    Was expecting nhd15 levels of performance, at best. What I got was far superior cooling. I cant guarantee there wasnt an issue with the mount of my nhd15 to my i7-12700k, however, temps are a solid 8c cooler during Aida or p95 stress tests. You can tell this cooler was engineered very thoughtfully. Its densely constructed with a thick copper base. Heat pipes saturate every point of contact with the IHS. If I had to nitpick, the fans can get quite loud at full chat, but they perform excellently even at idle. Cant fault this cooler in basically any way, its very impressive. Installed in Fractal Torrent Nano.

    My cpu temperature was above 90c degrees for a while that I realized the water cooler pump stopped working, then I bought this air cooler and it solved the heating problem and even cooler than the water cooler, very satisfied with the results. Highly recommended.

    Late to review, but after almost a year of use it has been perfect. Quiet and cools great. The 7 heat pipe construction can handle very high TDP CPUs. I picked this over the legendary NH-D15 because it is quicker to source a replacement 120mm square fan and the form factor. You can also experiment with other competitors 120mm fans.

    Switched over from a hyper 212 Evo and my temps dropped by about 10-11c, at idle Im around 32-35c. Im using an Asus tuf x570 gaming plus wifi and a Lian LI lancool II mesh so theres no clearance issues. Absolutely loving the look of it!

    Performs great, looks great. Will only let you down if you are trying to cool Intels 250w monsters.

    Got this to cool an intel i9 12900k. I generally dislike water coolers because as sound as an aio maybe I am uneasy having water near electronics. Anyway, I am able to keep an i9 12900k in the 80 to 82c range with peak temperature of 82c p cores overclocked to 4.8Ghz E cores 3.7Ghz under heavy load. In gaming it floats around in the 60c range. So if you are using your rig for gaming only you could maybe push those clock speeds a bit higher and remain in an acceptable range. Fans do not interfere with DIMM slots on a MSI Z690 EDGE board which is huge for me because I was concerned about the ram clearance. Overall, if you dont want to use water cooling this is definitely the next best thing you can buy. Pricey, but worth it!

    Se trata de un disipador por aire de mucha calidad. Embalaje premium. Cuenta con 2 ventiladores de 120mm y pieza central metálica para disipar calor pasivamente con conector de 4 Pines. Adaptador para conectar ambos ventiladores. Ademas incluye pasta térmica Noctua. POSITIVO. Funciona mejor que la líquida MSI de 120mm que fallo antes del año. He mejorado las temperaturas y el rendimiento en un porcentaje alto. El anclaje a la placa base es sencillo pero ha de ser hecho con cuidado por el peso del dispositivo. En color negro no es tan desagradable de ver como los tonos crema y marron del modelo cĺásico. NEGATIVO. Estéticamente es una pieza grande y estorbosa de aspecto nada agradecido, y con un peso que hace pensar que con el tiempo traera problemas a la placa base. El sistema para conectar los ventiladores al disipador es tedioso y luce frágil y barato. No incluye piezas adicionales. El ruido es considerable. Mas si vienes de una líquida. CONCLUSIÓN. Aunque no ayude al aspecto de tu ensable, no sea super silencioso como prometen, lo cierto es que es una pieza que funciona ESTUPENDAMENTE y que no necesita mayor mantenimiento y que al fallar lo sabras de inmediato porque no giraran o lo haran mal los ventiladores. Lo recomiendo aunque sacrifiques estética y tenga sus matices al instalar porque podría chocar o rozar memorias o, como en mi caso el disipador de la placa base. Necesitará una caja con espacio para instalarse.
