Are you a human?
Sort of a poor-man's Hyper 212 EVO, but generally a good bit cheaper. I don't know how performance stacks up, but one of these is keeping one of my Ryzen R5 3600 CPUs cool.
Mounting bracket for AM4 is brute-force, using the prongs on the retention brackets on the mobo, and a clip, like the old-school Athlon XP heatsinks that were such a PITA. Yeah, it sucks like that.
For 1151, it uses two side-pieces that screw on, that have two legs each, and have push-pins. MUCH easier to attach on Intel.
But for the money, it can do in a pinch. Even for an AM2/AM3/AM3+/FM1/FM2 rig, too.
