A normal product, but they wanted more for the money.

Purchase disappointment. I replaced them with a 3-pipe titanium with a 90mm fan that did not regulate speed and yelled like a vacuum cleaner. Yes, the box is quieter now, but I could not increase the processor frequency by any means, despite the fact that the speed margin of the turntable is still hoo, i. E. it turns out that the energy transferred to the radiator is significantly lower than that which it could dissipate. I would have achieved the same state of affairs by simply replacing the fan on titanium with an adjustable and quieter one.
As a result, it would be better to buy a huge tower for 800-1000 per bush.

Pros

Moderately noisy, at low, moderate loads and idle in my room is indistinguishable from the background. I like the red backlight of the fan, it turned out to be very in tune with that of the PSU.

Cons

Put on Zen +. In terms of convenience and speed of installation, a complete failure. The mount is frail, does not inspire any confidence, the standard metal plate from the board must be replaced with a complete plastic one. Mounting is provided in only one position: with the wide side towards the rear wall of the housing (for traditional housing layouts). Something is wrong in the work directly as intended. It takes a few seconds to enter "mode", which, with intermittent peak loads, can lead to a shutdown of the system. (I explain: the calculation is cut in (fixed frequency and voltage), the temperature rises instantly to a certain value and, smoothly descending by several degrees in 2-4 seconds, is fixed at this value. Starting the fan in advance at maximum, replacing thermal pastes does not affect this effect in any way ). For me personally, the reason is not obvious, either the low heat capacity of the sole, which transfers heat from the cooled body to the radiator, or the tubes start to work for a long time, or all at once, or the entire design of the device, coupled with the mount, has not been worked out.
