Hey guys, welcome to another Balanced thread~

Update after installation and testing.
......---->>> this cooler is very hard to install. I struggled with it for almost 30 minutes. And when i wanted to take it out after installing, it was another level of difficulty. I had to use quite some force to force the clip out, i was afraid i might crush my cpu, break the amd stock plastic bracket or worse, break the motherboard.. whoever designed the brackets needs to rethink the design.

---performance is excellent. Overclocked my cpu from 3.5ghz to 4.0ghz, and my apu from 1100mhz to 1615mhz and ran prime95 and furmark. System stable and this is not even the max. Max temperature at 76°C (room temp 26°C) during 30 minutes torture test.

Due to the cooler bracket design, i would not recommend this cooler to newbies with amd processor. Intel yes, it is easier to install.

Todei i will talk about the best performance budget low profile cpu cooler u can buy..according to my research lol. Not include those china brands ya.

The scythe choten!!

Who should buy?
1. Those with limited casing size. Cooler height only at 120cm.
2. Those who wan quiet performance. Cooler max noise only at a low low 24.9dBA when max.
3. Those who want good cooling performance. <80°C for our weather with high overclocked cpu (according to many reviews)
4. And finally, its cheap at only RM139.
5. Fan with fluid dynamic bearings.
6. Those with tall rams
7. Those who wan to keep the vrams and other motherboard components cool.

Drillzz. My performance results wise wait ahh.. I want eat dinner first.

Lol ok.jpeg.

Scythe is a good brand la.

D9L slightly lower cooling performance, at double the price compared to scythe choten. How is that better?

Which model? My casing only can go max 152cm, and i prefer top flow air flow due to cool my vram also

Ya lagi cheap. But its big and tall. Cannot fit my compact casing

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

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
