Good quality product, the price is commensurate with the quality.

This is truly the most wonderful cooler of all time (considering its price).
Very quiet - the maximum speed is a little quieter than the HDD or valves on most PSUs (due to the fact that the maximum speed is 1600). This is the quietest element on the computer.
Due to the non-loud heatsink, it will be easy to vacuum between the fins.
I have a half-dead mother with a damaged textolite and idle time on a boxed cooler is 70 degrees at 3000 rpm and full stunning, and on this 48 and silence.
Of course, it's a crazy idea to put this cooler on an expensive and cool percent, but I think the percents up to 6000 are the most.
Truly this is a wonderful cooler with maximum sales and the best reviews. I have already installed it on several different computers - no problems. Thank you China.

Pros

The price is lower than competitors. The maximum noise level is 21 dB, which is very cool. Fasteners for all current platforms and processors PWM (automatic speed control by mother via 4 pin connector) The hydrodynamic bearing should last longer. Withstands 125/130 watt AMD/Intel processors The maximum valve speed is only 1600 rpm, which means peace and quiet. 102mm valve (not 80 like competitors at this price) On Intel, you can blow in any direction back-top-bottom-front High - does not touch the memory and capacitors, but at the same time it does not reach a couple of centimes to the lid in a regular case. Metal mounts for both Intel and AMD, are screwed to the heel with bolts (no need to be afraid of pressing and bursting fasteners) Good thermal paste, performance is similar to Zalman ZM-STG2 or Arctic Cooling MX-2 (at least on my processor). The thermal paste has already been applied to the base (some squeeze out the entire syringe so that it then fills the whole mother) If for some reason the valve dies, you can replace it with any size 92 mm, there is such a bracket, and the complete valve itself is non-standard and larger. Normal weight 473 grams The valve has soft gaskets against vibration Good packaging - cardboard (harder to damage than a blister) The blue hood looks nice No backlight

Cons

There are truly no drawbacks for this price, but there are nitpicks: The minimum valve speed of 900 rpm and below cannot be done, although at 900 it works unrealistically quietly. The heel is made using the direct contact method, which is cool, but in cheap versions it looks bad and the situation is the same: there are quite noticeable grooves between the aluminum heel and the tubes. The base is not polished, but as if they just went through the cutter, semicircular grooves, the finger is felt distinctly, although even. So the base could be put a minus, but judging by the efficiency, the cooler does not care - it does an excellent job. On the AMD platform is mounted on standard fasteners. If the mother is good, she has 3 hooks, on valve 1, i. E. if you have some hooks broken, then it’s not for you, well, in theory, reliability is 3 times lower.
