Thermalright is known for low cost CPU air coolers that will get a job done. Its new ARO-M14G is a bit different in form factor than what we are used to seeing from the company, but it claims to have built this heatsink specifically for AMD's Ryzen socket AM4 CPUs. It even goes as far as to suggest it is suitable for fanless operation.

Taiwan based Thermalright has been helping keep PCs cool since 2001, and over the years have brought us some of our favorite coolers, and always at a great price. It has been 16 years since we reviewed our first Thermalright HSF, coincidentally, that HSF was designed specifically for AMD CPUs as well.

Today we are reviewing the ARO-M14G, an AM4-specific cooler for Ryzen and Ryzen 2 CPUs. Featuring an enlarged copper base to ensure full coverage of the Ryzen IHS, as well as "Proprietary through holes on fins for efficient ventilation." How will it stack up on our highly overvolted Ryzen test rig?
