this was so easy to install i just wish i had bought this before i built my computer. it took longer to get the mobo off then to put the cooler on. one thing i would recommend is : if your like me and have a in and out fan set up make sure you point your fans in the right direction so they wont fight your case fans . the first go around i had the cooler fan blowing against a case can the was blowing against the cooler so they just fought each other with the winner being hot air.other then that i would 100% recommend, all the people that down this the only thing that's better is water cooling

This cooler keeps my i5-9600k plenty cool. I have it lightly overclocked and I haven't even ever seen the temp above 60 C, but I haven't put my cpu under all that much stress yet. I didn't experience any difficulties installing it and it seems to be nice quality. It comes with some mounting hardware for amd boards but I can't comment on those.I was a bit hesitant to get this based on the lack of customer info and the only review on this thing being 1 star, but went for it anyways and it woks great!

Building on an Asrock B460 Steel Legend4 sticks of Corsair Vengeance RAMPros: cools great on a 10700F - I stress tested it and could not get it above 81CLooks pretty good in the buildPrice, for $39 can't beat the cooling per dollarInstruction Diagrams are detailedCons: for an inexperienced builder it is a pain to install. Brackets are confusing, clips that hold on the fans are cumbersome, and depending on what motherboard you are using, you have to adjust the fan positioning to clear the RAM even if you are using low profile RAM but only if you are using 4 sticks which I was.The biggest issue was I installed it on the MB and then place it into the case. However, I didn't notice that the 8pin connector was behind the fan at the top of the case. This caused me to have to take the fans off the cooler and try to plug in the connector. I was not able to do that so I had to take off the entire assembly, plug in the connector and screw the heatsink back into place.My advice would be to plug in the 8pin connector to the MB before affixing it to the case that will save you some time.Overall once I got it installed and running it worked great.
