ID-COOLING IS-55 Black CPU Cooler Low Profile 55mm Height CPU Air Cooler 5 Heatpipes 120x120x15mm Slim Fan, CPU Fan for Intel LGA1851/1700/115X/1200; AMD AM4/AM5

Assembly is a little tricky but it works very well. It's quiet and moves a lot of air. It comes with a small tube of thermal paste that you apply. It's designed to work with different sockets so you have to make sure you use the right parts. Because when you get to the end there is one screw that you can't see that you have to thread. If you used the wrong parts or placed it in the wrong way it will never thread. Just use the right parts and assemble it in the right way and you are fine!

This little cooler is seriously impressive. Low profile 55 mm in height gives you more room to fit a bigger gfx card. I paired it with a 9700x undervolted in 88w configuration. And a gigabyte 9070xt oc fitting inside the fractal terra. I used a noctua l12s77 before this. I’d say the performance is right on par with noctua while being whisper quiet.

This cooler is amazing when you were trying to keep a low profile build actually low.I ordered a few from Amazon and every single one that came in had been used and returned. Double check your shipment for missing parts. That being said I have had this fit on multiple motherboards, but you will probably have to remove your memory heat spreaders. Use a thin card and they are super easy to remove. Once that is done, it will clear easily.

On the function bit, it functions great. In fact, it's performing very well and I have no issues or complaints about that. My only beef with it is the ease of installation which was non-existent. I can't believe how hard it was to get this thing to install because of the heat fins that were on my motherboard kept getting in the way and the size fit for this was supposed to be fine, even though PC part picker kind of led me astray by telling me in a small disclaimer that there might be fitment issues and I almost returned this. I bought it because it was one of the most popular aftermarket coolers on the market, so it seemed like it was the go-to one, but then when I saw how many Amazon returns were listed underneath it after I'd already purchased it, I started the bellyache and groan. Still, despite all the trial and tribulation of this entire most frustratingly piece of... Mmm. Hardware.... I got it installed. I don't know anything about noise level, I didn't hear anything but even if it sounds like a jet engine tearing up like it's about to take off, I'm willing to take it because at this point in time I just want my computer to stay cool.

This works quite well, but it's time for me to vent. As I was reading the instructions, it states to remove the 15 mm fan for the AMD CPU and use the long screws to secure the 25 mm fan. My question is what? I looked in the box and the parts I scattered around, there was no 25 mm fan, the longer screws were there but no larger fan. Lucky for me I had purchased a 120 x 25 mm fan, a box of three about a couple of weeks earlier, from the same manufacture ID, and only used two of them. So I grabbed the fan I didn't use earlier and installed it. The IS-15 cooler works well and is extremely quiet, with my larger ID fan, that was not included. The smaller included fan was to be used for Intel CPU. I looked over the Amazon Description, there was no mentioned of requiring a different fan for AMD, which is not included in the box. It just states a 120 x 15 mm fan. I have a similar grip with the manufacture, I purchased another ID cooler, which I will review soon. ID's Products are good, but their communication is poor.

I bought this because I had given up. I tried the most popular low profile coolers available and none worked as good as this cooler. I attached a Noctua NF-A12x25 fan and my idle temps are in the high 20s, Cinebench R23 doesn’t get past 74C with a Multi-Core score of 22,600.The only bad was that I was only able to position the cooler in a specific direction because the heat pipes and fins make contact with my RAM and Motherboard VRM heatsinks. My RAM is shorter than what is listed to work but it still makes contact with the cooler.I still would recommend 10/10My set up is a Asus TUF B760M WiFi Plus II with 13600K

This BARELY BARELY fit my older b365m pro4 board with an Intel i5-9400. It too me a while to figure out the right orientation for some reason.It's cold in my basement still but it's keeping it at 23C idle. And about 40C on full load. Even in the 2u chassis.Great price. Runs very quiet. Installation and mounting was very quick all in all, put backplate on, put standoffs on, put the 2 brackets on and tighten them up with nuts. Paste the cpu and screw on the cooler.Instructions are a little lacking but all needed info IS there.My NAS is rockin' now!

Cools my 5700x3d like it should on my 8L itx build. No complaints
