There are two main problems with this product:
1) Poor design means that it does not move the air towards the back of the case (horizontally) but blows it upwards (vertically). It therefore does not effective cool my Ryzen 3700x which now runs at around 50c at idle.
2) No fan speed control. Fans will always run at 100% all the time regardless of load.
My CPU too hot using this cooler I will have to look for one which is designed better
I bought this product with the assumption that a company with the reputation of Noctua wouldn't release this kind of rubbish. Realistically, with the poor cooling design of this cooler, the fans probably need to run at 100%.
Overall I regret purchasing this cooler and it has put me off buying Noctua in the future.
