The other reviews here have all been mentioned that this CPU cooler combines good cooling performance with a low volume level. I can only agree, but I have a gripe! The installation of the heatsink on my FM2 motherboard is not as hoped. In FM2 / AM2 motherboards does not allow to install this cooler vertically. Ie you can only produce a vertical airflow (from above, where warm air accumulates or below where possibly the graphics card heat generated) and not horizontal through the Case. But since this is my opinion the best way, I must say that is not optimal and I would not recommend it to one hundred percent of users have the AMD processors Alpenföhn chunks for me.
