First aftermarket cooler, since the stock Laminar RM1 of the 13700f was too noisy for the little cooling it offered. The difference was huge - about 20 degrees lower under load and zero noise (with the low-noise adaptor from the package installed, it should be noted).

Fantastic product overall, as other reviews have also stated. Carefully packaged, with all the necessary tools included, and the components separated between Intel and AMD with corresponding instructions. Although I am a complete beginner, the installation process took about 30 minutes, as it is relatively simple and the instructions are very precise. I believe that the included thermal paste is definitely enough for at least two more applications after the first one. Sufficient cooling (with a peak of 70 degrees under load so far and a previous peak of 92) and zero noise.

On the negative side, the instructions do not come in Greek for those who would need them. The heatsink is indeed relatively bulky - it fit in the MSI MAG Vampiric 100L case with the B760 Gaming X AX motherboard, but one fan remained outside. I would use it as a case fan anyway, as suggested in another review, but the size should be noted for smaller cases. Finally, I would prefer the price to be closer to 100 euros than the current 130.

At Noctua, they have taken it to another level. Firstly, the packaging contained everything one could need for its installation (yes, even a screwdriver), but what impressed me the most was how organized and tidy everything was inside the package. As for the cooler itself, it was perhaps the easiest installation I have ever done. The included thermal paste seems to be very good so far, and I see no reason to change it. I initially installed it on an 8700k, which did not exceed 77 degrees package temp in furmark, and then on a 7800X3D where it remains now. The 3D, like the entire 7000 lineup and especially the X and X3D models, runs quite hot despite its low power consumption. In a case with poor airflow due to tempered glass on all sides, with a little tweaking of the fan curves on both the cooler and the case, it reaches 89 degrees package temp in cinebench after 10 minutes. Based on what I have read online in Reddit and reviews, these numbers are expected unless you activate eco mode through the BIOS, which limits power consumption to 65W. Nevertheless, in games it reaches a maximum of 70-75 degrees package temp, where the cooler works relatively relaxed. The fans are not very loud unless they approach 80%, at which point they can be considered annoying. However, wearing headphones, I don't hear anything, and even if I take them off, it doesn't bother me. Overall, it could ideally be 30-40€ cheaper, but even at the current price of 130€ at the time of evaluation, it's worth the money.

30 years with coolers and water coolers, In my opinion, this is the best choice I have tried, the reasons are as follows:
A) Build quality, the soldering on the heatpipes is perfect, smooth curves and no visible soldering, the plate is flawless with a mirror finish, the matte black color is painted on everything, including the screws and the base, the fins are numerous, thin, yet very sturdy and durable, the fans are the best in their size, running at 1,000 RPM and you can't hear anything, they have great pressure and flow, they can even work at 0 RPM without hearing the motor, the braided cable is of good quality, although the king in cables is the silent wings 4 pro.
B) Functionality, it has 100% RAM compatibility (just make sure to install it in the correct orientation, with the owl facing the output side, see my photo, that side is narrower), it fits in almost all cases, even Mini ones like mine, unlike water coolers, it never breaks, it has no leaks, the pump doesn't get stuck, it doesn't collect dust quickly like refrigerators, it doesn't require specific space or layout to perform properly, and above all, it is noiseless.
C) Performance, it is the best cooler in the world in its size, compared to air cooling, it has the best performance-to-noise ratio, even compared to 14 or 15 fans, even from Noctua, the best fans in a ready-made all-in-one cooler are the T30 and SW4 pro, which are sold separately, if we compare it to a liquid cooling system, nothing in the 12 and 24 range can stand next to it, and if it does, it's only with a lot of noise, only triple 36 fans perform better and silently, but unfortunately, they are expensive and require a lot of space, also, their pump must be premium because such a large cooler requires high pressure, which means noise, so we're talking about a price range of 300 euros and above.
Also, something that some people with liquid cooling don't know is the steady state, which means that when the water reaches a high temperature, for example, 80 degrees, it takes a long time to cool down, with air cooling, the temperature drops 4 times faster.

Tip... Those who buy it will see that it has two fans, one push and one pull, this works perfectly when the case doesn't have good airflow and when both fans are running at over 1,500 RPM. In 90% of cases where there are two fans in the front pushing and two fans in the back exhausting, removing the pull fan will result in a 4-5 degree decrease in temperature. The reason is that when there is a pull fan on top of the cooler, it greatly restricts the airflow of the push fan, especially when it is close to the case exhaust.

So try removing one fan and leave only the push fan, as shown in my photo, and add another fan in the case as an exhaust.

Tip2... Pay attention to the orientation, one side is wider than the other, the narrow side goes towards the RAM, and the wider side goes towards the back of the case. To avoid confusion, remove the fans and you will see the base screws from the top... the side with a greater distance from the screw is the side that should face the RAM (it is shown in the instructions that no one looks at)

One of the best coolers currently available. The installation is easy without covering the memory with the fan (very important if you have RGB memory and tall ones). It is quiet and provides excellent cooling! 62 degrees Celsius processor temperature in Full Load stress test with room temperature at 22 degrees Celsius. I should mention that the processor is operating at Max Power Limit!! set through the BIOS.

It is very beautiful and sturdy, with the fans not protruding from the cooler in height and width, and it fits comfortably in a Midi Tower and on the side in terms of motherboards with coolers on the VRM. At least in my setup, I didn't encounter any problems.

I also want to mention that this CPU Cooler has a detail that plays a significant role in cooling in my opinion. It consists of 7 heat pipes compared to others with 6 much larger heat pipes, even from the same company. It has a different arrangement and a larger number of fins on the fans, thus having increased performance but also a higher price.
