Great little CPU Cooler
I was shocked that something so small and quiet could actually cool my CPU, i am running a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and a RX7900XTX with no thermal issues in a Fractal Design Terra Case and using the default OC settings.... What more can I say

Horrible to install
Performs well but it is truly a pain to install as it requires little screws to be installed through the back of the motherboard, into the cooler while you hold it in place on the cpu. Then the screws need tightening through the use of a small allen key, meaning the force you can apply on the screws can be much greater than necessary, which could potentially damage the motherboard.

Arrived incomplete
As others have said, it looks like it will be a bit of a pain to install. Unlike those others, though, I don't actually know, as - despite what is stated in the product description - it arrived without thermal paste and without mounting screws. As my case does not require a low profile cooler, I may just return this and order another.

It does what it says on the tin. Quiet and efficient. I mounted it on an AM5 and it was very straightforward. Temperatures are around 30°C and do not climb much beyond 33°C during undemanding tasks (spreadsheet work, light image editing, browsing). Possibly not suited to gaming.

Bra kvalitet, lätt att montera, tyst. Lite stel kabel precis vid kontakten, men det är nog Noctua generellt.

Un buon dissipatore silenzioso per il gaming medio.

I am using this cooler with an AMD 7900X CPU. Performance wise, it seems to be doing an excellent job. I do not overclock so I am certain I am not stress testing the maximum cooling abilities. However, for my needs, this CPU cooler fan work quite well. It is quiet during normal operation. My only issue came during installation. It was initially unclear to me how this fan mounts since the AM5 socket had threaded inserts. The provided screws did not go into the inserts but then I noticed smaller, longer screws that fed through the threaded inserts. That allowed to me to attach the cooler perfectly. I am quite satisfied with my purchase.
