I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

The processor power that my cooler was able to dissipate until the cores reached 100 degrees was about 170W. And with the MCE mode enabled, which is usually enabled by default, the 9700k consumes up to 200W in Prime95, so a little throttling began. I set the power limits manually to 150-170W so that this does not happen. In the TimeSpy benchmark, for example, at 5 GHz, the power did not rise above 130 W, so there was already enough cooling with a margin (maximum 85 degrees).

Pros

Until the fan speed approaches the maximum, it is almost inaudible. Yes, and at the maximum the sound is not loud. Enough to run the 9700k at 5GHz, apart from the toughest tests with AVX. It practically can't interfere with memory modules, even in the first slot, and the second one is completely out of the way. (I don’t know about 4-channel boards, there is none). Not as heavy as some double turret models. A syringe of good thermal paste and a long magnetic screwdriver for fastening are included.

Cons

There are no obvious ones. But you have to understand that the cooler is quite bulky, it takes up all the volume available to it according to the standard. At the back, it almost reaches the case fan (which is even good), and at the bottom lies on the protection of the video card in the first slot (if the card has a bare board, there will be a gap of 2-3 mm).
