Thermalright SI-100 WHITE ARGB CPU Air Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes,120mm PWM Quiet Fan ARGB CPU Cooler with 2000RPM Speed,for AM4/AM5,Intel lga1150/1151/1200/1700/1851/2011, 110mm Hight PC Cooling

I recently upgraded my mobo (AsRock B760M Pro)/processor (LGA 1700) and the cpu cooler I ordered would not fit due to to clearance issues with vram coolers.After trying to find a suitable low profile cooler at sensible price I found this one. I had previously purchased some Thermalright 120mm fans and was very impressed with them so decided to go for this.Packaging is good quality, consisting of a cardboard box and foam padding. Fitting was straightforward and the only issue was the cooler block was slightly twisted. A small adjustment straightened it out.It's early days, but he cooler is quiet and works well (I am not overclocking).For under £25 this is an incredible bargain in my opinion.

I bought this CPU cooler for my homelab server. I have a Dell t3600 that runs multiple VMs, the Standard CPU cooler isn’t up to the task and the server would constantly sound like a jet engine, then eventually power off. Due to height constraints with the case, I couldn’t use a tower cooler (even a 92mm item) so I decided to use this cooler. The results are amazing, it’s 20c cooler at idle and when the server is busy and there is load on the CPU it’s still 15c cooler, and that’s with the Fan at a single speed as PWM fans do not understand Dell’s PWM implementation, so I bought a PWM variable fan controller to power the fan.I’m so impressed with this CPU cooler, I’m actually thinking of removing the watercooling from my gaming pc and replacing it with one of these.I definitely recommend this to cool you CPU

Brilliant. Took my ryzen 5600 from 76 degrees with stock cooler while gaming to 55 degrees with this cooler. Nice bonus is air blows on the ram too

I purchased the Thermalright SI-100 Black CPU Air Cooler to replace my existing cooler in my server due to its low profile design. After researching, I replaced the standard fan with the thinner version of the fan and was impressed with the results.The cooling performance has been exceptional, even under heavy loads. My 14600K processor runs smoothly and quietly, which is exactly what I needed for a server environment.

I upgraded the CPU in an HP Omen PC to a RYZEN 5 5600X which really needed a better cooler than the 'Intel' one fitted. Yes, I say Intel cooler was fitted because that's a sort of weird quirk of HP machines with AMD CPUs. Fortunately this cooler comes with both fitting kits. I did have to get a bit creative to make it fit. You can't use the HP backplate you have to remove the motherboard and fit the cooler supplied Intel backplate.Sorry, I did not take a photo but it looks much 'cooler' than the old Omen cooler.I do recommend upgrading the CPU in this machine plus this cooler. I took the RAM to 16GB and removed the hard drive and replaced the NVMe with 1TB. This got much better performance from the HP RTX 3060 which is still worth keeping.

Unit is actually over 112mm tall including the fan, not 100mm as advertised.That might be enough to need a return from me :( I need to dry fit to work out whether there is enough space for the fan to pull air in from.

I sent the item back at it was very difficult for me to install it plus the screws didn't grab properly into the motherboard

I am only using on a 10th gen i5 so I can't comment on high end i9s or Ryzen 9s. But does a great job. Very easy to install... No silly clips like some other coolers. Just screw down bracket. Is very quiet and good clearance. I would imagine if your running a slightly higher CPU I would go for the tower version.
