You put the fan clips on the wrong hole. Hook the curved prong onto the outer holes so the scoop lines up with the groove closest to the fan. It should be a solid and wiggle free grip. This is an extremely awesome cooler. iD-Cooling has really stepped up.
Not sure if you have the rgb version or not but I recently bought the non-rgb version for this model and I have different clips. They’re longer in depth and do exactly the same way you mentioned on how to install them. Nice snug fit. It feels satisfying when everything is tight and snug
I can see this kewler being really popular, both for the price and ease of installation. Shame about the RGB (cough) but brilliant for PC flippers. Thanks Mike and Kath 🙂
Nice clear video Mike. You’re a useful chap to follow! I do agree with the use of Arctic paste though. Whilst the included stuff is fine for a one off or first time build. Having a stick of mx-4/5 to hand always takes an unknown variable out of the picture! Sometimes the included stuff reminds me of the crusty bit of toothpaste stuck around the opening of the tube 😂
Trying to recall how i installed dters 224 version but like this 214 seemed straightforward ... i know its age my mem terrible lol Good value imo albeit i bought the black non rgb which was nice finish. Thanks for reviewing Mike and Kath 👍
I do 3 turns the first screw, then 6 the other. Then I do 6 until it's done. And I really count them precisely. Yeah, I know I am a little obcessive.. 😁
Hello Mike! I am going to use the cooler for my AMD 5600g , what direction do you suggest the actual fan goes in? Does it include a instruction manual? My apology for this vague question but I’d like to ask before purchasing, Thank you so much!
it includes a manual and i would suggest installing it in the direction shown in the manual i can't see any benefit why you would change the default configuration really
Great video. I just ordered these fans but can’t find a 3 pins on my motherboard. My motherboard is the asus rog strix b550-f gaming. Would it be safe to just leave the rgb cable?

I have that same cooler coming in tomorrow from Amazon US. Paid $19.99 for it. Great review as always from the Dynamic Duo. Take care. Cheers
Great shopping Rick.
awesome price for a decent cooler
Same mine didn’t come with that black bracket made for am4
I had one of these on my 5600X, worked great!! Cheapest cooler I've ever used. The mounting should have been the same as their 224XT unit.
yeah i know

oh gross 😂
I gave a like bc I like the cooler; no AM4 plans at the moment. (I also enjoy hearing Mike's voice ) :)
haha good on you

Great video thanks Mike. Merry Christmas Mike and Kath.

Hello Mike!
I am going to use the cooler for my AMD 5600g , what direction do you suggest the actual fan goes in?
Does it include a instruction manual? My apology for this vague question but I’d like to ask before purchasing,
Thank you so much!
it includes a manual and i would suggest installing it in the direction shown in the manual i can't see any benefit why you would change the default configuration really
@@mikesunboxing thank you so much, noted!
would you recommend this for a amd 5 5600x ? Should i buy se224xt or this ; are there any big differences ? thank you.
this will be fine
Great video. I just ordered these fans but can’t find a 3 pins on my motherboard. My motherboard is the asus rog strix b550-f gaming. Would it be safe to just leave the rgb cable?
There should be a couple of argb headers on that board
@@mikesunboxing sorry it was the b450 f gaming instead. I only see 4 pin 12v connections
Hi! Would you recommend it for a Ryzen 7 5800x?
it will be okay in general but that CPU has a temptation to use a lot of voltage, i would consider undervolting it a bit
all things from the video are included in the box ?
yes should be
I have the same fan but mines it does work and the led light does too but it won’t spin how can I fix it

how can you turn on rgb on this i just builted a pc and i used this cooler but mine doesn't light up ?
it should be plugged into the motherboard argb header or a argb controller if your case has one
would you reccomend this for a i5 13600k ?
no sorry 240mm aio or 140mm tower really
i’m on amd helping my friend with his first build, the brackets on the top or different, all the videos show a black bracket and we got 2 medal brackets
maybe head over to the discord chat and we might be able to figure it out
You were right
Would you still recommend this one? For a Ryzen 7 5700X
hmm maybe, sort of on the edge there
What's happened? Did you buy this one for that CPU? How's it going?
@@jeff_gone yeah its doing a really good job compared to my old default CPU fan and for a Low price, CPU fan
Thanks
I'll probably be switching out the stock cooler that came with the ryzen 5 5500 and be using this 😁
good cooler and decent price
i have a ryzen 9 5900x.
would this be powerful enough or shall i go for a peerless asassain 120?
great vid btw
you might need to go even larger for rendering or a lot of all core loads, go big if you can
@@mikesunboxing any recommendations for 20-30 quid?
what do I do if my motherboard doesn't have an rgb header?
you can get separate ARGB controllers
What is the TDP rating on this one Mike?
150w
@@mikesunboxing thank you.
im about to treat myself to a few upgrades my CPU and GPU for around Christmas time is a X570 much better than B450 2
x570 is the peak of flexibility for growing into with all the PCIe lanes and no real compromises
Can you mount this in vertical airflow position?
not on am4, intel should be okay though
@@mikesunboxing bummer. Do you know any coolers that work that way?Thanks for the reply
does the coller come with thermal paste?
yes it does
@@mikesunboxing thanks
My fan clips look different. I can't put the fan

I don’t have a am4 bracket
for the top or back?
stress test?
that is in the review, this is just an install guide
My motherboard has a 4 pin 12vgrb header while the fan came with a 3pin header. Do I need an adapter for the led to work?
yes you do, or a separate ARGB controller like the gamemax one we reviewed ages aggo
Motherboard?
what about it? let me know what you need to know
Why is mine stuck on a yellow colour
damaged cable maybe? you didn't mention what you are plugging into
@@mikesunboxing well it used to be RGB then all a sudden one day it just stuck to yellow should I try re wiring it

@@ggzyt_livitup3898 Good luck
Not good detail at all lol
in what way? if you described the problem, it would help for future videos
Hi! Would you recommend it for a Ryzen 7 5700G?
Yeah perfect
@@mikesunboxing Thank you for the quick response!
