ID-COOLING SE-903-XT Black 123mm Height CPU Cooler, 3 Direct-Contact Heat Pipes, 92mm PWM Fan, Mini CPU Air Cooler for Intel LGA1700/1851/1200/115X and AMD AM5/AM4 Sockets

This was my first time installing this kind of Cooler. It is a little more annoying than the kind that doesnt need you remove your motherboard to install the back plate but its worth it, and probably less annoying when building a new PC. But Anyways just pay attention to the instructions included, and make sure you install the brackets with the screws in the centers upwards, as this is what the radiator will attach to. And dont over tighten it. Just until it stops wiggling. My CPU was running IDLE at 60 degrees Celsius, and now runs much cooler at 40 Degrees Celsius. Even under it load doesnt get much hotter. I did make upgrades to my system, as it was a gift. I guess the new ram sticks, as they are technically mis-match, made my CPU run a little hotter despite a 12GB upgrade. The cool thing is that I can bring this to my next build if I want, but I most likely will just order another one since its pretty affordable. I definitely recommend this, I cant attest to overclocking or anything like that. But it fits what seems like every socket type, although I saw no mention of AM5 socket but if you know if AM4 and AM5 are similar in terms of screw placements, then this may not be bad, but if youre running DDR5 then you probably can afford a better cooler even water cooling anyways. This is my very first PC experience and honestly everything is idiot proof lol. My grandma probably could install this.

The media could not be loaded. Replaced my stock intel cooler which ran very loud. This is super quiet. Easy to install if you know PC. Looks Clean and the quality fells nice. Does the Job perfectly. It was a perfect size for my case that doesn't have much room.

I'm using this with a 7500F and it keeps my cpu at reasonable temps even under 100% usage.Its a little louder than I'm used to, and the clips that hold the fan onto the heatsink could be designed better (as it is they bend the fins of the heatsink).But overall its great for the price and I'm happy.

Great and economical fan, bought it after my last fan started to fail and this one went in perfect. The instructions could be more clear but if you’ve built a computer before you know what you’re doing

I purchased this for an i7-8700K that my 12yo son was installing in his spare computer, Overall the cooler is compact and seems to perform well for its size (I ended up using Arctic MX-4 instead of the included thermal paste), with the i7 idling around 32C. But the clips that hold the fan to the heatsink? Absolutely awful. I've installed this style of cooler before (a lot of Thermalright Assassins) so I am familiar with the concept, but the wire clips on this thing are too stiff, too loose, and continually fall/pop off while you're trying to maneuver it into place unless you hold them in position just right. My son simply wasn't able to get it attached without the clips falling out and I ended up having to help him. Even having installed many similar coolers in the past, I had to put the computer I/O shield down to let gravity help, and pull the GPU and RAM so I had full range of motion.If you really need a compact cooler this will do the job. But if you are thinking of buying it just because it is cheap and you need a budget cooling solution, save some frustration and grab a Thermalright Assassin instead.

Works perfectly as described 10/10 would buy again.

Makes a squeaking noise every few seconds... obviously defective. clips were horrible, the entire installation process was complicated, its noisy. this is just one terrible terrible cpu fan.

Good fan for small builds at a good price. Looks good, feels good. Keeps it cool.
