AMD Ryzen 5 & 7 CPU Cooler Round Up
Introduction
Over the past couple of weeks, everyone has been talking about Ryzen, whether it be overclocking potential, performance and the relative value of these new CPUs when compared to their nearest Intel equivalents.Â
Today we will be looking at a Ryzen, specifically into how easily Ryzen can be cooled in both stock and overclocked configurations. We have assembled a large selection of CPU coolers, all of which are compatible with AMD’s new Ryzen CPUs, with either native support out of the box or by using an aftermarket AM4 mounting kits.
