Upgrade your AM4 processor for better performance.
Upgrade your AM4 processor for better performance.
We still have a few here that are excellent for tuning. I previously achieved HT speeds above 1500 with my setup, though the target range is around 1000. Yes, I once had the fastest unit on the market in benchmarks and verified its CPU speed as well. The only reason I no longer own it is because I transferred it to another teammate. Records outside my name within the same team (W9) were handled by my teammate. Here are the links:

Back to the main point: I understand older coolers will function, but there are minor variations between them. Sometimes they loosen or tighten when secured, but as long as they’re snug it works fine. Occasionally they’re extremely tight, yet performance remains acceptable. I’ve experienced this before—mainly due to clamping/unclamping issues, though everything else was normal.
