There are several shortcomings, in principle, it corresponds to the norm.

Such an overprice is probably due to compatibility with Mini ATX systems (which is not my case, because I just needed additional space for airflow on the side) and a small selection of coolers with such characteristics. If there is an opportunity to put something else, it is better to do so.

Pros

The presence of 4 copper tubes, compactness. Due to the direction of additional airflow VRM (almost imperceptible). Turnover adjustment.

Cons

Covers all memory slots (which means removing / installing whenever you need access to the dice), in some places hemorrhagic installation. In particular, before fixing, it crawls along the crossbar and it becomes unclear how well the pad covers the percent in this position. Driving bolts with a screwdriver through a radiator, as has been pointed out by others, causes a flood of profanity. As a result, the cooling turned out to be mediocre: in idle time and low loads, the result turned out to be even worse than that of the budget Gammax 300 degrees by 5-10. At the same time, the noise level also did not justify itself, since it emits a low-frequency rumble at idle, and takes off at high speeds. Lack of backlight - in my case, it can hardly be called a disadvantage, because. need not.
