Pros: Looks decent

Cons: First off, the instructions are bogus. I have an intel i7-8086k and asus tuf b360m which is the lga 1151 socket. Upon receiving my item, I proceeded to follow each and every instruction correctly. As I finished setting up the heatsink and bracket, I begin to disassembly my pc. The first instruction is to put the bracket into the 4 holes in the back of the motherboard. This was kind of a struggle. The instructions say to line up the 2 plastic clips to the second indented line on the bracket for lga 115x; however, that didn't line up with the motherboard and so I was forced to line up the plastic clips with the first line. That worked perfectly so ditto to the instructions. Next, you're suppose to screw the heatsink to the bracket so that it lies flat on the cpu(which is crucial). No matter what I did, I couldn't get more then two adjacent sides to screw which left the pump halfway in the air which is unacceptable. It's worth noting that I didn't overtighten any screws. I sat for 6 hours trying to figure this out before I gave up. This past Saturday and Sunday, I tried again. I stayed up till 5 am on Saturday trying. Same issue. I tried again on Sunday as soon as I woke up. This time I tried again without the bracket. I just pushed the screws through. Surprisingly, that worked. I was able to screw all four sides in and have the heatsink lay flat. Finally! Success I thought! If only. After the heatsink was secured, I begin to hook up and double check that all fan cables were plugged in. They were, so I hit the power button and attempt to boot up...only to find myself starting at a black screen. "Hmm maybe the new hardware needs time to configure," I thought. 30 minutes later, still nothing. I tightened and loosened the heatsink and rescrewed the heatsink and plugged and replugged the fan cables at least 30 times each. I completely took the computer apart multiple times. Mind you, I'd been going at this since I woke up at 7 am. It's now 5 pm. I finally gave up and reseated the regular old stock intel cooler. To my surprise(I assumed my pc was dead), it booted normally. All in all, don't buy this unless you want to rip your hair out or have an extra cooler lying around for no reason.
