    It's quiet and cooled my 5600x so it no longer thermally throttled. Switched to a 5800x3D and it cools this CPU very well also.

    Good quality for an affordable price and for a starting out cooler, its worth it. But soon enough I'd like to head back in and buy a liquid cooler. But till then, this will work.

    Keeps my r7 5800x nice and cool. This thing is ridiculously quiet too. Tall, so make sure your case can fit it. Corsair 4000D has ample room

    I haven't had good success with liquid coolers so I stuck with the tried and true air-cooled method. Fan breaks or wears out; replace it. And the perennial problem of dust build up in the aluminum slats; I was attracted to this model which has a removable grill which slides off the pipes with a couple of screw removals. Hit OUTSIDE OF THE CASE with compressed air or simply a stream of water and/or some soap. Slide it back on the pipes, remount the fan never once having to reapply it to the processor. So far so good keeping the processor cooled.

    Got this Cooler for my Older computer. Overall it was pretty easy to install. Had a few glitches, but I believe that was more with my case. This Replaced a bad cooler I had. It keeps my temps down pretty low. Around the 40's C when Idle.

    Worked great for the limited time we had it for what it'ssupposed to do and how its supposed to work. We had just upgraded my husbands tower and installed this fan when we quixkly realized we got the wrong one for what we needed. That being said, this air fan seemed to work just like the box/description said it would work and I would expect it would work in the right setting/set-up.

    This thing is great, super quiet and keeps my cpu cool. My one complaint is the instructions for the backplate arent super clear. It took me a few minutes and plenty of double checking to make sure i had it set up right for my socket.

    Good cooler for new builds...

    I had bought this to replace a cooler on an existing system, but found this particular setup (socket AM3+) required that I changeout the backplate. Since this was an already working system this presented a lot more work than I was planning. I had used Cooler Master in the past and the cooling performance is always top notch for the price, but take care to read instructions if you planning on replacing in an existing system versus a new build so you know what your getting into. I will say getting the screws straight into the receiving holes while everything is under tension is a exercise in patience, but this is common in this type of cooler at this price point.

    I got this to help cool my 5800x3d and its been such an improvement over the stock AMD cooler I was using to cool my prior CPU, the 3700x. Its quieter and runs the CPU cooler even though the 5800x3d is known to run hotter than a 3700x. Overall I am very satisfied, especially at this price point. Insall instructions could have been clearer. I had to watch a youtube video for the install. Not hard but I wanted to do it right and the written instructions were very unclear.
