I’m sure it works, but it’s an 80mm cooler so I probably wouldn’t put it on anything more than a quad core CPU. And I would expect it to get quite noisy since it will have to spin faster to get decent cooling out of a tiny fan and heatsink.
If you want something super cheap but better than a stock cooler, I’d go for one of those larger $20 or less 120mm coolers.

>The Amazon Basics CPU cooler is true to it’s name, offering just 198W of cooling capacity when paired with Intel’s i9-13900K. While that’s not chart topping cooling capacity, it’s more than enough for the needs of common users who aren’t running a Core i9 and don’t plan to overclock. And the cooler runs whisper silent in all workloads.

Cooler Master makes all kinds of private label stuff for other brands. I wouldn’t put this on a brand new CPU, but if you needed to replace the cooler on your second build or a kid’s rig, this wouldn’t be the worst idea.

I don’t think I’d buy a cooler from them but I will say there are a lot of Amazon Basics that are great. If I revieced that for free I’d try it confidently but as far as cash money goes there is only the Peerless Assassin 120 for me.

I would guess this is going to do a reasonable job, but I would probably change the fan for 2 decent ones in push/pull

It’s just a relabeled Cooler Master cooler. It works fine but at 30$ you can get much better products so it’s not really worth thinking about.

Can’t really fuck up some copper rods and a fan
Hrmerder
It’s basic and it works. Essentially a wraith stealth right?
senorbolsa
4 heatpipes in direct contact with the CPU? for anything but the most power hungry processors this should perform just fine, well even.
Though Thermalright usually has something slightly better coming in at that price.
They are made by Cooler Master, so I am sure they “work.” It is going to be better than the fan Intel gives you, but you can get a much nicer one for the same price.
I think the conclusion was that it works, is better than a stock cooler, but worse than some other budget options at a similar price tier.

Imagine buying this and not the peerless assassin. LOL
Probably the same idiots that dont peel the sticker off the cpu heatsink.

It’s copper and aluminum. Nothing complicated. Fan might be a little on the chap side. Can always replace that. Just be sure to get a radiator that allows as big of fan as your case allows.
Eazy12345678
yes. but thermalright on amazon is better and cheaper.
FunFact5000
For that price, go peerless assassin 120 and f that Amazon basic crap. Machining is prob crap on there
Tht0n3Dude005
Thermalright coolers all the way for good budget fans. I just got a Phantom Gaming SE ARGB for 35.99 and its whisper quiet and keeps my 5800x overclocked at 61c under full load and idols at 38C.

Hyper212 Evo or peerless assassin. Even if it functioned for now, you probably wouldnt get the same lifespan/quality

Bring back the Thermalright True Copper. 2+ lbs of badassery

Some tech YouTuber will pick this up to make a video on it sooner or later I’m sure
niky45
“cooler master technology” so literally a rebranded (and maybe slightly cheaper) cooler master cooler.
still, that looks like an 80 or 92 mm fan, so… very smol, not really good. you want a 120 there (assuming it fits in your cage)
Lurkin_n_murkin
It’s literally just a smaller hyper 212.
obog
Looks like it would. But you can get better coolers for the same price

It’s a [Cooler Master Hyper H410R](https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/cpu-air-coolers/hyper-h410r/).
It isn’t great, but good for its size.

Is this the same one GamersNexus reviewed last year? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRe8zVCjCNw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRe8zVCjCNw)
