I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Until recently, I doubted that it would normally fit into a small case (minitower, max cooler height 120 mm). Fortunately, the feeling of an impending "epic failure" for 6K (November 2022) turned out to be false - the millimeters are superbly adjusted.
The cooler is not hindered by either the radiators of the motherboard power circuit or the memory (standard height). And he, in turn, does not overlap the first PCIE slot.
In general, an excellent choice for fans of hot processors, small cases and "shove the unshoveable".

Pros

Power: will cool even very hot prots Compactness and versatility: it will fit even into small narrow intricate cases (by default it is supposed to hang over a standard-height RAM and cool it slightly), while on mATX it will be possible to install a (video) card in the first PCIE slot, although it is closer than on ATX Silence: 140mm fan with PWM. At the same time, it cools well even in passive mode in a closed case. Good thermal paste included, and generally excellent equipment (including mounts for a second fan). Separately - pathos (sticker) from Noctua

Cons

Disadvantage: the stiffening rib of the installed fan in any case blocks the hole through which the mount is screwed, whatever one may say. You will have to remove the fan (or move it - you can’t install it from above in a small case, and you can’t pull it out when mounted on the bottom), and then return it to its place.
