Hello There, when I read my reviews of other buyers, I would not have thought that the cooler is really so great! It fits just barely in my case (Nox Xtreme Hummer). The cooling performance is really very good! There are departures for the somewhat cumbersome assembly, the expansion of the motherboard I would really recommend it to anyone for the assembly, and that the foremost RAM bank is blocked with me (Asus P8P67). For the fan for me, however, is inaudible.
