    Great guide for AM4 users! I’m using a Phantom Spirit, and it was similar enough I could follow your video. You answer so many questions the instructions didn’t address, like what direction the fans were blowing. This fan is a beast and was a needed upgrade for me after switching to a AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D. I went from 90°C in OCCT on my Cooler Master T2 to 64°C with this Phantom Spirit. Using an Asrock B450 Pro4.

    • @Veganarchy-Zetetic
      @Veganarchy-Zetetic 10 месяцев назад +2

      Having the 2 screws on top and bottom is MUCH better than having them either side. The top screw prevents the heavy cooler from sagging which happens with 2 side screws all the time.

  • @billrobert3226
    @billrobert3226 5 месяцев назад +1

    I wasnt sure what to do with direction until i noticed rubber pads and your video helped. Its possible to get those clips in without bending the heatsink fins, just slide up or down a c'hair at a time until it goes in perfect!

  • @RetroPiero
    @RetroPiero Месяц назад

  • @marshgod1346
    @marshgod1346 5 дней назад +2

    I'd like to point out that when installing this cooler, your motherboard may have 2 ports, "CPU Fan" and "CPU Opt". CPU Opt is where you can connect the second fan to instead of daisy chaining the 2 fans into one port. This is completely optional, however, it's something worth noting depending on what you're using the computer for.

So my question is, do I have to put that piece of iron at the back or do I not need it? So ? By the way, my motherboard is Asrock B550M Steel Legend. I will be really happy with your answer
