ID-COOLING SE-207-XT Slim 135mm Height All-Black CPU Cooler 7 Heat Pipes Dual-Tower CPU Air Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan TDP 220W, CPU Fan for Intel 1700/1200/115X, AMD AM5/AM4

Full disclosure: I never expected to make a review for this cooler, but it is simply that much of an improvement that I just had to. I used this cooler in a media PC build in a Thermaltake Core V1 case. Other reviews said it would fit, and it leaves just the right amount of room between the top cover, and a comfortable space between the back plate for a pair of 80mm case fans to still fit. I liked the simple mounting system, which used my existing backplate, and the two screws used to hold down the cooler are threaded smooth but snug, easy to tighten in an alternating fashion to more evenly distribute the force during installation. I was familiar with the fan clips, as the bequiet Dark Rock Pro 4 in my main rig uses basically the same type, so a little time and patience are all that will be needed for those new to such a thing. I was expecting a small boost in cooling performance and slightly quieter operation. I was not expecting to see the enormous difference this cooler made in both the drop in temperature and drop in noise from my simple Ryzen 5 5600X build. With the stock AMD Wraith Stealth cooler, I was seeing 43C at idle, 56-61C watching a video on YouTube, and 63-71C in 1080p games. With this SE-207-XT Slim, I now see idle temps at 30-31C, YouTube video temps at 35-36C, and gaming at 1080p between 36C and 43C, while I can now also comfortably game at 4K reaching only 41-56C. A full stress test caused me to see 56-58C averages with a 61C one time peak. I have since rectified the 61C peak using Curve Optimizer and now max out at 58C. I am absolutely blown away by the performance of this cooler and I have already purchased a second one, in snow, for a future Thermaltake Core V1 Snow build. Sorry I do not have screencaps of the high temps with the stock cooler. My environment is 73F ambient. Yes, the top panel of the Thermaltake Core V1 is a dust magnet and will attract particles with increasing ferocity every time it is cleaned.

I was having issues with very high cpu temps on certain games on my i5 10400f with the stock cooler. For example on rust I was getting temps of around 85-90 when game was running. After installing this cooler the highest I've seen my temps reach is 58 degrees. Installation was a little annoying but nothing major, took me about an hour all in. I'm very happy with this purchase excellent value for money and looks very clean inside the case. Highly recommend.

Simple Aesthetic, keeps my 3700x around 45° at under 32dms, good pick for larger ITX builds

Dieser CPU Kühler sitzt bei mir im HT/PC Gehäuse.Da er nur gut 12cm Hoch ist!! und mein Gehäuse bis 14 cm Höhe zulässt ist das genau der richtige Kühler!! Bin voll zufrieden mit der Leistung des Kühlers!!

L'ho scelto per il suo aspetto: mi piace questo richiamo a dissipatori dual tower ben più famosi. E' efficiente, fa il suo persino su di un 7800X3D, tenendolo a bada discretamente bene. Più avanti, forse, potrei pensare di sostituire la ventola con una più performante, ma dico la verità: va già bene così com'è. Per di più è anche bello compatto, con una altezza di soli 135 mm se non erro, che gli permette di essere installato anche su sistemi meno generosi in fatto di compatibilità, come ad esempio diversi case mini-itx. Mi ritengo soddisfatto: tolgo una stella per due ragioni, ossia la ventola (migliorabile come specifiche tecniche, ma non drammatica nell'uso quotidiano) ed il costo, che potrebbe essere più contenuto, vits al amrca non certo famosa qui in europa
