IS-55 wasn't working out the best for myself, temperatures wise. Decided to change back to the AXP100 with a fanswap and ride the fan turburlence noise. With enough fan curve tuning, the noise isn't too bad, if the CPU fan doesn't go above 80% PWM RPM too often.Gotten an aftermarket mounting bracket from Taobao for the AXP100 Full Copper, which allows the AXP100 to be rotated 90degrees, so that the fins will be blowing out air from the top, rather than towards the RAM sticks (with the stock bracket). On the plus side too, rotating the cooler allows me to use my four sticks of Corsair Vengence RAMs. However, this would also require the motherboard VRM heatsinks not being too ridiculously chonky, which was the reason why I gotten the Gigabyte X570S Aero. Low enough heatsink, and buildzoid says that it is a more than alright board.Running the AXP100 with the fan in exhaust isn't recommended at all. Thermals are way worse, but worth a shot as the fan turbulence isn't as terribad.
