While using a 5800x, I'm seeing 38C at idle and usually ~55C in games. Absolutely refuses to exceed 80C on stress tests, even with a moderate overclock.
Fan is quiet and performs well. Pretty straight forward to install, and comes with tons of socket compatibility.

Can’t beat classic design that’s lasted over 10 years in the market of CPU coolers, just wish the price didn’t go up…..
I originally tried a “be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4” and it made getting to my gpu and pcie drives difficult, and knowing I wasn’t going to push my machine like a race car I decided a smaller cooler like this one would do the trick
If you’re trying to overlock juice tf out of your cpu look else’s where, if you’re trying to make your pc easy to clean and easy to reconfigure go with this bad boy (super easy to install and reapply thermal paste)

Great if your case can fit it. It’s a big boy but it keeps my i9 9900k real low, like I’m peaking in the mid 50s Celsius when gaming on high settings.

You know who you are. You built a system with a 4690k and GTX 980 in 2014. I helped you choose between 8GB and 16GB in dual channel at 1600mhz. I also helped you decide between the 120GB and 240GB SSD. Now you're moving onto a new platform and you're curious if this does a good job.
Well, as a status-report, it does. But remember how bad that included fan was? As tradition, that's still true, but it's not the end of the world.
I have mine strapped with two Noctua NF-P12's using the (luckily) included two fan mounts and 8 fan dampeners that allow me to run them silently. They are in push->pull. I have a very rare setup, an Intel Xeon E5-1660V3 at 4.3ghz on a very hard-to-get motherboard. But this chip runs over 175 watts at peak load.
Peak (hwmonitor): 82 degrees on Core 3 after 7hrs, 15mins.
Peak (hwmonitor): 85 degrees package after 9hrs, 10mins.
This chip, again, is drawing *175* watts. Your 13700k won't do this.
When the fans are replaced, the tradition of the Hyper 212 becomes true to form. Way, *way* too effective for what it costs. Just get that "Silencio" fan in the trash as soon as possible. It's a garbage fan. But honestly, the platform for the fan and fin stack has definitely improved. Especially for LGA-2011 V3 support.

Got this to replace the stock cooler on my i7 12700f. Normal gaming temps were getting up near 80c. After replacing the factory cooler with this one, my temps might hit 59c. Great product. To add, i used my old cpu fan to push through the cooler and used the factory one to suck through the cooler

My computer is now 20° Celsius cooler. Sure, it's not as cool looking as a water cooler or even a RGB fan cooler but it works. It's also very quiet and I have two fans attached to each end. Now I'm able to overclock my system to its max gaining 21% overclock performance.

So happy I bought this cooler. My PC was overheating and shutting down with the stock cooler that came with my AMD CPU. After replacing it with this Cool Master my PC no longer overheats and consistantly stays within 45-65F even when playing AAA title games.

Very big but good cooling capabilities. I have a ryzen 9 7050x so it get really hot. I had to upgrade to liquid cooling and use this as a temporary cooler. I run 20° Celsius cooler with liquid cooling. I had to monitor it closely with this product. It’d work great with any lesser cpu. Ryzen 9 tends to run really hot.
