Easy to install. Fantastic thermal performance, for the fairly low end 65W processor (AMD 5600X overclocked to 4.9Ghz, by the Asus AI overclocking mode) this cooler was overkill and no temps over 60 running flat-out running the CPU-Z benchmark tool

Brilliant Cooler. Lowered the Temp by 15 degrees from the OEM. Happy I bought it.
Simple design, works as descirbed. Price is very good too!
Keeps my CPU cool under load, Pre-applied thermal paste is awful though, i recommend replacing it with something quality.
I upgraded my old 2019 PC from an Intel I-3 to an Intel I-7 but only had the generic heatsink fan that came with the I-3. Not wanting to take a gamble I brought this heatsink and happy with the result. With this heatsink the CPU sits at 30C under normal conditions and will only climb up to 40C under load (e.g video rendering with Handbrake). I don't overclock so I can't say it could handle that. The size of the heatsink nearly caught me out but it fits in my case. The clamping is good with a good bond ensured between the cpu and heatsink although it was a pain to install with motherboard still in the case.
This relatively inexpensive CPU cooler makes life easy for a DIY builder. All needed parts for Intel or AMD CPUs are included and clearly described in the printed manual. The important components are copper for maximum heat conduction and the contact plate is pre-coated with thermal paste. The single fan is held by clips. Extra clips are supplied if you want to add a second fan, but this has not proved necessary when used with a moderately overclocked Intel Core i7 12700K running at full load.
Cooler was easy to install on AM5 MB. Came with thermal compound already applied. Very quiet and works well with my 7600X CPU.
I was using an Intel 1700 stock cooler with a Core i5-12400F. Tempertaures would reach to 80 degrees at full load. With this fan, it now barely goes above 50 degrees. On top of that, it's also more quiet than the stock fan. Major improvement.
Good little cooling unit for my i3-12100F, definitely a significant upgrade over the stock Intel cooler. Although, it is a bit slanted on to the back but there is no major issue coming from that.
I bought this as I was looking for a decent pairing for my R5 5500GT. I was running the stock cooler cause although I knew it was terrible, I thought I'd give it another chance to impress me. It did not. Running Idle at about 52c and pushing 88c under load. That's when I said enough is enough and picked up this cooler and paired it with some decent thermal paste. I'm happy to say I haven't seen temps above 50c. Very impressed with this coolers performance! Easy to install on AM4 boards and very quiet.
