    It arrived with a rapid delivery. impressively quality and sturdy product. Very slim design it doesnt look bulky and so no need to worry about ram height clearance either. Every single detailed has been thought about cooler.easy instalments with easy instructions.it includes all the parts bits n bobs u need(intel, AMD kits,screw driver,corner rubbers,second fan clip,noctua badge, bits n bobs etc) running it with one fan and I was in doubt about this product efficiency but it handles temps very good. Intel i7 12700k (10cores 20threads) overclocked to 5.1ghz and temps are 40-55c max through gaming(nomansky,GTA 5,fallout 76,farcry newdawn et.) on ultra settings or audio rendering (Ableton live)throughout over 60 channels of DAW.never reached to 56 or above yet. Of course rooms temperature and most importantly Ur towers airflow efficiency are the facts on an air-coolers efficiency.i believe it will be more efficient with second fan if u buy that extra. So far Im totally happy with this product. If u re not a fan of aio and dont like any liquid running in Ur rig like me or u dont need big aio or big aircooler then this product is perfect for u. Highly recommended

    All the current AIOs cool as effectively as this simple cooler, but you dont need to connect AIO power or hear an annoying pump with this terrific cooler.

    My first CPU cooler, and its totally worth the somewhat high price of an air cooler. The mounting was a bit tough, as the tension screws need to be pushed down a bit before the threads will catch, but other than that, instructions were clear, and I got it on perfectly. Temperatures were fantastic, especially for a 120mm cooler. So much better than stock. Overclocked my 2500k to 4.7 and I still hardly hit 60 C under heavy render loads. 4.8 was possible but the voltages just seemed too high and didnt improve things that much.

    Ive used only a total of three coolers since I made my PC, but this one produces the lowest temperatures, with literally NO noise most of the time. Ive known that Noctua makes top of the line coolers for a while, but for some reason Ive put off getting one until my stock cooler started to buzz. Im glad I went with a Noctua. The installation was very fast and easy, mounting is sturdy, and its super easy to clean the fan because you can detach it in seconds without having to take the whole cooler out. This also allows you to vacuum out the heatsink without removing the cooler. This is THE cooler I would recommend for someone who wants the best performance for the price.

    Favoloso, che altro aggettivo dargli, vengo da un sistema a liquido chiuso, ma faceva troppo rumore, ora con questo noctua con ventola da 12 cm ho il silenzioso assoluto, facile da montare se si ha accesso al posteriore del case. Bellissimo leffetto visivo.

    I materiali sono veramente ottimi, è silenziosissimo e la temperatura non supera i 55 gradi in gioco con una seconda ventola noctua.

    I recently got a new PC and it came with an AIO water cooler. Well, Ive never been a fan (pun intended) of water cooling; the size, pump reliability, danger (albeit small) of leaks, etc. So, after reading a bunch of reviews, I removed the clunky AIO and replaced it with this air cooler. Temps on this with a single fan are actually a few degrees LOWER than the 240mm dual-fan AIO water cooler! Using this on an AMD Ryzen 5800x (stock clocks), and my idle temps are 35-40°C, full load (running Prime95) are 60-65°C, with an ambient air temps of 21-23°C.
