Thermalright AXP90-X53 Full Low Profile ITX CPU Air Cooler, 53mm Height, TL-9015R Slim PWM Fan, AGHP Technology,for AM4/AM5/Intel LGA1700/1851/1150/1151/1155/1156/1200(Pure Copper Version)

The media could not be loaded. I wanted a low profile, affordable cpu cooler that also happens to be white for my matx build. For some reason, white parts are marked up astronomically but not this one. It’s attractive, whisper quiet, and it works very well. I’m a complete beginner and I was able to install it because the instructions were so clear. The choices that were made to make it so universal were clear and easy to navigate. If you’re like me and are working toward an all white build, the center logo was just a sticker and it was very easy to remove and the cables were also a very bright white.

Great for my ryzen 5, nice and quiet. I'd recommend for the SFF community. Works well in my laser cut wood PC case I made for my htpc

For a low profile fan it works great, looks great in the case. I used the included backplate on my motherboard not the one that came with the cooler.It's cooling a 9700x and at stock settings in a stress test it kept the CPU temp around 70 degrees.My only complaint is the little fan is definitely on the noisey side so I adjusted the fan curve and now when gaming it's barely audible and still keeps my CPU in the low to mid 80s, still comfortably below the 95 degree throttle temp.

I have to say one of the best coolers out there for itx builds, I am using it on a ryzen 78003xd and it doesn’t over heat, in a pretty small build pretty impressive by the size of this small cooler

This fan is so quiet and works really well! Replaced my Optiplex 790DT cpu fan and it’s been really great! Definitely would pick up another for my next build.

Moved to this from the ID-Cooling IS47. My build is a Fractal Terra using the Strix B650E-I board and a 7800x3D. I figured I was able to squeeze a bit larger of a cooler in my case after using the 47mm for several months. I've seen lower idle temps by about 3-6 C and in games specifically, quite a measurable difference.For instance in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 at max settings at 4k, I was getting to around the thermal limit I had set for my cpu of 80C when using the previous 47mm cooler.Now that I am using this Thermalright 53mm cooler, I'm seeing temps stable around the 73-77 C mark. I haven't checked if I'm able to push more fps with these lower temps but I imagine so. Either way, I am very pleased with the 5ish degree headroom I am working with on this cooler. This cooler was incredibly easy to get setup onto my computer as well. All I had to do was take off the LGA1700 brackets that are pre-installed on the backplate of the coooler and fasten the AM5 ones. After that, it was just a matter of dropping the screws in and tightening the thumsbscrews on the backside of the motherboard and I was good to go.

Terrible mounting system, bends motherboard PCB really badly. Terrible cooling performance, can't even effectively cool a 65W TDP 9700X. 60-65C idle, immediate spike to 95C under load. 87C during gaming. Will be replacing with another brand.

The instructions are terrible. They don't give you all the parts you need. If you install it, you can't change CPUs or thermal paste without access to the back of the motherboard. And it looks like it would hit the filter capacitors on my MB. I would NOT recommend this product line.I tried installing it on an ASUS MB with an AM4 socket. I'm mechanically inclined so I ignored the reviews about difficulty of installation. Boy was I wrong! The directions were incomprehensible. (Get a native speaker to fix the English at least.) Most coolers mount to brackets on top the MB which are permanently to a backplate. This one doesn't. It is bolted from the cooler straight through the MB to the backing plate with nuts on the back and nearly inaccessible "thumbscrew" locations between the MB and heatsink. (Which are partly under the heatsink!) This means you cannot put the cooler on without access to the backside of the motherboard to tighten the nuts underneath. A service nightmare.They also do tell you to use an insulating plate under their backing plate, but did not include one. You are supposed to peel the old one off your OEM backing plate? But the killer was that edge of the heatsink came down on top of the finter capacitors on the motherboard. This happened on two different model ASUS boards. (To be fair, I did this test fit without a CPU in place so there may have actually been some tiny vertical clearance, but it looked too close to call.)So the question about whether it really fit and the service nightmare it would leave me in a tight build caused me to send it back. I'd have taken off two stars for the horrible instructions and the poor design, but the fit questions and the missing insulator plate cost another one.
