SE-214-XT ARGB CPU Cooler 4 Heatpipes CPU Air Cooler Addressable RGB Light Sync with Motherboard(5V 3-PIN Connector) CPU Fan for Intel/AMD, LGA 1700 Compatible

A Good cooling fan and works pretty well, low noise and easy to put. Come with thermal paste

A very good value cooler; it keeps my CPU much cooler compared to my previous one. Cooling my AMD Ryzen 5 5600 to around 38°c-45°c at idle depending on the room temperature. The installation of the heatsink was simple, but fan was rather annoying to clip on using the supplied metal clips; though it worked out in the end. The fan is very quiet even at higher loads, but that is compared to my previous one which is basically a jet engine at higher loads. The Fan has RGB but since my b450 Tomahawk Max motherboard has no place to connect it, I unfortunately can't use the it and can only use the fan as a normal fan without lights; Otherwise it works perfectly. Time will tell how long the fan lasts, but any regular120mm PWM fan is probably compatible (you just clip it on with the metal clips onto the heat sink). Overall, a very good cooler that does the job well and doesn't break the bank.

Usually not a fan of RGB, but the lights are fine and look good inside of my case. It also acts as a bit of reassurance that it turns on when I boot up my PC. I bought this fan because it was cheaper and will just work with my CPU, MoBo configuration. Installation was easy, just follow the instructions on the manual. The screws did initially give me a bit of trouble. This was my first time building a PC so I was nervous if I was doing something wrong, but what you need to do is apply more pressure down on the screws to make sure that they go into the holes on both sides (make sure that you so them evenly) as they are spring-loaded. Temps on my CPU I have no complaints. My Ryzen 7 5700x stays very cool on idle and doesn't get hot when gaming. Noise levels is hardly noticeable, even when sitting right next to it. Only real complaint I'll give with the installation is how fiddly it is installing the fan onto the heatsink. Idk how it is with other coolers of a similar form factor, but it something that I found stressful as a first time builder.

Keeps temps under 80 degrees with 4.2ghz Ryzen 5 3600 max load

Perfect as described and keeps my ryzen 5 7600 as cool as 55 degrees fits perfectly is great value for my new and the quality is next level. Overall a very good and functional purchase

I watched a couple of comparison videos of entry level CPU coolers and this cooler had the same thermal profile as the Hyper 212 which costs over 50 pounds. It was a bit fiddly to install, but I love tinkering with my PC so wasn't an issue for me. Qualitywise I'm super impressed and it looks great as well. With the stock cooler my i7 was running hot under load (85-90C) and my PC horribly noisy too. After installing the SE-214 my PC is so much more quiet and my CPU is running cool, idle around 25-35C, under load 50-65C. For full transparency, I didn't use the provided thermal paste, I used Arctic mx4 paste.

Good cooker and easy to install however on description it said thermal paste was preapplied, it came in sachet and me believing it was preapplied didn’t look at the sachet and binned it now I have to buy thermal paste

I received this cooler today and was half expecting something wrong with it after reading loads of reviews on here saying this is broken or this is bent, but everything was absolutely fine after removing it from the box and checking it over. I haven't actually fitted it yet but intend to shortly. As well as this SE-214-XT i have already purchased the SE-914-XT. The reason i bought both is i have a Asus Motherboard with a 5600G with a Wraith Cooler which i intended to replace, i have also bought a Gigabyte B550-M DS3H and a Ryzen 5 5600X which i will be putting the 214 on and then the 914 on the 5600G. My case is full of lights so thought why not have one on the CPU Cooler as well. Everything seems pretty straightforward so looking forward to trying both. Update Just fitted this and running excellent, got the argb running with Gigabyte Fusion and working as it should. It's surprised me how quiet it is. For £20 who am i to complain. A Definite step up from the Wraith i was using before.
