Thermalright AXP90 X36 Black Low Profile CPU Cooler, with 92mm TL-9015B Slim PWM Fan, ITX CPU Cooler, AGHP Technology, 36mm Height,for AMD AM4 AM5/Intel 1150/1151/1155/1851/1200/1700(AXP90 X36 Black)

Currently used to cool a Ryzen 5 4600G. I have it in a METALFISH S3 MINI ITX case. It can get a little loud, but that's to be expected for such a small fan and heatsink. That said, I'll take noise over thermal throttling.

Wanted to build my first Pc out of an old Compaq computer case. Not a lot of room for a tall CPU cooler in that case so I got this one. Works great, cools the cpu like it’s supposed to, and was easy to install. Super quiet as well which is good since it’s a home computer for my parents to browse and watch home videos.

Really slick CPU fan. It looks nice, keeps my CPU cool...just does the job.

Instructions for AM5 socket were poor, but I was able to puzzle it out fiddling with the pieces provided. It turns out a taller heatsink would have fit, but this one works fine for my 65w CPU.

Easy to install and gives plenty of clearance for projects. This would have made building my mini-ITX much easier to build, but I bought this for a Mac G4 build. For such a big case, there is absolutely no room for an after market air cooler. I thought I was going to have to use an AIO and get even more creative. Then I cam across this low profile cooler made for just this reason. The ergonomics of the Mac G4 case does not lend itself well for a PC conversion build or adequate cooling with the motherboard placement on the swing-down door. It had previously toasted an AMD build that was always running hot and stock cooler fan running full tilt. With a few case modifications, new motherboard and chip, this things runs nice and cool when all put together. Low 30's with an Intel i3 chip, and that is with absolutely no room in the case to breathe when everything is buttoned up.

I recently installed this CPU cooler on my LGA 1700 system, and I was pleasantly surprised by how simple the process was. Despite coming with a full set of mounting brackets, I didn’t even need them—just the small mount screws and bolts were enough to secure it properly. This made the installation much easier and less of a hassle compared to other coolers that require complex bracket setups.In terms of performance, it keeps my CPU temperatures well under control, even under heavy loads. The fan is quiet, and the overall build quality feels solid. If you're looking for a cooler that’s easy to install and works efficiently, this one is a great choice. Highly recommend!

I'm on my 3rd try, tearing down and installing this absolutely terrible cooler and almost ready to put it in the case again but wanted to take a breather because if I have one more issue, I'm gonna flip! Like many reviewers, I too couldn't understand the terribly written instructions. And this is NOT a typical install. You bolt it down from the back? Torque specs included!?? Nope. Worrisome since it also doesn't seat properly to the bracket and is bowed, due to me have no clue how tight it should have been and my "best guess" bent the arms. I would have returned it an hour ago if I would have had time to order a new one- and due to limited options with this form factor and slim mATX case. I do not recommend at all... I mean, can you imagine a simple re-application of thermal paste requiring a complete tear down? I'm sure I won't forget but got a note ready! They tried to reinvent the wheel and failed miserably.

The AXP90 is an amazing low profile CPU cooler and for the price it is completely unbeatable. Wherever you simply cannot use a tower cooler (because of height restrictions) or don't want to invest in an AIO, this cooler will suit your needs well.The Good:Cooling - For coolers with appropriate wattage, about 90W or below, the AXP90 will keep them cool, with the idle temps of lower draw chips, such as the Ryzen 5600G, being only slightly above ambient. Even running a full core workload at 100% the chip will be nowhere near thermal throttling.Noise - The fan used here, despite its size, is nearly silent. Even when almost completely open in the side of a Deskmini X300 I cannot hear it at all past a couple feet away from it; the fridge in the kitchen makes more ambient noise despite being half a house away.Price - I don't think you can get better for $23. Out the door for $25 with tax, having a low profile cooler be effective and quiet for less than half the cost of a competing Noctua option is enormous; I'd never pay twice the amount for something that can't do much better.The Bad:Mounting - The mounting, while being part of the nature of low profile options, is definitely tedious and you need to be prepared to replace the backplate to make this work. Unlike a lot of AM4 coolers which use the backplate already, this cannot. So be mindful of the order of assembly or you'll be forced to mount the cooler in-case behind a mess of wires (be real, you didn't cable manage)!Overall, I am very satisfied and would definitely recommend the AXP90 to anyone needing a low profile CPU cooler, limited budget or otherwise.
