    Keeps my AMD system nice and cool, pump sound is only noticable if the rim is absolutely quite. Temps in the mid 30s idle, between mid 40s to mid 50s while gaming.

    Really good. Can’t hear the fans at all. Keep cpu at room temps. Wish there were less wires though. Saved a few bucks not having the fans or display.

    OMG this thing is freaking nice!!! I just upgraded my CPU and thought I would just get this as well for when my son games. It keeps the CPU cool under the most arduous conditions that my son and I both throw at it. I love the infinity mirror affect on the cooler and how the LED's reflect off of it. It was easy to install after I read the directions and watched a video on youtube, just to make sure I was doing it correctly.
