Works well but mounting hardware could be improved

This CPU cooler works as expected but the installation took forever because for some reason the spring loaded screws that put pressure on the CPU were not properly tightened , as it seemed to take a lot of time, more effort than I normally use. Maybe I just caught a badly threaded screw, but it still works as intended so I can't complain too much. Overall this cooler works well, I'm just not sure if the max cooling capacity is 230W TDP as my Ryzen 5 3600 runs at around 60C when gaming and it's…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled

Very loud with high output

I didn't play at all when I first bought this fan so I couldn't get any feedback on it being brand new. But now that I've started gaming, I've noticed that every time the PC is set to extreme gaming power, this fan gets really LOUD and annoying. To the point where people are asking what's wrong with your car lol! All, although it's definitely quiet in silent mode. Not recommended for gaming due to noise. Bought in July 2020 and started playing in December 2020. In terms of temperature, it gets…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Nothing here

Good at first, fan bearings/fins click

Update, RGB fan clicks after 2 months of use. Not happy now I have to buy a replacement. Works well as expected for a cooler of this size. The Argb fan is nice and bright and enough to light up most cases. The rear vent mount is completely useless. You can remove it and install another 120mm fan for push-pull airflow. which is nice. The top end has sharp holes, be careful when handling. Surprisingly quiet, actually better than the crossair ll20 argb. Specifications Gigabyte Z390 itx with i9…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors are here

It's so good it cools my Ryzen 7 2700x and it's quiet. 100% Worth

Got this to replace my noisy Wraith Prism cooler on my Ryzen 7 2700x and it's so good my temp is only 47 degrees below 80. It also comes with an AM4 mounting bracket. If you need a new cooler, I highly recommend this one. Be careful because this cooler is quite tall, almost touching the glass in my case. It's also a very nice cooler and very quiet.

Pros
  • Best in its Niche
Cons
  • Big and Chunky

Fan makes loud rattling noises after just a few months

The cooler has only been in use for about 3 months and is hardly ever used. The fan is making a lot of noise lately. It's very loud and definitely distracting. After making sure the wires aren't touching the fan, it looks like the bearing in the fan is bad. This is the only reason I give this cooler a bad review.

Pros
  • I keep my fingers crossed
Cons
  • thin

Had issues with my Wraith, it was a great replacement

I had issues with fan noise with my Wraith cooler, it often made a lot of fan noise at higher fan speeds, it seemed like a bad bearing. I bought this cooler to replace the Wraith and so far I'm very happy with it, it keeps my OC'd R7 3800X cool during long gaming sessions. I'm thinking about installing another cooler for my FX-9370 system as it has extremely high TDP requirements that not many cooling solutions can meet. Overall I highly recommend this cooler and will probably buy at least one…

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Negative available

Efficient cooler, yet quiet and beautiful.

I wanted a black and white design and this cooler was perfect for that. When I put the handbrake on for 20 minutes, my Ryzen 5600x never went above 78 degrees. The fan is barely noticeable, you have a stick, your head is next to your body to notice it. I only have to run the fan at 60% to get maximum cooling. For the same test, it didn't matter if the fan was at 60% or 100%, cooling efficiency was the same, a solid 78 degrees. This cooler is easy to assemble, and the fan cable and lighting…

Pros
  • Nice looks
Cons
  • Some flaws

1 month, 8 days. disappointed. do not recommend

I wanted to fall in love because it is beautiful. I'm at this computer about 5 hours a day and longer on Saturday and Sunday. I turn it off every night. EXTREMELY OBLIGATED FROM THE PRODUCT. Not sure I recommend it as we ALREADY have to buy replacements. Bought May 18th. Received the final component for the newly assembled computer on June 1st. Today is July 10th and it makes a clicking sound and randomly stops and doesn't spin. So disappointed! I hate writing bad reviews but I don't want…

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • Compatibility

Annual cost Racket

I would not recommend this product to anyone. They have good customer service (they replaced the first one I bought with no objections, but overall I regret this purchase. The first problem I had was that the lights randomly often go out for about 30 seconds. The fan keeps running, but I'm pretty sure it should NOT just stop showing color. All my other RGB products keep running, so I'm guessing it's just this product. Anyway, they sent me a new one, when i complained about it so maybe they…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Don't remember
