Pros: Good cooling, space saving
Cons: Included fan is a bit noisy
Picked this up at MicroCenter for $50. As is, it achieved pretty good temps, especially when under load on an 8120, temps won't go over 53c. Definitely great if you're trying to clean up your interior, saved me a ton of space and opened plenty of real estate for things like tall ram heatsinks.
Complaints are the fan. Pretty loud, unless you have a fan controller and drop that thing down to 900 rpm. Decided to switch it out for 2x Scythe Typhoons push/pull. Ultra quiet now and pushes a ton more air through the rad and out the case. The thermal compound is in no way the best, but it's fine. Swapped it out for Arctic Silver compound and saw maybe 3c drop average.
