This cooler is amazing. Had a Cooler Master geminii S before, and the difference was unbelievable, and the CM was an excellent cooler. The cooler is really quiet for the performance, and if you own fan controllers, it is a no brainer.
The cooler's performance kicks in when you overclock. I did benchmarks with the CM and the difference in load all stock was 2-3C. Once Overclocked 600Mhz on an AMD, the difference in load was 11-12C. The setup is easy, fast and the thermal paste that comes with it is ranked one of the highest pastes, up there with the AS 5!
The good thing I like about Noctua, is how you can remove the fans, and adjust height whenever. Or even add a third fan on the other side giving about 1-3C drops.
Overall very good cooler for the price. If you are a heavy overclocker, you need this!
