Pros

Neither fan is noisy at all. Comes with a screwdriver and thermal compound paste. The sheer volume of thermal pipes and the sq footage of cooling fins is an absolute gamechanger.

This cooler does what i need, (keep a 65w tdp chip cool at stock levels) it keeps my ryzen 3600 at about 60 while playing tarkov. I have an icue commander xt and six corsair ll120s in a corsair 4000x case. It feels secure and keeps temps below 90°, us... Read More

Temperatures get up to ~75 after 30 minutes of cpu stress but that's within the safe operating temperatures of the cpu. Running cinebench on multi core the temp held at 80. Idle is around 45c.

Uses stock amd backplate for mounting. custom brackets require temporary removal of backplate. Also, the cooler's offset puts one bolt directly under the cooler where a 5/16 offset wrench is required to tighten it.

The installation of the cooler on a am4 socket is straight forward. Look at the installation diagram/manual. There is a very helpful video on youtube, which was all i needed to make it a simple install. Installing is simple and the instructions are cl... Read More

Quality

I am very happy with the look, fit, finish, quality, and performance of this cooler.

Overall i'm very happy with it, very low noise and respectable thermals.

The quality of the fan is actually beyond my expectations.

Price

The price you pay for the performance offered is fantastic.

Packaging/appearance

It literally jumped out of the box.

Competitiveness

I am using this to cool a ryzen 9 5900x.

I have a ryzen 3500x which temps are usually on the higher end and it keeps my tempetures at no higher than 65-70 degrees.

The installation of the cooler on a am4 socket is straight forward.

I think this would better suit a ryzen 7 5000 series processor better.
