How loud is the fan during gaming?
The fan is designed for ultra-quiet operation, reaching a maximum noise level of 23 dB, which is barely audible in most gaming setups.
Can this be used with an AMD AM5 processor?
Yes, the cooler is fully compatible with AMD AM5 platforms.
Does the product include thermal paste?
Yes, it is recommended to use the thermal compound included in the packaging for proper heat transfer.
What is the maximum TDP this cooler can handle?
The MCPU33 is rated for a maximum Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 140W.
Troubleshooting
Fan is spinning at full speed constantly
Access your motherboard BIOS and ensure the fan control mode for the CPU header is set to PWM instead of DC or Auto.
Higher than expected CPU temperatures
Verify that the cooler is mounted with even pressure and that thermal paste was applied correctly. Also, check that the fan is not obstructed by cables.
RGB lighting not turning on
The MCPU33 uses fixed FRGB lighting powered through the fan connector; ensure the 4-pin fan header is fully seated.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent value for money
- Compact height fits most mid-tower cases
- Very quiet operation thanks to 4-pin PWM control
- Wide range of socket compatibility including AM5 and LGA 1700
- Eye-catching dual FRGB lighting effects
Cons
- Not suitable for high-end enthusiast CPUs over 140W TDP
- RGB lighting is fixed and not addressable

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the MCPU33 is straightforward due to its universal multisocket design. Before beginning, ensure the thermal compound is applied thinly and evenly to the CPU heat spreader.
- Identify the mounting brackets corresponding to your CPU socket type (Intel or AMD).
- Secure the backplate to the motherboard.
- Apply thermal paste, place the cooler on the CPU, and tighten the tension screws evenly.
- Connect the 4-pin PWM cable to the `CPU_FAN` header on your motherboard.
Regular maintenance involves cleaning the aluminum radiator fins with compressed air every 6 months to prevent dust buildup, which can obstruct airflow and reduce cooling efficiency.
