I got this air cooler after seeing rave reviews on YouTube, pcpartpicker and new egg. For the price, they said it couldn't be best and it competes with liquid cooling at less than half the price of most name brand liquid cooler setups.
At first glance this thing was very intimidating out of the box. However putting it together was not a big deal at all with the included manual. The standard fan it comes with seems to max out at around 1,395rpm on my rig. Not terrible. What's better is that even on max I can barely hear any noise from the fan.
I LOVE that this fan is so quiet.
While keeping it keeps my AMD8570 (AM3+) at around 19~24c. Under load it's around 40~45c which isn't bad. This is at stock speeds with no oc. While running renders for 3 hours with 8 cores running a flat 100% my temp still never broke 45c. I don't think there are many other jobs that would hold all 8 cores at a pure 100% like rendering can and will do.
My case is the nzxt phantom (older model), which houses this with lots of room.
My motherboard is the Crosshair Formula-Z AMD AM3 by ASUS. This board works WONDERFULLY with this cooler, there is ample space for the heatsink no matter which way you want to rotate it. On my configuration I have the fan facing the memory sockets which sucks air in from the front and blows it out the back. With this motherboard configuration all 4dimm slots are free.
If you're looking for a mobo that will fit this without blocking your ram, and you're using an AMD CPU if recommend the Crosshair Formula-Z. You'll be able to use all 4 slots of ram of any size.
If you're using Intel: the manual comes with instructions on how to use this cooler with Intel sockets as well as all the hardware you'll need.
For the price this is a great cooler!

YOU'D THINK YOU WERE COOLING ON WATER!! AND THATS NO B.S.
After a two weeks of use in a Zalman H1 this thing rocks but dam its big make sure you have a big or wide tower if its a mid-tower full towers should have no problem unless there is a internal build complication. the temp on my fx-8370 are at idle 17-18c when just surfing the web with edge and torch running about ten tabs open it sits at about 23c when gaming and why i love this heat sink it never goes over 53c and its kinda funny cause the lower the resolution the higher the cpu temps i got a theory for this... the card which is a r9 380 4gb and when the card isn't working hard the cpu is getting thrashed but when the card is getting thrashed the cpu isn't. anyway im thinking on changing the fan to a corsair with blue l.e.d. but for now i will leave it and enjoy not worrying about aio water cooler failing which wasn't making any noise my next upgrade though is a i7-6800k or 6850k not sure about the mobo but 32gb or ram will be the last of that upgrade unless zen produces some much needed performance for gaming but i want the pleasure of gaming and multi tasking with minimal performance decrease. so if you need a cooler and your rocking something under 125w tdp and want to overclock this may be an option for you but anything beefy like fx-8350 and above a static base clock would be more reasonable so good luck
