I own this cooler and am using it on my 7800x3d as I type this, at 1440p max settings 240hz 240 fps in witcher 3 I don't even break 54 celsius... this cooler is insane and comes well packaged, at this price it is an absolute steal. It even beats my thermalright frost commander 140 cooler by about 3 celsius across the board (and frost commander beats the Noctua NH-D15, just fyi). This is insane value.

I used MX-6 paste not the included paste, so I am not sure if this contributes to my extra cooler temps or not, but regardless $23 for a dual tower air cooler is a great deal of this quality, I remember when mine arrived earlier this year... I was shocked at how well packed it was, puts other companies to shame.

Anyways, saw this deal and thought I'd share cause it's a heckin good deal

a review:



97/100 from tweaktown

275w TDP is pretty good, only 5w off from PS120 EVO.
 
Never heard of PCCooler store. Are they anybody trustworthy?

Edit:
Oh, derp on my part. Looks like it’s the actual manufacturer.

I never heard of them either until earlier this year, but apparently they have been around for 20 years. I guess just more Asian country focused until recently, unless I just always missed them somehow. I got mine on sale for $32, cause I thought why not that cheap, just to toss the dice. I was stunned when it beat my Thermalright Frost Commander 140... (I used mx-6 paste for both coolers and ran the same tastes fresh)

this is from tweaktown, but mine also looked this well packed... honestly not sure how they are selling this at $23... its an insanely good cooler, it all felt high quality to me.

FC140 was a good cooler when it came out. But it was eclipsed by the Phantom Spirit series, quite handily too.

yeah, it is a shame that tweaktown review does not include any thermalright's, but the fact it is slapping a few 360mm AIO's on the ass is impressive regardless. also it depends on the platform, frost commander beats phantom spirit I believe on Intel based rigs, but phantom spirit beats frost commander in AMD rigs.

why anyone would ever do Noctua is beyond me. they just can't compete anymore for like 4-6 years now. people say, oh fan noise, or bla bla bla, quality... absolute nonsense, Noctua had a rattling problem with their most recent launch for one thing, and the fans on both my FC140 and RZ620 are quiet as can be, the RZ620 fans feel much higher quality than the thermalrights though, like they are genuinely heavy boi's when you pick them up and have vibration pads pre-installed... again kind of unheard of for $23...

I do disagree with Tom, saying the fans are loud on the FC140 though, even at like 80% fan speed they never bothered me in the slightest, I guess everyone has different sensitivity levels on these things, or my case is just isolating noise better than I realize.
 
If it had retro platform mountings (AM3, LGA2011, etc.) I'd buy at least 2.
Not bad if you need *something*. Still would lean towards Thermalright for a newer platform, though.

Sadly, Thermalright stopped including AM3/AM2 or LGA2011/1366 (Square ILM) mountings sometime after I got my PS120EVO. UpHere has been the only other company I've been finding w/ compatible coolers.

You can buy a bolt thru kit that allows you to do so.

Yessir, we are running AMD :D

I do have a nice little Intel itx board that can do up to a 14niner, but I will just sit on it some more. It has a beta bios on it now that lets you clock non K 12th gen parts, so I don't really want to mess with it atm.. future project :)
