Description

Easy installation and a quiet fan

Thermal paste comes pre-applied, the Intel mount is fitted at the factory and the AMD kit is in the box. Spring-loaded screws press the cooler evenly onto the CPU. The CycloBlade7 fan focuses airflow onto the fins, and the manufacturer rates its noise at 30.11 to 34.1 dB. The top cover carries a laser-etched MSI dragon.

Who this CPU cooler is for

Builders of a white gaming or home PC who want something stronger than a stock cooler that is still easy to fit; owners of an Intel Core i7 or i9 or an AMD Ryzen on LGA 1700, LGA 1851, AM4 or AM5; and anyone who prefers air cooling without a pump or tubes.
