Im using it to cool and AMD 5600x, so the job isnt too hard but its not insignificant either.With the system idle the cpu temp is around 30c, thats just 9c above room temperature. Under load with PBO on it tops out in the high 50's. the fan never gets above 60% with the curve ive used. Coming from a wraith stealth the difference is night and day in terms of temps and noise. 15c cooler average off the top of my head, but the noise difference is massive at the fan speeds you will need with a similar processor. With a modest 4.5ghz all core overclock the highest temp i seen under testing was 72, this was increasing the voltage to 1.4 and the watts were topping out at 105w.The design is nice. The black fins are much nicer than the normal silver ones you would expect to see at this price. The RGB is colour accurate and matches the boards hues. The fan and the heatsync both have RGB, so you will need two headers or you can use the supplied splitter, which has even more rom for adding more fans. Using a 'breathing' on and off rgb, ive noticed that the yellow LED's light up slightly after the red. I have an orange colour set. It gives me the colour i want at full brightness but for the first and last 1/2 second of the cycle when it's at its dimmest it changes to a red. Im not really bothered by this and any other cycle like strobing or changing colours does not produce this.The mounting was easy. Although there is no room for any adjustment the way the heatsync attaches to the mounts. My heatsync is ever so slightly not square with the board, but i am being super picky here! Looking at the closest dimm, the cooler is about a mm closer at the top than it is at the bottom. An adjustable mount would mean you could give it a tiny twist to fix this. However having owned a thermalright which you could adjust ment that it was never quite straight anyway!The wires are ample, longer than anyone could ever need, but you can just hide them away if you like it looking clean and it won't matter where your RGB header is on your board.All in all this is an excellent purchase for anyone who wants a quiet, efficient, good looking cooler. Are their better about? Yes, but bang for buck from all the reviews and research i did before i bought this is an aging cooler. Unless your looking to drop some serious cash, like 3-4 times as much your not going to find anything that has an appreciable difference in the aesthetics and performance that this cooler offers and even then I doubt you would be pleased with cost/performance ratio.9/10 from me. I would definitely buy ID cooling again!

It keeps my Ryzen 5 1600AF at 75 degrees at 4GHz overclock and 65 on stock speed under load, idle temperature always below 40 degrees. RGB looks great and the included controller with the splitter is a nice little addition.

Got this on cyber monday as it was on offer, did google for reviews and they all said it punches above it weight, by which I mean it performs as well if not better than other brands costing much more.Very easy to fit to my am4 motherboard, took longer to hide the rgb/fan wires :-) very quiet and runs cooler than the stock cooler, my pc is almost silent even under load, all in all a bit of a bargain and NO I wasnt paid for this review !!!

Now during a Cinebench R23 benchmark, it stayed at 54/55 degrees under 100% cpu utilisation throught the entire time.So it's safe to say I'm defintly not going to be hitting anywhere near as high with this and its looks pretty awesome.

Great value cooler and an amazing upgrade from the stock one easy to mount, looks good and the RGB fan is very nice!Used with my 5600x and even managed to get a decent overclock out of it using this cooler.

Very happy with it, replaced my rather crappy cooler that was getting up to 97°c under stress, now maxing out at 47°c under the same test. Was simple to fit, even for a first timer like myself, and quieter than the one I replaced, recommended!

Very afforable cooling for Zen3. The direct contact heatpipes lie perfectly on the Zen3 hot areas. Went from 93 on stock to 63 degrees on full stress test.The RGB sadly is only a non adressable 12V connection, my motherboard only has a 5v RGB header, so the RGB is not usable in that case.

Good
