95W should cover a lot of lower to mid-range CPU’s operating at their stock frequencies, 125W on the other hand really aligns with slightly overclocked mid-range processors or even higher-end ones running up their stock speeds, and 150W is a level that we know a lot of entry-level CPU coolers won’t be able to handle, but at the same time if one of them does they get a gold star. To do that, we are going to be using a new test system for entry-level coolers in a closed case using a Ryzen 9 5950X that has been modified to run at three different thermal loads.

But at the same time, you also have to remember that this engineering has lasted the test of time, so obviously there has got to be something to it, especially since you guys are all recommending that we look at this again in 2021. It’s meant to basically replace your stock cooler, give you lower temperatures and less noise, and do so at an attractive prices.

Due to the design limitation, the AM4 upgrade kit is only compatible with the new Hyper 212 LED. The AM4 bracket it came with looked very much like an afterthought, was difficult to install, and forced me to install the cooler in the vertical orientation (see pics, don't laugh - this.
