What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Installation is pretty easy. No need to remove the motherboard to fix the support for the cooler. Well-written and easy-to-follow instructions. Comes with everything thermal paste and even a screw driver.
As the title says, i have an omen and these are notorious for their hellishly high heat. Cpu cooler is great idle around 38-45 max it hit under a 10 min stress test was 69 heh.
Outstanding cooler. Great cooler. This cooler is really amazing. What a great cooler.
Cons
Noctua is complicit with this practice, with no interest in trying to change it. It only comes with a lga 115x bracket. I know that there is likely a mounting bracket you can order or request, but that's very misleading.
Highlights
Quality
This fan is very well built and performs flawlessly.
Great cpu fan for smaller form factor builds, i used it in my build with a corsair 280x micro atx case.
Sucking the gpu heat upwards i figured would make the cpu much hotter, but it was sitting at a max of ~80c which just didn't feel right.
My goodness, this thing makes my cpu temps never touch anything above 50c.
Price
Extremely good value for money, i would recommend!
There is a very very cheap fix which should be included with every package.
I've bought noctua's fans before and while their products are expensive they're worth the price.
Black version is a little bit more expensive than the brown one.
Packaging/appearance
Didnt see one included in this one, but didnt try if the mounting that came with it fits out of the box.
Competitiveness
It is actually a pretty high-end cooler compared to other brands and will be more than adequate for all but the most avid gamer... Read More
Considerably better than the stock amd cooler.
This is also a surprisingly large cpu cooler considering that noctua sells even bigger ones.
Definitely more mass and cooling as the pc was idling about 8*c cooler in comparison to the stock one.

I only have a very light load for this cooler ryzen 3100 so i cant comment on how well it does with hotter chips but my 3100 never exceeds 70c even with an overclock

Idle temps are higher than the aio it is replacing 40c which does not bother me since its going to be more reliable than an aio and it takes up less overall room in the case
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Its quiet too though that could be because the fan never gets over 1500 rpm in my application

Only minor gripe is that they mounted the chromax fan with the ugly production dateserial number facing up so you can see it through the case window
