AXP90 X36

I'm impressed with this cooler. Keeps my Ryzen 5 5500 nice and cool. Not that they 5500 uses much power to begin with, but under full load in a small form factor pc, the highest temp I saw way 72 C, which is really not bad in my book. I upgraded to a Noctua NF-A9 PWM and haven't seen the temps get above the low 60s. Very happy with it. Fits perfect inside my SGPC K39 case even with the full 25mm thick fan.

Well made. Low profile is great for certain builds, like in 1 or 2u cases.

Great low profile cooler that does the job well and is pretty quiet.

I got one of these in 2023 and it was a bit weird of a design how the fan is attached to the heatsink, but it worked. It worked fine until 2025 where it spun out a bearing and slowed down to 300rpm from 2900 rpm. I did check for dust and there was nothing slowing it down. I had to get another one, but we shall see if this one lasts longer than 2 years. 3 stars because of the amount of time it lasted.

If you are like me you have been reading the reviews and are uncertain if this works with AM5 or not...well it does mostly. The instructions were terrible but it did fit after some guesswork. The video I posted shows how I did it (you do not have to remove the motherboard backplate) After it was installed though it works as described. Keeps my 7600 under max temp even overclocked on full load. Is definitely loud so you may need to adjust fan curves, but the small size footprint is great for my needs! Only remove a start because of the confusion instruction!

Worked great for my needs and also it used it for my am5 ryzen 7 7700 and it works perfectly and is pretty simple to put onto the motherboard.

Best low-profile cooler out there. Price, performance, noise, ease of installation, Thermalright essentially does everything right with its low-profile coolers! You can further improve the noise and performance with a Noctua fan swap, or add ARGB by swapping to an ID Cooling 92mm slim fan, but the only better heatsink out there is a Thermalright full-copper! Really, if you are building a space-constrained or small form factor PC, there is no reason to look at anything other than a Thermalright cooler!

It does what I need it to do. I paired this up with a Ryzen 5700g in an old, very cramp itx case. I upgraded the guts of it from an old AMD A8 with a Zalman CNPS80f to what I mentioned. Space between processor to DVD player leaves very little room for even low profile heatsinks to breath. Anyway, for how small it is, it does the job well. It does prevent the processor from throttling when running at full load. Though you will hear it at that point. The PC is used as my HTPC in my semi truck through the years. This heatsink does it's job well. And the Ryzen 5700g is the highest I could use for that heatsink. That, and overkill for an HTPC setup. I did try playing games like Cities Skylines 2, and the heatsink keeps it from throttling. And this is with little space between fan and DVD player. But despite this, it still will be around 80c and fans blaring. So....if wanting this heatsink for gaming...get a case with a bit more space and the larger version of this heatsink....or what ever that is bigger than this. This will do the job if just watching movies, streams, and many tabs in browser open.
