Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Thermal paste was already applied out of the box, which is very convenient, the thermal paste is not bad. With the help of an adapter ring from the kit, this cooler was first installed on socket 775, then on socket 1200. At 775, motherboards cannot control the fan speed by voltage, so it thrashed at maximum speed, which created noise, tolerable, but it was impossible not to notice it. On the 1200 socket, the Gigabyte H410 MS2H motherboard regulates the speed by voltage, so there is no noise, while the temperatures of the I3 are just great, I saw 57 degrees in games maximum. Absolutely does not interfere with the installation of RAM with radiators.
Bottom line: a great CPU cooler, especially useful for cheap motherboards with weak VRM.

Pros

Cools the i3-10100F to 60 degrees in the "AIDA 64" stress test with AVX instructions and is not particularly noisy, it also cools the VRM zone

Cons

Noisy at maximum speed
