this is not low profile at all

This scythe choten keep skin. poor bracket who buy who regret later.

if you buy ryzen 3600 and up, it's better to get a 6 heatpipe cooler, so there is direct contact to a pipe to the sides.
4 heatpipe cooler usually doesn't cover to the side enough.

if no budget can just use amd wraith prism that come with their processor, performance actually not that bad as it could outperform cyorig h7 with 12cm fan

even hardocp said that if you dont plan to OC or just OC a little, it is likely be all the cooler you ever need. I guess the same cant be said to intel stock cooler

Yeah my previous is cm hyper 212. Cannot fit, thats why bought this

Yes the choten has 6 pipes

I plan to overclock my apu from 3.5ghz to 4.0ghz and the gpu from 1040mhz to 1600mhz.

So thats why bought an aftermarket cooler. And must push the air down to cool down the vram also

Yes i struggle with it a long time.. damn whoever design the bracket needs to get fired. And i cant get it out once i fix it. Must use very hard force...even afraid i might break the motherboard or the motherboard's plastic bracket. Gosh...really facepalm. Will update my first post

heatpipes only give you one or 2 hours max at full speed though ...

and minuses
Costs 5 - 10x price of budget coolers
Weighs a lot compared to budget coolers (watch out for die crush)
Overclocking doesn't go as far as it used to (even 10+% for Ryzen is pushing it).

I think we are already at the point where the best you can go is one category higher through overclocking, example: overclock a 3600 you'll get performance close to stock 3600x (just an example).

Overclocking really looking like expensive, low-return activity. Personally I just recommend a budget cooler and stay within stock, unless you have the money to replace the processor.

I use scythe mugen 5 to cool of my Ryzen 2700x .So far so good.Really recommend it since it easy to install n really quite cooler

Not quite. Red where hottest area, blue cool area, green in between.

I got my apu from 3.5ghz to 4.0ghz (15% increase) and my gpu from 1100mhz to 1615mhz (45% increase). System is stable after torture test, max temp at 76°C. Can still increase, but i will stop here for now

I use Fractal Design Node 304. Can fit my old Cooler Master TPC-812 (165mm tall). Core i5-9600K at 4.7Ghz 71C max. Didn't push even more cause my power supply is Corsair SF450 with GTX 1070.

OK keep monitoring it, electromigration is an issue the smaller the node size. Let us know when it stops booting properly
