Great little cooler
Great cooler for the price. It installs easily and is well made. If you are running a lower TDP cpu it works well. I have used a few of the for small form factor ITX and not had any overheating issues. If you are running a high TDP CPU you would want to do some bios tweaking to assist in cooling or consider a larger tower cooler.

Compact, quiet cooler.
Keeps the CPU cool, what else could it do? It's doing a fine job of keeping the Core i7-8700 in my unRaid homeserver nice and cool. Can't say I hear it over the rest of the system, so it's quiet, too.

Great CPU Cooler
I installed this cooler to replace the stock Intel cooler when I upgraded my CPU. So far it's keeping up with an Intel core i9 9900 just fine! The install was easy since I already had the motherboard removed. The cooler comes with basic instructions and a set of brackets that are compatible with a variety of CPU sockets. The kit also included some thermal paste.

AMAZING over stock cooler but instalation is not easy
I bought the black low profile. This cooler is heaps better than the stock AMD stealth cooler. Smaller all around works way better. Installing it is not easy tho. If your motherboard is already mounted and your system is put together get ready to take everything apart it is not just drop in and screw down. If your building a new pc Installing this isn't that bad tbh but its def not the easiest. Also directions are trash. My cpu is an amd ryzen 5 5500 running a home server. I had the stock cooler installed with idle temps sitting at around 43 to 45 and running cinebench my cpu would thermal throttle. With this coller I dropped my idle temp to 34 to 36 and running cinebench never got over 73 c. So a massive massive improvement over stock. Honestly if your building out a new pc or home lab with an older cpu this cooler (i got the black one) Honestly is worth it for the 20$. That and Honestly its no louder than the stock amd cooler and runs at a higher rpm under load. My hd cooler fan is louder than this thing running at full speed and that's a 21$ noctua fan.

Cpu cooler
It works fine if you let the fan at full speed. Then it keeps the cpu nice and cool. I just wished the price was 20 like the others. These do have a weird bracket setup as the 1700 brackets that came installed didn't actually fit my 1700 cpu. I had to use the second largest and that worked perfectly.

meh... ok... sorta...
this cooler is being used on an asus Prime Q370M-C/CSM with a i9-9900k cpu. I bought this to do a simple build in a small form factor pc. I'm not overclocking or doing anything crazy. Just general workstation with the occasional movie conversions via handbrake. Again, i'm not doing anything crazy and wanted to stay as simple as possible whilst doing better than a stock intel cooler. The good: it has a low profile, quiet, and in use seems to be effective. The bad: the absolute WORST mounting solution imaginable, PERIOD! even someone with experience could damage their motherboard by over-torquing the mounting nuts. I can't even be certain i'm getting proper even contact with the cpu because the cooler stand-offs don't contact the board. it just kinda 'floats' on the cpu while being bolted to the board. and there really isn't any insulation between the metal backing plate and the traces of the motherboard, so that could theoretically cause issues. upon boot-up and going into the bios, my cpu was idling at around 95f, so it's doing something. I've gotta install the OS and try to see how well it'll do under use. I'm sure in that regard it's definitely more than adequate. I just don't believe saving the $20-$40 over a nactua or bequiet is worth potentially damaging important components like the motherboard. If you're not overclocking, i'd say you might as well save even more money and just use a stock intel cooler, otherwise pony-up and go with a more well-known enthusiast/professional brand like the aforementioned nactua or bequiet. update: this thing is terrible.. it might work if it had a good mounting solution so one could tighten it down properly without risk of damaging the other components, but.. i installed linux mint on a i9-9900k based asus motherboard. i wanted to test out how well handbrake worked. not thinking anything of it i tried rendering a movie. it started out at a decent rate but within less than 2 minutes, the rendering fps were less than halved due to thermal throttling. the case is completely open. i felt around the underside of the cooler and the cpu was waaay too hot to the touch. so, i'm gonna try and send this back.. hope this helps someone make a decision

The copper design really catches the eye—10/10.
It's heavy for its size. I struggled to assemble it, but that was my own fault for being stubborn and not checking the instructions. It's a good cooler and maintains better temperatures than my stock heatsink.

A mighty cooler.
Incase anyone is wondering, this cooler will cool and keep a 10600k at around 33-35 at idle, and the highest I've seen it reach in cinebench is 77 to 80. SUPER QUITE OPERATION. I do not overclock but my i5 was running with turbo. Some say it won't work but it 100% will. Cools better then the be-quite rock 3 tower cooler I had installed before. The 4 points of contact for the mounting surface is a plus as well. Looks great with blackout builds. Does sits pretty close if not flush against your ram if your running 4 sticks.

Excellent product, but read if using ROG B660-i motherboard
Good product, does everithing one can expect from the specs and description. The only issue is the LGA1700 backplate interferes with some surface mount components on the back of the ASUS ROG Strix B660-i gaming wifi motherboard i am using. Unpleasant, but nothing a few minutes with a file couldn't fix.
