Hi all, currently my 1600X is sitting under the stock cooler and its hitting 71C idle.

So im after a new cooler

I was looking at this one https://www.overclockers.co.uk/alpe...ion-dual-fan-cpu-cooler-140-mm-hs-05h-al.html

My case is a Corsair 450D which can apparently take a cooler with a height of 165mm and my motherboard is a Strix B350F

So is the cooler im looking at any good and will it fit? Any similarly priced alternatives?
 
Received and installed the freezer this morning along with a 2700X CPU.

Whilst temps are lower than with the 1600X im still seeing idle temps of around 60C.

How tight am I meant to fasten the screws down I don't want to break anything or damage the CPU
