I like very much on how you thoroughly explain step by step most other KZfaq creators that are doing what you are doing they don’t dive in and explain what they are doing that much and some of them talk so very fast I have to rewatch it over and over so thank you for you doing what you do and I support your channel and I am subscribed to your channel and I always hit like because I do like what you were doing and how you explain step-by-step what you are doing. Only one thing that you are missing when you are talking about cpu coolers. You are not telling us the watts that the cpu cooler is rated for a cpu, example my i5 11th gen 11600k intel told me that when you are buying a cpu cooler you need to know the watts that the cpu puts off because that will determine which cpu cooler you will need to get so your cpu won’t overheat. Mine is 125 watts so I have to buy a cpu cooler that is rated at 125 watts or higher and I learned that the hard way. The cpu fan that I bought for my cpu was very much underrated and it was not even close to 100 watts and it killed my cpu that cost me about $300 and had I known this I would have bought the proper cooling for my cpu and I got lucky intel did replace my cpu and I bought a cooler that’s rated at 195 watts and it cools my cpu so very good that the fan most of the time I never hear it running and the cpu temperature has been staying below 70c when it’s over clocked and under a heavy load from a game that I love to play World of Warships I highly recommend that game only if you are into battleships etc. But I do and will keep watching your fan videos but please let us know the watts of a cpu cooler that you are reviewing. Thank you

Interesting that it beats their own AXP-120. Thanks for the review, been looking for more low-profile cooler reviews

You're doing great work Erik, really appreciate these less talked about component reviews.

Nice review. I was surprised ThermalRight did not use a newer design 9 blade fan such as their TR TL-C12 Pro G​. Spins slightly slower, (1890 RPM) at the same noise level but with a more pleasant tone and no annoying hum at max RPM. I compared this cooler against the Noctua L12 Ghost Edition with a top mounted 120mm fan (and bottom 92mm fan removed) with a variety of 120mm fans. Being thicker, it cooled my Ryzen 4750G Pro up to 6 degrees cooler than the Noctua. It is almost 9mm taller than the Noctua, but is both narrower & shorter in length than the Noctua giving it more space in tight fitting cases. It should provide better cooling than 92mm tower coolers often used in cases such as the Sliger S610 with 128mm available cooler height or the Lazer 3D LZ7 XTD at 132mm.

Heard a friend that removed the central wire support, not "obligatory", and used a slim fan under it, to fit in ~80mm clearance cases. And still gets 35mm RAM clearance this way, fit for some Lpx corsair, kingston hyperX, or any vlp kits. Awesome

thanks for the review... im using it on my ZZAW B6, mini itx, with a i5-12400, I like the orientation, because it pulls air directly from outside. I keep the rpm alaways at 1000rpm, its dead quiet... also it blows air directly to the motherboard, keeping PCH, VRM, and NVME ssds cooler.

I have found a use for this cooler, server boards in small tower cases. My nas uses a supermicro x9scm-f motherboard which has numerous things that stick up that would prevent a lower profle cooler from being used, at least those still big enough to handle my quad core xeon quietly. The cpu socket on this board is in a very ususual place far over to the right and shifted down with the 4 dimm slots above and is turned 90 degrees from normal, so the cooler has to stick out towards the front of the matx dell case i have to use for the moment, meaning i have to remove the cpu fan and both my hard drives and then snake my arm through the tiny space to get to my dying arctic p12 front fans , but it clears my side panel (which a 120mm tower or even some 92mm wouldnt likely do comfortably) and provided plenty of airflow for the vrm's and the memory. i have noticed lower memory temperatues with this cooler compared to the intel stock cooler (these ecc dimms have temp sensors). I have noticed that the TL-E12 fan this cooler uses seems to a special variant that runs at 2000rpm. The standalone tl-e12 according to thermalrights website only runs at 1500rpm max. The one on this cooler runs at 2000rpm according to the website and the amazon listing and my own findings, which one is it, or is it both, questions like these keep people up at night thinking?

I have 2 sticks of D41 Spectrix from XPG with 45.8mm tall, so according to your data it’ll fit? It’s paired in a X99 motherboard

I’m sorry I missed it you did show the watts. I’m so very sorry 😞

have it paired a 5800x 3d. does the job, a little soundy.........

You can install this over the I/O instead of the RAM.
