The only compact air cooler that supports 130w tdp
I use it with a i7 4930k that has 130w tdp and performs rather well at 800rpm 60degrees 1/2 load.

Very good product, without doubt the best ventirad for socket LGA 775
Good for the average processor, but the Shadow Rock LP couldn't keep my Ryzen 5 3600 at bay.
Quite ok for the size...
Pro
- Size
- Price
- suitable up to i7 6700k
Contra
- Managed to tame my 6700k but didn't stand a chance with the Ryzen 3600
- Assembly
Very good
Used together with Intel i7-8700. I first tried the fan that came with it - unfortunately very bad noise and temperature. Now there is finally peace in the case.
Installation: It looks very simple on the video. But the MoBo is not installed in the case. If you have to install the fan when everything is already inside, it takes a little patience.Pro
- Everything you need

Contra
- The fastening is a bit fiddly.
Perfect for me!
To show off the LED fan behind the tinted glass, I wanted a top-down cooler for my Ryzen 5. After filtering the products for top-down with AM4 socket, only this cooler remained. Fortunately, it was also in stock :)
The cooler mounting as well as the mounting of the fan by means of clamps was quite fiddly. But it was my first time, so the lack of practice made it even more difficult. The fact that the heat-conducting paste is already on is both a joy and a sorrow. I couldn't do anything wrong with the dosage, but I couldn't practise attaching the cooler because the paste was spread everywhere.
The heat sink is not centred over the CPU, but shifted slightly to the left or right. In my case, the fan is almost in the middle of the case, which is a stroke of luck, at least from an optical point of view. However, the cooler protrudes over the RAM slots on my mATX board and space is tight, but there is still a good 1-2mm of air ;) I have installed Corsair Vengeance LPX, which have low heat sinks.
The workmanship is top. Small details like the end caps on the heatpipes are a joy. I would have liked the heatpipes themselves a tad better in silver. I also like the low construction.
I can't say much about the cooling performance. The CPU fan stays in the low speed range even during games and graphics applications. I conclude that the CPU stays nice and cool even under load.
Finally, it remains to say that the cooler comes in a nice package with everything needed for assembly.Pro
