But now that I have started gaming I noticed anytime when PC is adjusted to Extreme Gaming Performance this fan gets really LOUD and annoying. To the point that people around are asking whats wrong with your machine lol! All though on Silent mode it is defenitely silent. Wouldn't recommended for gaming due to noise. Purchased in July, 2020 and started gaming in December 2020. As far as temperature wise, it gets the jobe done and keeps CPU cool at an average of 40-47 degrees.

Good at first, fan bearing/fins are making clicking sounds
Update, the rgb fan is clicking after 2 months of use... Not happy, now I have to buy a replacement.Works well, as expected for this size cooler. The argb fan is beautiful and vibrant, enough to light up most of the case. The rear vent bracket is totally useless. You can remove it and mount another 120mm fan for push pull air circulation. Which is nice. Top end has sharp openings becareful while handling. Suprisingly silient, actually better than the crossair ll20 argb.Specs Gigabyte Z390 itx with i9 9900k, temp 40c to 55c. Good instructions for both intel and amd sockets.Using a Metallicgear Neo mini, itx case, this cooler will not fit, will use for another computer, or just the fan is worth keeping.

A Year's Worth of Racket
I would never recommend this product to anyone. Their customer service is good (they replaced the first one I purchased without any pushback, but overall, I regret this purchase.The first issue that I had was that the lights will just randomly stop frequently, for about 30 seconds. The fan keeps going but I'm pretty sure that it's not SUPPOSED to just stop displaying color. All my other RGB products stay lit so I assume it's just this product. Anyway, they did ship me a new one when I complained about this so maybe they agree it's a defect.The new one did the same thing. I built this machine in July of last year - and this fan is driving me crazy now with the annoying rubbing sounds it makes. I don't know how to describe it other than "annoying as..."In fact I can barely stand to use my computer because of that sound unless I have headphones on and am listening to something that masks that annoying rattle this thing makes.No, I didn't reach out again to their customer service because best case scenario there, I get another one of these fans that won't last a full year before it will have to be replaced.

It is so good it keeps my ryzen 7 2700x cool and it is silent. 100% worth it
I got this to replace my loud wraith prism cooler on my ryzen 7 2700x and it is so good my temps are only at 47 degrees compared to 80. It also came with the AM4 mounting bracket. If you need a new cooler I would strongly recommend this one. be careful because this cooler is quite tall and it is almost touching the glass in my case. It is also a very good looking cooler, and is super quiet.

Excellent ARGB Cooler with 230+ TDP!
Not only does this CPU cooler come in all white.The cables are sleeved in white as well.The fans are silent,and the adjuster on the rear works excellent for directional air.The addressable rgb are beautiful.They sync with asus and gigabyte fusions just fine.Ive plugged this into my test build and I was impressed.I wish Enermax sold these fans separately as I would buy a dozen easily.The white on white is amazing.Corsair could learn from this.I want to Thank the seller as well.Thank you for the small gift I definitely appreciate it and it was a nice color green!I will be purchasing from Lepa in the very near future.Thank You for a wonderful product.

Effective cooler while being whisper quiet and pretty on the eyes.
I wanted a black and white build and this cooler fit that perfectly. Running handbrake for 20 minutes my Ryzen 5600x never went above 78 degrees. The fan is barely noticeable, you have stick, your head right next to your case to notice. I only have to run the fan at 60% to get maximum cooler. Running the same test, it did not matter if the fan was at 60% or 100% the cooling effectiveness was the same, a solid 78 degrees.This cooler is easy to mount and both the fan cord and lighting cords are plenty long. Mounting was easy and uses the backplate that comes with the motherboard. Ram clearance is fine on my B550 MB, I can use all 4 slots with no problem. The entire thing is white, its not just a white plate on top and metal colored everything else. The plate is white, the fins are white, the mounting base is white.The only con is the fan. It is a 140mm fan but its mounting wholes are positioned for a 120mm fan, so replacing the fan would be difficult. Not sure there are many 140mm fans with 120mm mounting holes.With the cost of PC parts going nutty right now, $50 for this is a very nice price.This review is based on the product I got from another retailer because the one I ordered from Amazon was badly damaged during shipping due to horrible packaging and was promptly returned.

Performs well but mounting hardware could be improved
This CPU cooler performs as expected but mounting it took forever because for whatever reason the spring loaded screws that apply pressure to cpu were not threading correctly as it seemed to take much more force than I'd normally apply. Its possible that I just got a badly threaded screw but it still works as intended so I can't complain too much. Overall this cooler performs well just not sure about there 230W TDP max cooling capacity because my ryzen 5 3600 sits around 60°C when playing games and its only a 65W TPD chip, however it might be because of the mounting issue but either way I'm satisfied with the result.

Had issues with my wraith, this was a great replacement
I had been having fan noise issues with my wraith cooler, it would often produce a lot of fan noise at higher fan speeds, it seemed like a bad bearing.I purchased this cooler to replace the wraith, so far I have been really pleased with it, it keeps my OC'd R7 3800X cool during prolonged gaming. I am thinking about getting another to throw on my FX-9370 system since it has a extremely high TDP requirement that not a lot of cooling solutions can meet.Overall, I'd highly recommend this cooler and I will likely be buying at least one more, maybe even two as I have an old Phenom II X6 1100T that's fun to OC/bench.

Impressive Colour!
At first this was a pretty new product so I took a chance on it. Looking for an all white RGB CPU Cooler for a decent price? This is it! Fairly straightforward install on an AM4 5600X. Ran the RGB header to the motherboard and worked right away! It is pretty quiet being a 140mm fan. Nice top shroud also gives more lighting than just having the usual fan light up as well! Overall pretty pleased with the aesthetic. Seems to perform quite cool as well.

Disappointed in size
Giving it 4 stars because the dimensions was off about less than half a inch. If it weren’t for the spikes it would fit perfectly in my case. For those wondering it doesn’t fit inside the Lian Li dynamic PC - it may fit in the XL thoAside from the massive size - Installation was easy and it looks pretty sharp !!!Will be returning it obviously because I can’t close my side panel, but idle my pc was sitting around 28-30 - playing overwatch it was anywhere between 58-65, my cheap AMD cooler averaged around 60

Installation
Great absolutely fantastic, I even was able to install it in the case with my XFX RX570 GPU and 4 sticks of XPG RAM arround it of course it helps when you have cooler master H500M.
