Excellent cooler for the money
What's not to like? High quality, cools 3 of my PCs all with Ryzen 9s excellently (much better than my old Corsair dual fan AIO liquid cooler!). Excellent performance.Like I said, I've bought 3 so far and if I suggest anyone a CPU cooler right now for a wallet friendly build, even higher end ones, this one is a no brainer.Install can be slightly more difficult than others but nothing unusual compared to other coolers of this style.In terms of noise it's pretty quiet. My last AIO liquid cooler's 2 radiator fans were louder.Works with my AM4 and AM5 CPUs and my buddy installed one on a newer Gen i7It's a bit large, so it may not fit in smaller form factor builds. Looks great with the white color option for full whiteout builds, and my other 2 rock the black with RGB.Do yourself a favor and pick up this guy for your next build!

Great cooling, Marvelous, Incredible price to performance .
Got this so I can tweak my CPU (R5 5600x) and it works great I am getting temps (while tweaked and OC) at 30-40 degrees while idle(browsing web stuff like that) and like 60 while playing games and 69 while using Cinebench(also tweaked and OC). Mind you my temps were even higher before this with no tweaks and OC with 40-50 resting and 75 in Cinebench and WITH the tweaks and OC(a bit less though) I was getting resting temps of 50-70 and temps of 95 while in Cinebench . Installation was easy, pretty cheap, overall a great product in my opinion, so yes I can recommend this especially if you are on a budget or a beginner this can fit for pretty much anyone and would likely be my go too if I ever build a new PC. PS: The screenshot was while I was writing the review, overclocked and tweaked of course, you can tell by the clock speeds.

Amazing Value
This is an amazing cooler for the money. I had been using an old Cooler Master N520, but when I upgraded from a 1st-gen Intel i7 system to a 12th-gen i5, the mounting system was just different enough that I worried about my motherboard bending. So after shopping around and looking at lots of reviews, I chose this cooler.Pros: Cheaper and more efficient than the old Hyper 212 and N520 coolers.The mounting system is intuitive, strong, and easy to use.The cooler fits in even a mid-tower case from 2009.It dropped my temperatures by 30°F across the board, idle or running a load. I am at 78° idle, which is 8° over ambient. Under maximum load (OCCT) , the 12400F does not see temps over 117°. With the N520, I was running probably 15° warmer at idle, and at least 30° warmer under load. The Hyper 212 was about the same.It's very well packaged.It's extremely quiet. Even at maximum load the fans are only turning at 613rpm. Very very quiet cooler. Many tests put it on par with Noctua's much more expensive coolers.It's cheap.Does not have RGB.Thermal paste included.Cons: Very large.The second fan has to be mounted a little higher on the cooler in order to clear the RAM, but it does still fit and works fine.Comes with everything, but the included HUGE tube of thermal paste only has a tiny bit of paste in it. It's plenty to mount the cooler 2-3 times though, so my only complaint is that the size of the tube is a bit misleading. I'm glad they include good thermal paste.Check the pictures to see how much bigger it is compared to a Hyper 212.

Holding it's own, but not excelling on a 7900x
I like this cooler, it looks great and I'm sure it's a solid budget option for most mid range cpus. The rgb lights are bright and it's easy to install. That said I think I may be asking too much. I'm using it to cool a 7900x and while it performs fine, keeping my computer from shutting down or melting, it does run hot. Again, not the fault of the cooler, the 7900x is kind of known for running hot and most people really recommend water cooling for this cpu.If you just want a good cooler that looks nice for a mid range cpu, go for it. If you have a hotter chip like 7900x/7950x or the newer i9s from intel maybe look over to the frozen notte also from thermalright.
