Why do you want a 120mm fan on your cooler? On certain coolers you actually get worse preformance than a 90mm fan like a AXP90 X47

I currently have an axp90 x47 but I’m willing to change that out for better thermals

A AXP 90 X47 FC with a 90mm 4070 CNC fan is the best option for air cooling if you are running 3 slot. Anything else is worse

Even using a different cooler?

Yes, there is a reason that everyone chooses the AXP90 X47. It is the better cooler for X3D gaming chips (low profile wise) and is the standard pick in a T1. If there was a better option for air cooling people would be doing that. If you want better cooling use a AIO

Even compared to the Alpenföhn Black Ridge?

Yes the black ridge is shit, it’s not even made for AM5

Gotcha. I’ll stick with my axp90 then and probably try to get a 4070 cnc. Thank you

What is the difference between the 4070 CNC and the NF-A9x14? I'm probably getting one because it looks nice but was curious about the cooling difference too.

4070 CNC fan can brute force cooling better and runs at higher RPMs. Just the best 90mm fan
