The product disappointed, does not meet the promises.

With the purchase, I'm not happy. There would be no questions if the person was noname from alik. However, they distribute this, a branded and pricey product from a reputable company. I had to purchase thermal paste and a few synchronously operating coolers at 2.2k rpm in order to boost performance and give up silent.

Pros

The tower itself was fastened with care and reliability. Cooler installation is simple. brackets for mounting an additional fan.

Cons

1. A minor, bearable whistling from the fan that originates from the electric motor rather than the fan blades. 2. Very inefficient; despite what appears to be an abundance of tubes, the radiator itself is hardly heated and the temperature under the CPU's cover is already 75 degrees (rizen 2700x, without overclocking, with an open and closed case). I added a second fan as an experiment, but it had no noticeable impact. (Solution in the Comment). 3. Inappropriate and outdated thermal paste was present. Squeezed out is a coating of excellent rubber mass that cannot even be smeared. very little heat conductivity.
