil the same crappy Intel Mounting Kit). Snowman T6 Black Edition here with 2 ARGB Fans included that should come with a free thermal compound plus 2 mounting kits is around 35.5 USD. Currently I'm using the Deepcool Gammaxx 400 (4 pipes) and its using the same mounting kit for AMD as the ones used with the T6. They are hard to use AF.

Thermal paste edition? (Thermagic) ZF 12 from Aliexpress versus Kryonaut etc. When bought in big batches the price is very low per gram. 12 W/mK

[@KaiSoDaM]

When i tested i saw zero difference from the gd007 i was using (temps wise). But i hated how its texture was so dry and hard to apply to the cpu, maybe my paste was very old or something...

[@WOGDOG10]

I bought one of these snowman coolers, the low profile cooler with the fan facing down towards the cpu) for my i5-9400 and it was such a pain to get the clips on. It ended up being so loose that I can spin freely but it doesn’t seem to ‘rock’. I may have damaged the cooling by applying too much pressure idk, it still works fine though, temps are low enough. I used thermal grizzly paste on it too. I want to build into a new tiny case, I have a ‘dtx’ mobo and from some research it seems it will fit into a 3 slot itx case, I also need one that fits an atx PSU though. I’m thinking about getting a aio to replace the snowman but I don’t wanna spend more than $150 on the case+aio

Did you order them from official store on AE? I ask because mine came packed extremely well (from official store) but I see on many other resellers people complaining about shipping. I agree about quality of plastic clips, it's necessary to ask seller to send few additional ones (they just throw it in without additional charge if you ask) but better solution for Intel platform is what they need in future Btw I usually order two fan version and use second fan as rear case fan :)

I guess that's the problem of not having it "locally available". Here in the Philippines there's a local retailer that stocks these coolers. They also come bundled with slightly better thermal paste, and both AMD and Intel mounting hardware are included. And since it's "local stock", you're not paying for any shipping from China.

[@namtrieunguyen7630]

@@iskanderbouziane3300 it is beyond excellent if you replace the stock fans with some good fans (my mt6 has 2 fans). Tips for installing this kind of cooler: install the brackets as you normally would, however, loosen the screws as much as you can. Install the cooler on the loosen brackets. Tighten the screws diagonally with a long screwdriver to force the cooler on your cpu. This would ensure that thermal paste is evenly spread and you don't have to worry about the stupid clamps of the cooler. Note: unless you have very delicate hands, you should install it free from your chassis. To uninstall it, follow the steps backwards. Uninstalling will not require motherboard's removal from the chassis.

Got the MT6 for cheap here in PH. Great bang for our buck and a solid performer. Downside is if you have a built system and you want to change to MT6 you really have to extract the motherboard because of its old ass mounting system.

[@namtrieunguyen7630]

Actually, I figured out that if you slowly loosen the screws of the motherboard's mounting bracket, you can easily remove the cooler. However, the catch is that you will need to remove the motherboard to reinstall it. This way of installation ensure the paste always spreads evenly.

[@healspringy6300]

Or Gelid Phantom (Black)

[@adeguntoro]

will it fit inside NR200 ?

[@hmello3250]

i bought the black one with 6 heatpipes and it outperformed my hyper 212 black

[@Sybertek]

I was hoping to see the Scythe Fuma 2 in the comparison. I know this has been reviewed before on Hardware Canucks.

I have the MT6 with two Arctic P12 push pull config on Ryzen 5800X, it's kinda running hot around 92 degrees on stress test, then I decided upgrade to Peerless Assassin, then it turns out it's only make 2 degrees cooler, I've feel so stupid.

Picked up an MT4 new on ebay for £18.89. Strangely it had the pre-installed AMD mount like the MT6 in this video. Would have preferred the screw in mount.

Hp uses intel cooler bracket sizes in the amd machine i have. so i had to buy one of those little adapter things to go from lga to am4..

[@thomashoskins8817]

anyone tried this with AM5? was thinking of getting a 7600 6 core processor and because this is a clipon style heatsink means it should work fine but will be overwhelmed by the 95° temps...

[@rockbrasil9822]

Please test mt6s dual cooler.

[@Friedbrain11]

You didn't install the AMD cooler correctly but it is installed for the 6 heatpipe model. I hate the screw on type with the damn springs. So if you can stand the wait and the charges then the MT6 is a best buy :)

[@scprojekt1896]

how about giving a jonsbo cooler a try? they got a wide range of coolers as well but most of them are RGBs.

[@chubbysocks5650]

Can you do a video on snowman vs thermalright please.

[@ErDige]

I'm so impressed!

[@gfdhdfhf6850]

How do I install it on 12th gen intel

[@TheMatoniss]

I would like to see Bykski water cooling kit tested.
