CRYORIG A40 Hybrid Liquid Cooler 240mm Radiator with Additional Airflow Fan

when I first unboxed it I was annoyed to see a couple of bent fins on the radiator. I decided it would get 4 stars or less depending on the cooling performance....I'm giving it five stars because this cooler preformed so well.When rendering video on my ryzen 5 with the stock cooler I was pushing 100 degrees celsiusWith this cooler it barely creeps above 60 degrees celsiusIt was easy to install. I took my gpu out, unplugged all the cables from my motherboard and took my motherboard out of the case to install it.I was annoyed at myself for doing that preemptively because I'm quite sure I could have installed it very easily without taking anything out of the case.The instructions were not the greatest. The bags of screws were labeled but the instructions did not refer to the labels so it was a matter of matching it based on the picture and then testing the threads.Still...40 degrees celsius cooler...this absolutely gets 5 stars.

Edit: Tiny fan fails to start up, literally needed to manually spin it to get it to startCan't go wrong with this cooler, comes with brackets to fit all existing Intel and AMD sockets and cable management is simplified to a single 4 pin header controlling all 3 fans. The radiator fans have rubber to dampen the fan noise, the actual radiator pump is dead silent. Only real issue is the tiny fan making a weird faint clicking noise, and it isn't the cable that was initially rubbing up against it.Cooling performance is pretty good so far across the board, but I've yet to try overclocking. I'm using a 6600kPretty stoked about trying out the R1 Ultimate sometime when another build comes along.

Was really easy to install. I like the little on CPU fan. It's part of the first computer I have ever built. Didn't have an issue with it. Works great.

The cooler works great in my Mid-tower case. I'm seeing temps 5+ degrees lower from the Ryzen 5600X stock cooler. This seller did not include the AM4 ring to attach it to my motherboard and wanted to charge over $10 for a replacement ring.
