> 3 dayThis thing is incredible. Keeps my 3600xt around 30C at idle and around 65C while gaming at ultra settings.

> 3 dayLove the fan, super high quality. The mounting kinda was ridiculous though but Im not sure how to make that better. You have to hold the mounting bracket backplate, fan, and the screw in place all at once. I guess you could temporarily tape the backplate and then remove it after install. But yeah its dead quiet, looks great, and truly is low profile.

> 3 daySystem: Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro, AMD Ryzen 5 5600g, 32gb G-skill Ripsaw Ram 2400Mhz, 500 gig PNY SSD and 1T WD SSD. Ram at advertised 2400Mhz and cpu over clocked at 4ghz. Heat problems right off the get start. Turned ram down to 2133 and cpu to stock 3.9 and heat problems still, exchanged out with stock heat sink and fan, turn ram back up to advertised and over clocked the cpu and no more heat problems. Gave 2 stars because the Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 chromax Black, Low-Profile CPU Cooler for AMD AM4 just would not do the job. Made from great materials. I will save for my next build which is going to be an F2+ socket, AMD 6800k down to a mini itx case. Ill update if it keeps that one cool.

> 3 dayVery quiet and all black. Doesnt have the noctua logo on the fan like some. The best low profile air cooler

> 3 dayeven a 6 core CPU will struggle with this air cooler. My 3600X would frequently overheat with this cooler causing my PC to randomly crash when doing anything other than web browsing or watching movies.

> 3 dayCant go wrong with a Noctua cooler, this one is super quiet and keeps temps low under a decent load. Only complaint is the installation of this one, you have to remove your motherboard if you are adding this to an existing build and it requires you to kind of blind align the cpu and heatsink to get the screws to thread from the back.
