The Ben Nevis Advanced is a more powerful version of the normal Ben Nevis cooler in all areas. The heat exchanger was expanded with more slats, as well as with an additional heat pipe, which significantly improved the cooling performance. The larger and more powerful fan also reduced the volume emissions.
The now four 6-millimeter-thick copper heatpipes are pressed directly onto the CPU, absorb the heat directly from the processor and then forward them to the innumerable aluminum lamellas without any detours. This method ensures very good cooling with conventional thermal grease. The asymmetrical design allows all Ram benches to be fully populated.
The already installed 130 mm fan, With PWM functionality, ensures a fast and efficient removal of waste heat with a strong airflow of 95.4 m³ / h. Despite its very good cooling capacity of 150 watts TDP, the fan is surprisingly quiet due to its conical design and performs its service at max. 25.8 dB (A) when rotating at a maximum of 1,500 rpm.
In addition to its excellent price-performance ratio, the Ben Nevis Advanced can also shine with the now extended compatibility. With the mounting system it offers a simple and safe installation on the sockets 2011, 1150, 1151, 1155, 1156, AM4, AM3 (+), AM3, AM2 (+) AM2 as well as FM1, FM2 and FM2 +.
Because this CPU cooler is attached directly to the retention module of the motherboard without a backplate screw connection, It is fully compatible with the AMD AM4 socket , which was launched in 2017 with the AMD Ryzen desktop processors , despite changing the hole spacing .

As a previous reviewer noted - this is VERY tall. It just about fits into my Zalman i3 Midi case. Runs extremely quiet and is far more effective than the stock fan on my Ryzen 5 (AM4 socket). The CPU clips were a little tricky to snap into place; but this was mostly due to the dimensions of my case blocking access to one of the sides of the CPU socket.

Took 15 degrees off my 8600K (@ stock 4.3 GHz) versus my old Alpenfohn Civetta (9cm fan). It's also whisper quiet. It's very tall btw so check it will fit your case. Installation was a piece of cake. Can't fault it.
