-Installed on ASUX X570 motherboard with Ryzen 7 5800x. Works well. Idle temp is 38 degrees C, moderate load is 41 degrees C. Running Linux Mint version 22.1 -Installed in a very small ATX case where I needed the head room for the CPU cooler. -No Problem with memory installation, its tight but running two 16G chips and fits perfectly -Works well, highly recommended

Look GoodEasy InstallationGood CPU Support

- Screen software better than expected - Thermal paste included in package - Easy installation (both cooler and screen) - Lots of hardware metrics available other than CPU/GPU temperature- disk, network, etc



There's nowhere to go wrong with this. As good or better than anything beQuiet or Noctua makes, at half the price. Pay more if you want to. No stupid RGB.

Keeps a Threadripper 1950X (not overclocked) at approximately 30C at idle and has never exceeded 62C at load. The hardest part of the installation is figuring out how much thermal paste to apply.


Fins are long

- White color matches white builds nicely -Keeps my 9600x cool -Easy to install and control with Mystic Light

- Low profile, but excellent heat sink. Would fit on pretty much any mATX or miniITX board. - Fan quality, low noise and speed commendable. - Case clearance ? low profile. Not an issue at all. With fan mounted, height is 65mm - GPU clearance ? Not an issue at all. Does not even come near to GPU - Memory clearance ? All 4 memory slots easily accessible pre and post installation. - On board VRAM heat sinks, Fan headers and m.2 slots ? easily accessible pre and port installation. - In a nutshell, you won't need to remove this cooler to remove any other component from Board. Or you won't need to remove any part from board to install this cooler. - Can be installed after board is mounted on case or entire PC build is complete. No need to dis-assemble entire PC. This may depend on the PC case. - Easy compatibility check chart provided at Noctua website. Would recommend referring that if any doubt regarding compatibility with main board, or any other component. - TEMPS - Straight decrease in CPU temp after installation. - CPU Intel Core i7 8700 Stock speeds and voltage (More specs below) - Ambient Room Temp - 32-36 Degree Celsius - Stock cooler - 44-48 Degree Celsius on IDLE - 70-80 Degree Celsius on load - Noctua - 34-38 Degree Celsius on IDLE - 62-70 on load - Prime95 stress test all threads and cores - 80-88 Degree Celsius during test. Test duration 20 mins. - Fan is low noise without low noise adapter. Excellent option for cases without any sound dampening material. - Overall - Excellent air cooler for low profile clearances and stock non-overclocking CPUs. Must be considered if upgrading from Intel's Stock cooler or any other low profile cooler not performing as expected.

10 fan headers, that's a lot more than many other more expensive controllers Easy installation Compact size



Old but extremely good cooler with very very good ram compatibility. Brown fan sucks so I had to buy the Chromax black plate and black fans

Looks fun multitude of hardware for all types of sockets quiet

Fan has low clearance, keeps the CPU at a very cool temp after installation, and is quite (other than a low hum from the fan). Is a stellar heat sink if you're in the market for one when you have clearance issues.

Installation instructions are clear and simple enough Good cable lengths to reach the MB CPU fan headers Includes thermal paste So far it is able to keep up with my CPU's head (AMD Ryzen 7 9700X) with no issues

Runs quietly and doesn't occupy a lot of space in the enclosure.
