5 Best CPU Coolers for LGA 1700 and AM4 Sockets

In contrast to the Tray version, the Box and MPK CPU packages (beautiful colored and gray cardboard box, respectively) are equipped with simple coolers. The only exceptions are Intel Core chips with index K and KF, i.e. with unlocked multiplier and manual overclocking capability. https://jiji.ng/165-paint/satin It will not be possible to cool them with a small block of aluminum. But even for less hot processors the standard cooler out of the box is a questionable choice: noisy and working close to overheating (80 degrees Celsius). Those who like complete silence in the room should rather trust an inexpensive single-tower cooler, and fans of "icy temperatures" – a double-tower super cooler. This term refers to models that are able to dissipate more than 200 W of heat. True, and their price is accordingly high – $100 , only water cooling systems are more expensive. But A-brand coolers (German, Austrian and Taiwanese) are gradually abandoning the LED backlighting – strict ascetic design is back in fashion. But if you still want RGB, your lot – B-brands from China.

Noctua NH-L9i-17xx and NH-L9a-AM4 – for Ultra Compact PC

  • Total height of only 37mm, compact size for full RAM and PCIe compatibility on ITX motherboards
  • Includes NT-H1 thermal paste and easy-to-install SecuFirm2 mounting system for AM4 socket AMD Ryzen processors and hybrid processors.
  • Best choice for AMD Ryzen processors and hybrid processors with moderate heat load (e.g. 5600, 4750G, 4650G, 4600G, see compatibility list)

Noctua’s NH-L9i-17xx and NH-L9a-AM4 are a pair of sweet low-profile CPU coolers, the former for 12th-generation (and upcoming 13th-generation) Core processors and the latter for Ryzen. Both are 37mm tall, which is a centimeter lower than Intel’s boxed cooler and a half lower than AMD’s Wraith Stealth. Such small dimensions are achieved by using 14mm-thick fan on SSO2 self-stabilizing bearing. It is backed by the highest possible 6-year warranty.

The kit includes screws for mounting an alternative thick 9cm diameter swivel table. At equal speeds, it pumps more air volume per unit time. And in general, the delivery set of these mini coolers is royally rich. It includes LNA resistor to reduce max rotational speed from 2500 rpm to 1800 rpm. And a tube of branded thermal paste NT-H1. And a thick metal plate with Noctua logo, which you can proudly attach to the front panel of the PC case (other manufacturers are usually limited to a flat sticker).

Black-painted version of the cooler Chromax.Black (there are modifications for socket Intel LGA 1150-1200, LGA 1700 and AMD AM4) is a little more expensive, but additionally equipped with a height adjustable air intake Noctua NA-FD1 . It allows it to draw cool air from the outside of a Mini-ITX or Thin-ITX PC case instead of trapping heat from other PC components inside.

Pros:

  • Lower than Intel and AMD boxed coolers
