5.0 out of 5 stars works great
Reasonably priced. Has good build quality. It was easy to install. It keeps the cpu much cooler than my stock OEM cooler and is very quiet.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worked so well I didn't need it anymore :)
I had an old i5-2500K that I just couldn't bring myself to get rid of, and decided that it was either time to let it go or get it to run at a useful speed. I was running overclocked at 4.4Ghz on the stock Intel cooler and getting temps of around 81c under full load, so to go further I needed better cooling., This looked like a great budget option.The result was a 30c drop in core temps while running a stress test! Averages dropped to 51c and max observed temp was only 54C! Awesome!With that kind of cooling performance I was ready to let the horses run on that old processor, and run it did! Right up until the 12-year-old Gigabyte z68 motherboard decided that 4.9GHz and 1.385v was just too much for its old components and beta UEFI. It died a good death right there on the dining room table... a bittersweet end to a legendary combo.But that no fault of the cooler. Performance was beyond expectations. It was well-packaged, easy to install, well-made, had everything I needed including thermal paste (saved me a trip to the basement), and man was it QUIET. Excellent cooler on-par with another brand I just installed that cost twice as much.I'm not sure whether I am going to hang onto it or not since I just ordered a replacement CPU that comes with a stock cooler (budget build - stock is good enough), but for under twenty bucks I wouldn't mind keeping this in the parts bin in case one of my machines needs a replacement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps my 12600K at 60*c or less at 100% load. Easy install.
Was worried it would not be enough for my CPU, but glad I didn't get the bigger Peerless version as the single tower smaller and cheaper SE 120 keeps the CPU cool as a cucumber at 100% CPU core load in sustained Cinebench testing. Outstanding! Really never going above the 60*C range plus or minus a couple degrees depending on room temp. The fan doesn't even have to ramp up speed in any noticeable way.I was also worried about some reviews saying the screws were hard to get started when mounting the cooler tower to the mounting plates. The screws with spring on them screwed right on without hardly any pressure and then tightened down nice and tight. Making sure to only screw a little bit on either screw at a time to keep even pressure so thermal paste doesn't squeeze out uneven to one side.The fins are easy to bend so be careful. They're super easy to bend back into place though.How they offer one of the best budget coolers at this price is a mystery to me, but I am glad! Even if the fan doesn't last too long, I still see it as a win even if I have to buy a nicer fan to replace it. Still cheaper overall than what used to be the options before Thermaltake took over the budget cooler market.
4.0 out of 5 stars NEW LOWEST IDLE TEMPS OF 35°C!!
Was very easy to install, a video helped explain how to put on the fan clips (that was the only part i struggled with in instructions) i feel that it's very reliable as an upgrade from stock cpu cooler from 50°C idle temps to 35°C!! I am surprised to say that the 4 star reviews i've seen are actually accurate to the product function :) it fit the case well, it's quiet asf, looks strong and works well, i only max at 70°C on COD Warzone. on the base 4 core AMD cpu, and it was only $15 is crazy, very happy.
works well and quietly
I bought this to replace a dead liquid cooler. It was easy to install and keeps my AMD cpu cooler than the original liquid cooler when it was working. So far so good.
VERY quiet for the price
I don't have much experience with tower coolers however this one in particular was used outside my personal system. Lets just say I'm buying another one. (can barely hear it over my own footsteps)
ما ناسبني
ينفع للمعالجات من الجيل اللي قبل انما الجيل الجديد صعب صعب يتحكم ف حرارتها جدا صعب
Misleading description - doesn't fit AM5
It was advertised by Bolo US as suitable for AM5. It doesn't. It is missing mounting brackets required for AM5. My build was delayed, I missed the return window, and now have to shop for another cooler.
Advertised in title for being compatible with LGA 1700 but actually you need to buy it separately.
Assuming from the listening title that it would support LGA 1700 but the included brackets only support AM4/115x/1200.
