Best air cool option for the money. If you have ram directly to the right of the CPU you'll have to flip the fan to the left. Using to OC a 5950x and it works well.
Makes it even better, there's no variant of the PA, including the 140, that performs better than the PS. The 7 heat pipes just beats out 6. Both are good tho.
I spent another $10 and got the 140mm version for my 9950x3d. Was there a better option?
I have the 140mm on my 9800x3d and its been rock solid for a year. Super quiet and keeps temps very low.
In additional to my 140mm PA, I have 2 x 140mm intake fans in the front and 1 x 120 exhaust fan in the back which are all thermalright and they are whisper quiet.

I had to mount the right-most fan about 1/2" higher on the heatsink to clear my RAM, which is fairly low profile (no RGB stuff, just an integrated heatsink.)
Perhaps more worth mentioning, I can no longer access the PCIe slot release tab for my graphics card with this cooler installed. It's gigantic. Maybe I could fit a chopstick in there, but definitely not a finger. Not the biggest deal, but it's kind of annoying to know that if I ever want/need to remove my graphics card for any reason, I may have to remove this cooler and clean/re-apply thermal paste.

Couldn't be happier with the cooling.
