Key Features
- The true successor of the award-winning Fuma 2 Twin Tower Cooler, dual heatsinks and fans accelerate and enhance heat dissipation for top-tier high performance. 6 x 6mm heat pipes and copper base plate ensure heat from CPU and drop temps. Ideal for mainstream, PC gaming rig and workstations with high TDP processor(13900K, 12700K, 11900K, 11700K, 10900K, 10980XE, 9900k, 9700k, 9600k,3700x)
- The Fuma 3 state-of-the-art sturdy radiator structure combines with premium-quality aluminum fin array with higher fin density which increases the surface area of thermal dissipation and maximizes the cooling efficiency during the operations.
- The improved asymmetrical design allows unrestricted use of any front high RAM slot, and the cut-out fin design gives highly clearance(54mm) of the rear RAM slot(LGA2011/2066). Standing only 154mm tall, the cooler fits most Mini ITX motherboards on the market such as ROG Strix Z690I.
- Using Kaze Flex II 120mm quiet fan(Fluid Dynamic Bearing), FUMA3 uses two different thickness(25mm & 15mm) PWM fans rotating in opposite direction. This generates higher static pressure as well as stable airflow thus pushing cooling performance to maximum while keeping silent operation. Addition fan clips is included to add 3rd fan.
- Premium HPMS V provides Fuma 3 with an easy-to-install experience, making installation a breeze and is highly secure for CPU cooler socket INTEL LGA 1700 / LGA1200 / LGA115x / LGA2066 / LGA2011(V3) AMD AM5 / AM4

This is a terrific midrange cooler with high-end performance! This thing will hang with a Noctua NH-D15. The only spot the Noctua may best the Fuma is at very high fan speeds. If your CPU ever reaches 80-90 degrees, (which it shouldn't be) the Noctua will probably net you 2-3 degrees lower. And even that will be highly dependent on the airflow in your case.Simply put, I don't think there are, currently, many air coolers that can compete with the price to performance offered by the Fuma 2. It's very quiet, though you will hear it a little bit at the highest of RPM, which is most coolers. The included fans are great and run very well, although, I swapped mine out with an even quieter model for the middle fan and an LL series fan from Corsair to match the rest of my build.Keep in mind that the slim fan will likely fit on the front of the cooler and not interfere with any of your four RAM slots, however, if you want to use a normal size fan on the front, such as an RGB fan, it'll likely block your first ram slot, unless you mount the fan higher on the cooler and closer to your case's side panel which will make the cooler not look as flush and streamline. I had four 8GB sticks of RAM and ended up removing two and just going with two 8GB sticks so I could keep the fan flush and perfectly inline with the cooler. My LL Corsair fan blocks the first RAM slot. This cooler is very large but looks so aggressive and imposing, once in your build.Other than that, mounting was as easy as it could be for a large air cooler. All mounting hardware is included as well as instructions. I'm currently running an Intel 8700k overclocked to 4.8ghz on all cores and when running an AIDA64 CPU stress test, my temps never go above 70°. I'm also using a thermal pad and not paste and it works amazing. If you're someone who prefers paste, you could probably bring your temps even lower than mine with some nice Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut or something similar.At the end of the day, this is one of the best bang for your buck coolers avail, with great performance and a terrific look.Highly recommend!

Bought this cooler in conjunction with a Gigabyte z690I Aorus Ultra DDR5 mini-ITX motherboard to cool an intel i7-12700K.Fitting this particular cooler on my motherboard was dicey because of the motherboard form factor; I was forced to remove the M.2 heatsink and the finstack was pressing against the VRM heatsink, however no adverse effects on the performance of my components (VRM, SSD or CPU) has been observed.As advertised, the finstack easily cleared my 34.9mm-high RAM sticks, and if not for Gigabyte engineers allowing their VRM heatsink to creep into the 95mm keep-out zone of the CPU, the cooler would’ve cleared the height of that heatsink as well.Other than the abovementioned motherboard mounting troubles, installation was straightforward, and the excellent magnetized Philips screwdriver included in the box was of great quality, and proved very useful not only for the installation of the cooler, but for the assembly of the entire PC.Strangely, the included fans spun faster than the advertised 1,500 RPM, reaching 1,625 RPM under high load, and although they are not whisper quiet by any means, their sound was not too loud nor distracting.The cooler performed well under realistic load. However, to avoid thermal throttling in synthetic benchmarks, I was forced to undervolt the CPU (adaptive voltage, V-core: 1.290 V, Offset: -100 mV). With the aforementioned undervolt settings I was able to stay under 95°C even after 3 straight hours of prime95 with no thermal-throttling, in fact, the performance in Cinebench r23 30-minute stress test with these settings was more than a thousand points higher than stock.In conclusion, I found the cooler to perform as advertised or even better, and to be well worth the money, especially when compared to the NH-U12A, which is of similar size and performance yet sells for almost double the price. I would whole-heartedly recommend this product, although I would advise some caution when seeking to pair this cooler with z690 mini-ITX boards, as there may be clearance issues.
