I like the idea of matching the shape to the card underneath - meaning it has a length with less depth - this allows adding a GPU on the outside (vertical W adapter) even in a micro case. I like old school chrome fins - allows you to display chrome/bare metal on most video cards the way it's supposed to, instead it's usually an 'ugly dot' that doesn't go with anything else in this case. I like the silence/volume. That means it's quiet and I haven't heard it compared to other fans running in the case. I love that I can set a curve in the bios and actually keep the 2700x/3700x CPU temp under control. And if anyone has it, they know that the Ryzen 7 2 and 3 series can be a bit unstable in terms of temperature, but this cooler will not allow it to exceed 79 degrees maximum. if you set it right in the bios and make a nice curve. Anyone with a Ryzen 7 Series 2 or 3 can probably attest that temperature management isn't fun, although AMD says it's fine as long as temperatures don't exceed 95 degrees. I still don't like that the CPU goes to 80. I once had it go to 90 in a microsecond and it was almost "bad news" so I don't think AMD is considering other parts as the mobo will yellow the soldering if it even hits 90. Whilst the CPU may be 'ok' according to AMD, use common sense and keep an eye on ALL PARTS of the build and ASrock will yellow quite a bit. And it's not. always means damage, but it means the part is definitely hot. So I use an Antec spot fan to keep blowing the Ultra NVMe M.2 MoBo areas. This helps keep them cooler and mobo to allow the GPU to cool down faster and stay cooler. I don't like the fact that the company couldn't take just a few seconds to put decals on the center fans. There seems to be a malfunction where the center of the fan spins and the sticker outside the center makes people say "hey looks like this fan has gone bad/failed". (looks wonky - but only the rotating effect of the offset sticker) I give it 5 stars as it kept my CPU below 80 the entire time. But I'm giving it 5 stars because it's the "key" to making the GPU look like it has some kind of bare metal uniform and this cooler suits that. I give 2 stars for the non-addressable LEDs and 1 star for actually taking care of the final product because they are too lazy to label it with stickers. And any sign of obvious LAZY can say a lot about the product. So I'll be watching it for a while before trusting it completely and replacing the stock sticker with something focused on the fan. I give it 5 stars for uniqueness and 5 stars for price. Altogether about 4.8 stars. hey buy it You will like it for sure. I've included some photos of my build so others can see what it will look like in the microcase.
