DEEPCOOL AG300 CPU Cooler 1x 92mm Fan, 129mm Clearance, Support Intel LGA 1851/ 1700 / 1200 / 1151 / 1150 / 1155, AMD AM5 / AM4

Got this cooler for my i3-12100f and my temps have gone from 50-60 degrees idle with stock cooler to 20-30 degrees idle. With Cpu at 100% use on Cinebench for 10mins only got to 62 degrees max. All games ive played have only seen it hit mid 60s at most. Would recommend. Got this cooler for my i3-12100f and my temps have gone from 50-60 degrees idle with stock cooler to 20-30 degrees idle.

Pretty frustrating experience trying to get this to fit my motherboard. The plastic adapter fit fine onto the cooler itself, but when attached to the motherboard the pasted part sits on the CPU too low, meaning the clips on the side can't reach the plastic adapter that attaches to the mobo. Wasted a lot of paste thinking I was doing something wrong, but in the end just had to return it.
I'm sure it's fine for the price if it actually fits your setup. Pretty frustrating experience trying to get this to fit my motherboard.

My 7600 CPU would get to 85 degrees and crash during 3d mark benchmark runs(CPU load section) with this it gets to 70 max under full load in a small front to back itx case.

I would recommend this .
It mounts to the am5/am4 factory black fan clips which I still had in a box. A bit tricky if you are in a small case. I had to remove my graphics card and push aside my power supply to fit it. Careful not to bend the fins..

It works great for a 65watt am5 CPU. My 7600 CPU would get to 85 degrees and crash during 3d mark benchmark runs(CPU load section) with this it gets to 70 max under full load in a small front to back itx case.

I have a 5700x which use to run at 85-90 degrees under load, with this fan it now runs at 60-70. However the design of this thing is absolutely absurd. I have to literally smash this thing down into the ground in order for it to barely fit in the mounting bracket. Good fan, but the fact that it doesn't come with its own bracket really brought it down a lot. I have a 5700x which use to run at 85-90 degrees under load, with this fan it now runs at 60-70.

Challenge was a youngest son with a borrowed processor that he needed to keep cool - and none of his own funds. This item is a great price/performance trade-off although as other people have noted it was a challenge to install the cooler unit onto the bracket, which needed quite a lot of downforce. The mobo was out of the case anyway so it went on an anti-static bag on top of bubblewrap so I could lean on the clips without worrying, and that worked. Temps look good (as expected - this cooler has a much higher TDP rating than the CPU) and it's quiet, so, good.

I'd happily buy this unit again: it would get 3.5 stars if that was possible b/c ...view more Challenge was a youngest son with a borrowed processor that he needed to keep cool - and none of his own funds.

Add another star to this review if you will be mounting the cooler before installing the motherboard into the case.
This cooler is cheap and the performance is very solid. The base mounting bracket is very easy to install. However you pay for it when installing the cooler and fan assembly, as it's quite a fiddly thing to get on and you really have to push quite hard on the bracket and tab in order to latch it on to the base mounting bracket.
If you're upgrading from the stock cooler, be sure to give yourself as much light and room as possible by removing the GPU and other surrounding components first. I imagine this isn't as much of an issue ...view more Add another star to this review if you will be mounting the cooler before installing the motherboard into the case.

Once it's installed, it's an excellent little cooler and a solid upgrade in temps and fan noise over the stock intel cooler. But installing it is not a pleasant task compared to something from Noctua. The slightly higher price bracket coolers from Deepcool also appear to have a nicer mounting solution, so if you're not good with fiddly things it might be worth spending the extra 15-20 bucks to get one with a nicer mount.

A great purchase for the price. A great purchase for the price.

So I initially bought this to cool my 13100f. Did a phenomenal job , idle at low 20Cs and max load it barely got above 60C.

I have since upgraded to a 13400f, which has 10 cores. It idles at 28-30C and 100% usage on all cores only got the temps up to about 60-65C which is crazy good performance for this price point.

Only down side is that removing the cpu cooler was a bit annoying and the mount mechanism isnt my favourite, but hey for this price, dont think this can be beat. So I initially bought this to cool my 13100f. Did a phenomenal job , idle at low 20Cs and max load it barely got above 60C.

Keeps my 5600 cool for a great price Keeps my 5600 cool for a great price

Great cooler for price, keeps a ryzen 5 2600 at 35 degrees Great cooler for price, keeps a ryzen 5 2600 at 35 degrees

Brought for cooling an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 CPU on a MSI motherboard. Physical light at 350 grams, so low stress on the mother board. But is very effective in cooling the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 CPU.

On a Cinebench test the Deepcool AG300 kept the CPU temperature around 68 - 70 oC. The old out of the box, stock AMD Wraith was not very effective cooling at 90 oC. Very pleased with the 20 - 22 oC reduction in heat. Brought for cooling an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 CPU on a MSI motherboard. Physical light at 350 grams, so low stress on the mother board.
