This is a terrible CPU cooler and should be avoided at all costs.

Boy where do I start on this IS-30 cooler, first of all its temps are worse than the regular Intel cooler. I'm running this on the factory Intel i7 9700k. When idling with the IS-30, my CPU runs @ 69c and 89-93c while gaming. I installed this on November 6th, 2020 and the fan died after 4 months of random PC gaming when I heard it freezing to death. I had already sent my stock Intel cooler back and felt like a total failure when I saw that my temperatures were lower than the stock IS-30. 42s idle, 55-59s while gaming. I'll admit that this cooler isn't as noisy as the stock cooler, you won't get good temps. So just avoid it and spend a little more for something that will last more than 4 months.

Pros
