be quiet! Shadow Rock TF 2, 160W TDP, CPU cooler

The Ryzen 7 5800x is very inefficient. The per core load watts is far higher than the 6 core 5600x and the 12 core 5900x. My 5800x reaches about 140 watts under full load in heavy AVX loads such as Cinebench 20 vs about 155 watts for the 12 core Ryzen 9 5900x (17.5 for 5800x watts per core vs 13 for 5900x). My micro ATX case is limited in size and thus cannot accommodate the biggest fans, but I did get a hefty low profile Noctua tower cooler in, which was good but the CPU ran at the limits. i.e. just about cooled it at 90 degrees at full 140w load with all the case fans configured properly for inflow and outflow. The Cyrorig C7 CU G was a non starter with a 125w TDP and diminutive size. This fan is about 0.5cm from the top of the lid when installed and consumes about 33% of the motherboard in width and length. It looks huge in my case and is huge for my case and system, but it does the business. I get 71 degrees at 140w full load with lots of case fans configured properly for inflow and outflow. Without the fans, not so good. 90 degrees at 140w under full load without throttling, but it still cools the processor. It's a lot of metal for the price. It's good value too. Recommended. 5/5.

Have always been impressed with Be Quiet coolers. This one was for a new Ryzen 5 mATX build. Unfortunately the box arrived unprotected with only a plastic bag for wrapping. The box itself had been damaged and it appeared re-sealed with sellotape. Not willing to take the risk of mounting the cooler after it's been delivered in poor shape. Sent back for a replacement. Hopefully it will be delivered in better shape this time.Update: Replacement cooler arrived and installed with relative ease. A noticeable improvement on the stock cooler. Runs nice and quiet on idle but not as quiet as I'd like when gaming. Still a good and solid cooler.

Overall great cooling but the fact that it blocks my ram... I have to take it off to change my ram and it’s pain in the a. Surely it provides some cooling to the ram but not necessary...

I have an AMD Ryzen 2700 in a LianLi HTPC case. This cooler is quite low and fits into the case with room to spare. Gaming temps are down from a peak of 59 with the stock AMD cooler to a peak of 39 with this - and the extra air has dropped the vrm's 10c as well. It is inaudible. Lovely.

Pc running a lot cooler now

Bought this for a SFF build. Coolermaster NR200. On mini itx motherboard. You have to plan the fitment before, so attach to motherboard first fixings can be fiddly. Overhangs the DDR ram. Happy with product and good quality.
