Pros & Cons
Pros
Noctua makes the highest quality heatsinks. They supply high quality thermal paste, and a lot of it so you can use for many other projects. Provides cooling comparable to an aio water cooler.
In a aorus b450 pro wifi motherboard cooling a ryzen 5 3600. It cools my cpu about 10 degrees cooler than my wraith spire did. Keeps my 3700x near ambient under light loads, with peaks of 57c. Boost one/two cores to 4.
The 240 radiator has 3 intake 120 fans in front, one exhaust 140 at the back, and a 240 radiator with 2 exhaust 120 fans on top. Fits in my mid tower with a 3080 right next door and standard size ram. Works well for a 2700x.
My only conundrum. This cooler is fantastic. How time flies and technology becomes outdated.
This thing is phenomenal. Fantastic and solidly built device. It's a bit bulky, but i'm a happy camper.
Cons
Noctua farmed this out for some reason. One tower was bent inwards, probably ten to fifteen degrees. Emailed noctua tech support.
Highlights
Quality
Dual 140mm fans do exactly what you'd expect from noctua, top tier cooling and quiet as can be under max load test.
It handles my cpu temperatures quite nicely while staying quiet.
Nice cpu fan, the second fan should be a 120mm because de 140mm doesn't fit in every mini/mid tower case.
It looks like a jet turbine, but it keeps my cpu extremely cool.
Price
It is pricey but you can never go wrong with noctua.
Competitiveness
I used the noctua thermal paste that came with it and it is better than corsair's tm30 paste by a few degrees celsius.
If you are considering buying an aio instead of this air cooler, only do so if you plan to do a lot of overclocking and if you ... Read More

Overall you cant ask much more from an air cooler my buddys aio water cooled system is almost a clone of my system component wise and its way louder sitting beside it cause you have added pump noises that are high pitched and that bothers me a lot
