Pros

Coolermaster h500 (no suffix) fits very well in my sonata mid tower. Fit very well on my asus motherboard. Ram clearance seems fine with low profile ram for sure.

At same temperatures it is still quieter than the evo 212. My only gripe with it is that it's not as silent as i was lead to believe.

I'm sure my granddad would find it very appealing. Performance is simply superb for this premium product with a full 6-year manufacturer’s warranty. Even tho i'm in awe at the efficiency and silence of it, the secufirm mount in every way imaginable is...  Read More

Noctua runs 4. Ghz ocd at 55 degrees celcius stable. Rpm.

Box contains the cpu cooler, noctuas' own thermal paste, an extrension cable and low noise adaptor cables. Noctua clearly cares about their customers and have complete trust in their product to last 6 years. The exhaust fan is a 120mm noctua.



Cons

Impossible to attach to the bracket now. Seems the problem is with 2 very thin rods that are used to line the fins up.

What can i say, got this to replace the wraith prism that came with the 2700x.


Quality bit of kit but in my case had to return it as it was far too high up and i had very limited space in the case.


Honestly the stuff you get in the box and the quality.

Price


It uses the stock am4 backplate on a ryzen system.

Packaging/appearance


A comprehensive package of mounting hardware, crystal clear instructions, excellent packaging.


Love noctua, always premium quality, packaging and service.


Installation is a doddle, the packaging is excellent, and it's cheaper than most aio's.

Competitiveness


Compared to all the other noctua products - save for the small form factor ones - this seems to pack the most punch for its size and price.


Pricey compared to other competitors which are great as well but if you want a cooler that will last and never lets you down th...  Read More


It may stick out if your all nit picky about colour schemes but nothing will serve you as good as a noctua.


Once after the new noctua cooler installation, the temperatures never reach 70 and idle below 35.

    I previously used the 3600 stock cooler which ran hot idle 45 celsius to over 80 celsius and made this annoying howling noise

    Most important of all i cannot hear the cpu cooler at all but other components such as gpu and case fans planning getting noctua a12 and a14 in the future

    If you want a great company who makes cpu coolers then noctua is that company

    Unfortunately the fan provided is brown this caused me to purchase another product which is the main cause of the temps being so low

    This product is known as the chromax black swap


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It was keeping the temps in check but the noise of the thing ramping up and down was driving me up the wall
