I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

I will not attribute this to minuses - the cooler box was slightly wrinkled, but not critical from the word at all)) By the way, as I understand it, Ya. Market is something like an intermediary between stores and end consumers - i. E. like a marketplace. My cooler came from the store "PlayerRu". I am satisfied with the final product and delivery. Well, summing up all of the above: the cooler is excellent and worth the money. Most likely, I’ll also take a case from beQuiet - something, and the…

Pros
  • Arrived ahead of time, inside everything is in place and in perfect condition)) I decided to replace my Gammax 300 - I would not say that it does not suit me, on the contrary, it perfectly cools my R5 1600 AF with factory thermal paste. I took Dark Rock 4 for a further upgrade to a more powerful processor. What I actually liked: 1. tdp 200 watts - enough for the vast majority of processors; 2. Fairly quiet 135mm turntable; 3. Excellent design - without any rgb and other things. Simple, stylish and brutal; 4. An excellent set, where everything is packaged and located so that my respect; 5. In addition to everything, a screwdriver and good thermal paste are included in the kit.
Cons
  • For myself, I did not find anything like that, but judging by other comments, the following can be distinguished: 1) Cling the fan brackets to the radiator itself more carefully, because black paint is easily scratched; 2) Due to the fact that the fan itself is rather big - 135 mm - the cooler itself does not fit very well under high RAM bars, because it blocks the 1st slot. This problem can be solved in several ways: - Rearrange the RAM in the 2nd and 4th slots (the most obvious); - Raise the fan a little higher to fit the RAM stick underneath (won't work if you have a narrow case or very tall RAM heatsinks. Otherwise, you'll either have to remove the side cover/case glass (if the case is narrow), or if space allows , place the fan even higher - but then it will protrude quite well OVER the radiator; - Install a 135 mm fan not in front, but behind the fan, and put a standard 120 mm screw in its place, or, if there is no space for 135 mm in the back, simply replace 135 mm with 120 mm. But then you will have to look for slightly different brackets, because the regular ones are designed for a 135 mm screw, not 120.

Good value for money, I recommend.

Got pros: Good boxed cooler, CPU temperature dropped by 15-20% after installation, which for me is a great indicator Has some cons: It is problematic to install on a motherboard with an AM4 connector, and when installing a fan on a radiator using brackets, I encountered difficulties, the brackets are very tight

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

Do not install the first bar of the RAM. I put RAM on slots 2 and 4. You can swap the fan, there will be room for the 1st slot. Do not attach the fan to the radiator. First, install the radiator and screw it on and fasten the turntable in place. Not convenient, but what can you do.

Great product, best quality.

Compared to the previous cooling - a two-section dropsy from a well-known brand - heaven and earth, above 60 degrees, the percentage does not heat up in tasks

Quiet, cold. For ryzen 7 5800x enough for the eyes. Cooler clamps are a living hell, be careful not to cut your hands when installing. Also look at the height of your RAM before buying, especially if it has a huge backlit heatsink. My RAM with a height of 392022mm fit back-to-back, provided that the cooler was set to the highest position, although the site says that the height of the RAM is up to 46.8mm. I understand that this is taking into account the motherboard. It would be an ideal tower…

Pros
  • Quiet, cool, thermal paste and screwdriver included
Cons
  • Complicated installation

Disgusting, will never recomend it for anybody!

Upon receipt, I twisted it, I didn’t seem to notice any flaws, while I was waiting for all the components, put the box aside, started installing it and noticed that it was a marriage. The radiator in the lower part is poorly painted over, the paint seems to have sintered, now I don’t know how to paint over this matter. It's a shame when you buy a new product, but here it is

Pros
  • Quiet
Cons
  • Poorly painted over
