Overall Review: super easy install, just follow the manual for your motherboard type. USE NOCTUA'S SITE TO CHECK COMPATIBILITY BEFORE YOU ORDER. comes with thermal paste, and its a really nice cooler for the size. youtube videos will tell you something about not being able to get the fan all the way in but i didnt have that problem on an AM4 motherboard. great match for a Ryzen 5 3600 with light overclock headroom, great cooler overall. max temps of 77°C under 100% load and anywhere from 27 to 35 degree idles
