I would definitely recommend the purchase, I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

It fully corresponds to the declared characteristics and the general reputation of one of the best products of this class in terms of price / quality ratio for its niche. If you do not need (or do not have enough funds) for some show-off or specific functions, then the cooler justifies itself. If the system unit is not kept close to the ear, then the sound of its operation is of little concern, even at maximum speed it is unlikely to be the noisiest element of the system, especially if there are some "problem spots" in this component. - Regarding the installation, it was found out by experience that for this particular model, strange as it sounds, it is much easier to fix the fan not as usual by pulling the brackets on the radiator, but vice versa - to "snap" the bracket fixed to the radiator onto the fan with fasteners. You will also have to hold both the bracket and the fan well to keep them in position, but it will still be easier. In general, this unit is quite recommended for undemanding low/mid-segment systems or outdated builds to provide decent processor cooling, especially if someone else is holding "boxed" coolers - throw them away and buy this, for your hard junk, pull next This will not help the game in any way, but this device is quite capable of coping with the task of squeezing the maximum out of what is available, without shocking the user with the numbers on the thermometer, so that he is embarrassed by every "boosted" megahertz. It is important to remember that this cooler is only for full-sized midi-tower ATX cases, it will not fit into smaller and narrower cases.

Pros
  • In general, I confirm the main mentioned positive aspects of the cooler: - Quality/Efficiency - Sufficient silence in work - Moderate cost - The backlight does not interfere much, although the manufacturer clearly "threw a little price" for it, but this is not critical. For whom RGB is not important, but he himself wants a backlight - quite a good color and brightness level. - Normal dimensions (for an ATX case, for which it is intended), does not interfere with anything and does not block RAM slots, well, for any standard motherboard anyway.
Cons
  • With the installation, yes, you have to tinker a little, but there is nothing completely inaccessible to understanding there. Sufficiently tight clamps for the fan, but they hold it firmly without any play.
