What? I cant hear you!
My Ryzen fan was plenty quiet during idle but above 30% it starts to sound like a UFO with a bad hover drive. buzzzzzzzz booooo buzzzzzzzzzz booooo, OMG It was driving me nuts. So I bought this. Now I hear nothing. My main fans are Be Quiet shadow wings 2 and my GPU cooler is a Artic turbo 3 so what i mean to say is my system is now as quiet as silence. No Wurries!
Pro's :
I cant hear it,
It runs at slightly cooler than the stock wraith cooler
It comes with everything to do the job even a all metal screwdriver
It comes with a metal Noctua badge, I really like that.
It fits and works with Ryzen and can be orientated left to right or up and down fin wise.
Also comes with a great big tube of CPU lube, Thermal paste that is! grey gold. Thou I used my own so I can't speak for its heat moving quality. But a back up tube will last me for years!
Con's:
I can now here the ringing in my ears.
knitpicking
I didn't like the all metal screwdriver, its not magnetic and slippery could lead to dropping it.
and I'm not in love with Noctua Blown and Light Brown color scheme ,thou I feel the color is a nice nod to anyone that knows the brand and makes you instantly say "you got a noctua"
Would I recommend it. Only if you got are plan to make the rest of your system quiet. otherwise the wraith cooler sat me around 45 idle and 55-70 under load and Noctua is about 45 idle and 50-65 under load which is not that big a deal. Unless you like it quiet. I do I do Ido
