Purchase failed, very dissatisfied.

Not happy with the purchase. If it was noname from alik, then there are no questions. But this is a branded and expensive product from a well-known brand, and this is what they give out. I had to buy a couple of synchronously working coolers at 2.2k rpm and thermal paste to increase efficiency and sacrifice silence.

Pros

Thoughtful and reliable fastening of the tower itself. Easy to install cooler. Brackets for installing a second fan.

Cons

1. A small whistle of the fan (namely from the electric motor, not from the blades) starting from 980 - 1100 rpm, but tolerable. 2. V. low efficiency, the radiator itself is barely warm, and under the cover of the CPU it’s already 75 (rizen 2700x, without overclocking, with an open and closed case), although there seems to be a bunch of tubes. I put the second fan for the sake of experiment, but there is no special effect. (solution in comment). 3. Unsuitable, expired thermal paste included. A layer of rubber mass is squeezed out which cannot even be smeared and very good. low thermal conductivity.
