  A great choice. I bought it to replace the decent but mediocre AMD cooler of the Ryzen 5 7600 (see photo for comparison). Quickly:

  Pros:
  - Very nice for black and white builds.
  - Beautiful RGB that immediately synced with my MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFI.
  - Comfortable clearance from RAM and anything else.
  - Stable and relatively easy installation of the cooler.
  - Equally quiet as the previous one. I say it as a positive, it is not louder than the quiet fans of my case.
  - Temperatures are about -10C at idle and -20C at full load compared to the previous one, and both with the factory thermal paste.

  Cons:
  - Basically, the fan installation. The wires are clearly a cost-cutting measure. They do the job once you finish, but any second installation will require a lot of manual pressure to snap in place, and I find it impossible for some fins not to get bent. It's a shame. For the price they ask, they should have a better system, like the easy clips of my previous 212 EVO.

  For the same price, I preferred it over the other popular option, even though that one performs slightly better, because this one is a bit quieter (practically silent even at full load). I would have liked it closer to 40€ instead of 48-50, and then it would deserve 5 stars, but still a great choice, as I initially wrote.

  It has been installed on an i5-13500. It doesn't go over 70 degrees under heavy load and stays around 50+ degrees during gaming. Easy installation and it's not audible.

  Quiet and efficient. I bought it for an AMD 7800X3D, which it keeps at low temperatures. Relatively easy installation. Very good product, high quality and at a good price. I preferred air cooling to avoid any leakage problems from liquid cooling.

  The best there is for cooling in this price range! I have it paired with Intel i5 13500, it has never gone above 65 degrees, even in demanding video editing tasks (4K) and flawless in gaming. In idle and normal tasks, it stays at 25 degrees without making any noise!

  Very good cooler. I haven't had it for long. Someone recommended it to me as very good for the use I want it for. I use it on an AMD Ryzen 5 5600x processor. I am quite satisfied.

  A beautiful, silent and efficient cooler. I have quieted down and it keeps my computer at good temperatures. I definitely recommend buying it, and the beautiful colors it has will enhance your computer

  The cooler is excellent! In combination with changing the tower to Be quiet 500DX, the temperature difference in games like World of Tanks, Cyberpunk went from 75 to 54! It is visually beautiful, I didn't see any issues with the finish, and I looked at it very carefully because I read comments about it here. The base comes with thermal paste, which was intact for me, so I didn't need to apply it again. I consider the installation easy, but I have installed several times on PCs and never had any issues. And the Argb is simply perfect! Combined with the other Lightwings, it's amazing! Highly recommended!

  Just 2 hours ago I received it.
  1st: From the price to the overall quality, the fan alone is worth 80% of the money, if not 90%, and the remaining 10% is worth the cooler and the accessories. Very heavy and sturdy construction (which is also true for the fan)!
  2nd: Before I even installed it, I wiped off the thermal paste that was already applied on the cooler (my opinion: always check what's underneath!!!! In this particular cooler, as soon as I wiped off the paste, I was speechless (to say the least), the surface that comes in contact with the CPU is SO BADLY polished that I think they finished it with sandpaper that my grandfather uses on the fence at our country house, and I'm not exaggerating at all) no matter how good the construction is, with such a surface you will never achieve proper thermal conductivity.
  3rd: I am tempted to "attach" the CPU to the cooler exactly as I bought it and then post here with photos the temperature differences after the polishing I plan to do on the cooler's surface.
  4th: If you know about sandpaper grit numbers and polishing stones, get this cooler for yourself!
  5th: And most importantly, besides the very poor surface, IT IS ALSO CROOKED, yes I tested it on glass and marble! For there to be people who have experienced such high temperatures with this cooler, I can only imagine what condition their PC was in before.
  Update 2/12: I'm coming back to add some comments, I won't change the stars of the review since the i5 is quite demanding. I polished (not completely, but to a greater extent than it already was) the surface of the cooler, did some stress tests and benchmarks without OC, and it consistently reaches 85°C on the CPU even after half an hour+ on the bench. I can't say it's a scam, but it definitely doesn't perform well enough in my opinion and it doesn't give you the opportunity to even do a little bit of OC because the CPU immediately goes to 94+ degrees, so on the contrary, in demanding conditions, someone should consider undervolting... So anyone who wants to play with OC even a little bit on a 125w TDP CPU (or somewhere close to that) won't get the job done with this cooler. Note that in regards to the temperatures I mentioned, I have also added a second fan to the heatsink... >photo

  There is nothing better than this, I have put it on a Ryzen 7600 and it stays between 45 to 65 degrees with no noise at all.

  I don't know if something went wrong with the connection, but I don't have the RGB result I expected, only white. Besides that, I recommend it.

  5 αστέρια ακατεβατα... μπήκε σε i5 10400 και η διαφορά με την stock ψυκτρα είναι μέχρι και 20 βαθμοί κάτω σε 1080 60p streaming... πρώτη φορά που άλλαξα ψυκτρα σε pc και ήταν πολύ εύκολη η τοποθέτηση με πολύ σαφή οδηγίες.... απόλυτα αθόρυβη ακόμα και σε φορτίο με τον επεξεργαστή να μην έχει περάσει ΠΟΤΈ τους 62 βαθμούς ακόμα και σε streaming η Cyberpunk 2k ultra.. πολύ όμορφο RGB ... συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα

  It was installed on an i5 13500, ASUS B760 D4 motherboard. It has a high-quality construction. It is large in size, but at the same time, it is quiet. The ARGB is very beautiful, and you can adjust it from the motherboard.

  Very good and very quiet. Classic size for this type of cooler, although I would say it is much better than others because the base is more forward than the rest, so the fan does not sit on top of the RAM.

  I agree with what Tripokaridos writes below. While it performs flawlessly, its installation on Intel was so tragic that it almost caused damage to the motherboard!!! Surely many have fallen for it, so be careful with the installation, kids...

  Good product, Silent and high quality.
  Low temperatures for environment 20 C > no extra GPU | integrating graphics CPU 12900k 5.20 GHz 31 C - CPU package 39 C with one fan on the unit working at 490 rpm.
  On the Asus B660-G ROG Strix motherboard, it reaches 51 C with one extra fan on the box for out air at a standard 1000rpm.
  Rarely, almost never increases the fan speed of the cooler.
  Quite satisfactory.

  I put it in Socket 1700, Positive ... very good temperatures, The most beautiful lighting I have seen, Very good quality fan for its price, Silent, and relatively beautiful.

  Negatively, very bad installation system, the backplate does not have Silicone pads or some foam, the backplate does not have pre-installed adjustable feet, when you put all these things together, you have to put a bunch of screws and the bridge that goes on top of the heatsink does not snap in, and say all these things are done once and for all, the Unacceptable thing is that there are no cushions during the screwing between the bridge and the base, Among the negatives are also the very bad cuts on the heat pipes, whose curves are not smooth and the ends are cut as if someone did it by hand in mine and the 8 ends were different.

  In conclusion, if you don't care about build quality and just want a beautiful black heatsink from afar with the most beautiful lighting, then it is good in performance and silent with closed eyes.

  However, if you want something more quality, then add 10 euros and get the Low End Noctua NH U12S Redux, which I have also installed in a machine and is superior in Backplate, smoothed heatpipes, Fins much denser and not easily scratched, Fan I would say both midrange are fine, just the Noctua below 600 rpm its motor does not make the classic tick-tock that all Be quiet do.

  Nice RGB. Placing it is almost the same as with all others in its category, it requires a bit of experience to make it easy. It's bulky but expected. Keep it at 13400 in good temperatures. I will edit later if I notice anything.

  Edit. Placing it requires some attention and a bit of experience to make it easy. Because I have added a lot of personal touches, it didn't bother me.

  Installed on i5-13400. The installation was relatively easy, as I didn't have to remove the GPU, etc. It took me a little bit of space, but it didn't take me more than 15 minutes. It has paste on the cooler ready. At idle, my temperature is between 25-28 degrees, while in light system use (browsing, excel, etc.) it doesn't exceed 35. In stress tests with cinebench, while with the factory cooler, the i5 hit 99 degrees (!!), now it's at 70. The noise is quite low even at full use. In all of the above, the airflow of the entire case is also important, mine is quite good but not perfect. The RGB is also beautiful, it connects directly to the motherboard at 5v (3pin). Overall, I am completely satisfied and I think it's worth the money!

  It was installed on a gigabyte aorus elite ddr4 and effectively cools an i-5 12600 cpu. Quiet and beautiful with the A-rgb lighting it has. Attention, for lighting it requires a connection to the A-RGB motherboard and not just RGB. If it doesn't exist, then a converter-connector that can make the three-pin connection of the cooler, four-pin. In heavy games and 4k resolution, I have seen temperatures up to 60°C, without changing the fan curve of the cooler through the motherboard. It's just very good for its price. I got it in September 2022, for about 39-40 euros. VFM !!!! Also, it comes with the kit for the 1700 socket and has thermal paste at the contact point with the cpu.

  Very good cooling. It dropped my 2600 by 30oC both in idle and full load. With a stress test on both the processor and graphics card, the processor works at 55oC. Very satisfied!

  It would have received 5 stars but the placement of the fan made it difficult and some of the metal from the heatsink bent a little. Nevertheless, it cools very well for the price and size.

  Out of the 3-4 top coolers in its category and the best in RGB... there is nothing better for 40€ and it doesn't cause any issues with RAM, etc. I recommend it for all 6-core processors without hesitation. It is better than the basic versions of the be quiet pure rock because the fan goes up to 2000rpm.

  It cools a 5600g perfectly and is really quiet. The RGB has many functions. It's worth the money it was purchased for (40€).
