A very effective cooler. It also provides good cooling for the VRM's. On my Socket 1366 PC Northbridge temps are in the low 60's using a tower cooler but with the Shadow Rock 2 they are down to the high 40's. Ram clearance is fine and it will go into a fairly shallow case. You do need access to the back of the motherboard to fit the cooler. It is not a cheap purchase but I believe it is the lowest price for a really effective blow down cooler, You can pay a lot more for other blow down coolers and cheaper ones do not offer the same cooling performance. I have 3 of these, one on an AMD Ryzen 5 3600, one on the LGA1366 and one for a Socket 771 Zeon in a Socket 775 board. Ram clearance and performance is absolutely fine for all these. Highly recommended despite the cost.
