I³'m satisfied with the product, it³'s well made and the price is also satisfying.

I took it under ryzen 5 1600 - idle temperatures are 30 - 32 degrees, under load (LinX test) it warms up to 60-63 (processor overclocked to 3.8 GHz voltage 1.3 temperature in the room 23 degrees, thermal paste Arctic Cooling MX-4 ) I did not adjust the fan speed, on standard settings the speed is ~ 400 in idle, ~ 900 under load.
In general, a good cooler is quiet and relatively compact, suitable for not very extreme overclocking.

Pros

1) Simple and reliable fastening. 2) Very quiet, even under load. 3) Dimensions for a 140mm cooler, does not block the slots for RAM, should fit into most cases (better to measure first).

Cons

Large gaps between the heat pipes at the point of contact with the processor, respectively, the heat removal area is not as large as we would like, poor polishing.
