Pros & Cons
Pros
Only downside is that while the fins are thin and efficient, they are not friendly to skin and knuckles if you graze against it. It's tempting to just keep using this one, since it works so well. The onlydownside is a bunch of people souping up there ... Read More
It fits fine in the fractal define 7 xl as their specs indicated it should. It comes very close to the nearest pcie slot, but still stays far enough away that there's a couple millimeters of clearance. The only gripe with this product is how it sits i... Read More
Cools the massive 1950x better than many liquid cooling kits! I don't know how one could possibly cool a 280 w package without stepping up to a high flow watercooling setup (or vapor compression), so i'm satisfied.
Noctua coolers are easy to install, they’re very quiet, and are thoughtfully designed. Current operation is silent or very very quiet. The fans are really quiet too. Also much quieter.
One complaint is that either the fan or the heat radiator unit should have been designed little thinner. There are four, with two spaced more closely together than the other two. There was some other accessories such as additional fan mounts, and inli... Read More
Cons
The parts seem undamaged, but the inside of the package was not put back together correctly. The cardboard protection/isolation folds were not correctly in place. At temperatures that high, the cpu slows itself.
Highlights
Quality
Installation was beyond simple, instructions were great, it works way beyond expectations, and i'm not going to be worrying abo... Read More
The build quality is great (it’s noctua so of course), the noise level is very low, and it keeps my cpu nice and cool while running 24/7.
Not with the price of these parts.
I spent way too much time trying to figure out thermal compound blob pattern for the threadripper.
Price
All in all, a good product for a fair price, (considering what everything costs these days).
But this does a better job than the kraken x73 i was using previously at about half the price.
Shipping
Amazon shipping is also very quick, even without paying extra for faster shipping.
Packaging/appearance
Pros:- excellent performance compared to other coolers (including industry leading water coolers)- great quality parts and pack... Read More
I threw the noctua cooler on and its been doing a fine job keeping my cpu in the ~40c range for a few hours.
Competitiveness
This is a good option at the time for a threadripper 3600x chip.
Good clearance for my crucial ballistix rgb memory sticks.
I would not recommend this cooler because of the size unless you really research on how this cooler with a 140mm fan will fit w... Read More
Idle temps of 55c and hit 90c+ within minutes of any stress testing on a threadripper 3960x.

The pictures do not do justice to how huge this thing is

The cpu cooler blows front to rear which plays very nicely with that airflow arrangement
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
People told me that my threadripper 3970x had to have water cooling that no air cooler could keep it from thermal throttling
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Nothing ive thrown at it can get the cpu temps above 65c even with this massive 250w cpu churning at 100 all night the cpu temp usually hovers around 5356c well below the thermal throttling cutoff of 90c
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
When at idle or doing nonintensive tasks its usually down at 3146c
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The size does have drawbacks though
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I did have ram clearance issues which forced me to relocate the two fans higher on the heatsink than they were intended to go
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Not for small cases though and be prepared to deal with some ram interference
