Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

I will immediately give general characteristics, maybe someone needs it:

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X;
RAM 32 GB;
Motherboard COLORFUL A320M-K PRO YV14 (AM4, mATX);
Power 750W;
Vidyuha Palit RTX 3060 12 GB OC Dual;
Case 1STPLAYER RAINBOW R2 - look at the specifications in Google;
I bought MX-4 thermal paste, I did not use the thermal paste that came with the cooler.

At first I was afraid it wouldn't fit. As a result, there was enough space in height, even with a margin (the case allegedly supports 170 mm coolers, maybe it really is, because it feels like there is still 1 cm).

Before that, there was a base cooler from AMD, which came with the processor.

Previously, when I set it to High performance in the "Change power plan" settings on the PC, the processor kept at 4.35 GHz and the temperature (even just if I open the browser) showed at the level of 50-55 degrees. And if you opened cyberpunk on ultras, then it calmly reached 87-91 degrees, when the video card did not rise above 57 at all.

Now, with high performance, the temperature stays at 37-43 degrees (when saving energy, the processor drops to 22022 GHz, the temperature stays at 30-32 degrees). If you turn on cyberpunk, then it does not rise above 65 degrees.

Separately, about the MX-4 thermal paste: it is somehow dense, barely smeared, so be careful with it, apparently.

Pros

- Very easy to install on AM4 - just a little scared that a lot of parts were brought, I thought that I would have to mess around. But the installation took 10 minutes at most, and that's because I looked at the instructions. RAM does not interfere. The cooler power cord is also long. - Reduced the temperature by 20-23 degrees in Cyberpunk 2077 on ultras. - Build quality. - Includes thermal paste (but did not use it). - It’s hard to say about the noise, because somehow I don’t pay attention to it and it’s hard for me to say (and there’s nothing to compare with), but I can hear it. However, I will give 5 stars because it does not put pressure on my ears.

Cons
