I don't normally write reviews, however I thought I would this time, This cooler is very impressive to say the least. install was very straight forward, took about 10 minutes, and the performance is amazing. My CPU is a Ryzen 5 5600X, I thought I would put the cooler to the test by running CinebenchR23 and Prime95, I ran both for over 30 minutes, all cores stayed at there boosted speed of 4.6Ghz+ while temps never exceeded 67°C, Nothing I could do would push temps higher, I even ran Cinebench while watching videos on YouTube, still never exceeded 67° nor did the fans max out (I have my curve set to not hit 100% until CPU hits 70°) The fans are no more noisy than any other 120mm at high RPM, although I did find due to the fins on the unit a slight whining sound, I am sure though that is caused simply by the air being passed through the fins so they resonate a little at high RPM, over all though that is not an issue as most times no one will be loading all cores to the max when playing a game or whatever you may be doing on the PC short of benchmarks and testing, how this cooler is not twice the cost is beyond me, as it would be well worth it even if it was, and for the 40$ that it does sell for, you would have to be silly not to invest in this cooler if you needed one or wished a better cooler than the stock one you may of received when you buy your CPU, my only complaint is the fact the fan closest to the RAM over hangs quite a bit (blocking view of the RAM so crappy if like me you have RGB RAM) and second said fan over hangs the cooler by half inch or so when installed on the RAM side, to remedy this I decided to install my fans (on in middle and one at the side towards the back) in a Pull/Pull config, that way the air is drawn through the side closest to the ram and blown out the back. I tested different positions (such as what is shown in picture) and found no difference in temperatures, which I figured would be the case as in a Push/Pull config it would be the same air flow regardless, mine is just "backwards" but still all the hot air is blown out the back of the case, only drawback is I can not really see the RGB of the fans (which is not a huge deal for me) all and all I would 100% recommend this cooler to anyone with a PC.
Best Air cooler for the money, even if it was double the cost
