Amazon "Made" A CPU Cooler: Amazon Basics Cooler Review

Sponsor: Linode Cloud Computing by Akamai - https://geni.us/CBl2fS
We bought the Amazon Basics CPU tower cooler to benchmark it against some of the best computer air coolers on the market, including the Thermalright Assassin Spirit, the Vetroo V5, the stock AMD Wraith CPU coolers, and Cooler Master's Hyper 212. While testing it, we realized a few familiar details to another manufacturer. Our review of the Amazon Basics Cooler compares it to some of the best CPU air coolers on the market in 2023 -- but also the stock AMD coolers.
