Its simple the market is saturated so you are confused, right?I'll make it easy for you. If you decide to go with Air cooling and are not a fan of the UGLY air coolers on the market this is your best option. It provides sufficient cooling as its paired with my 8700k. I use it to game on Ultra 2k and it keeps my temps low. Looks great and will last you many years more than any AIO which eventually dry up or start having pump issues.If you are after something that simple, easy to install and reliable look no further.However be warnd it is quite a high cooler as in it takes up quite alot of space for eg. It wont fit the Lian Li 011-Dynamic case. On the plus side as big as it is it doesnt block the ram stick so my gskill rgb RAM look very nice along side this cooler.Cool :)

Super pleased with this beast. It's not the best for high overclocks by any means. Though with a slight 2-3 GHz bump on the cores and memory @3000mhz, this cooler keeps it at a cool 45-50 degrees while gaming and silent with a custom fan curve. I'll take silence over a 10-15 degree delta any day as long as it remains in safe ranges.The lights on this are beautiful. Rgb being on everything, some love it and some hate it. If you're one of those who want your case lights keeping your neighbors up, this is highly recommended if you have a case that'll fit such a tall cooler.Mind you also, this thing is heavy. To the point I felt it was almost an unsafe weight for the socket mounting holes.. Tipping the case upright and watching it intently though, it didn't seem to sag when gravity hit it. Just be extremely cautious around it. All around great and quiet cooler. The included controller is a nice to have and is more feature rich than some motherboard software, sadly... Though if you have rgb mobo headers like most new boards do, they go right in as well. The controller is internal so it would require either slipping it out of a PCI slot or opening the case every time to change it. With the headers you miss out on some effects the controller has, but some mobo software can replicate the effects

I was researching the best for the buck Fan cooler for my newest Custom build Gaming--Postproduction work PC with an I9-9000k Intel. and Gigabyte z390 designare motherboard. In most reviews and videos nobody talks about the issues with big size fan coolers that actually block the ram slots preventing you to add more ram modules. In a particular video someone did a review saying that it blocks the memory. But in my case did not have that issue at all. So for those who have this concern you can rest assure the Cooler Master MAP-T6PN-218PC-R1 is quite amazing in noise reduction, nice RGB color control, perform very well so far after a week. I almost change my mind and not open the box when I watch that video review. But I took the risk and mesure it and was just fine. Glad didn't return it. Hope helps for you guys.

Pros:Nice LEDSReally good cooling (compared to my stock wraith cooler)RGB colors have a nice “pop” on the fans and on top of the plastic covering the heat sink.Fans spin fast as well and they’re not “that loud”Last, out of the box AM4 support. Not having to contact customer service for an AM4 bracket is very handy.Cons:A bit priceyRAM clearance, if you have a regular ATX motherboard AND use all 4 ram slots, don’t purchase this, this is because one of the fans covers a single RAM slot, and you can’t rotate the cooler to accommodate.RGB cable is on the short side, if your motherboard has the header nowhere near the CPU, purchase an extension cable to be safe (on the MSI B350 Tomahawk it’s barely long enough to plug-in in, so use that as a reference if you wish to)Backplate is an absolute pain in the butt to install, at least it was for meIf your motherboard doesn’t support RGB, there’s a tool included to change the colors, however, there’s a choice of 8 colors and the tool is powered by MolexIf you don’t like the stock fans the cooler has you’re out of luck, You can’t change them for something else7/10, Cooler master has a good reputation for quality products, but this is more of a “mid-tier” item
