    Prepare your parts hole, because this is a big boy. Will it fit? Guess you'll have to try to find out.

    Got it on sale on amazon (paid like, 60 bucks or something at the time) and it is a BEAST. Cools hot CPUs and provides airflow through the whole case with its 140mm fan. Its also super quiet even when at full speed.

    excellent cooler, with excellent ram compatibility. makes a whistling noise if you install a second fan, for little temperature improvement.

    from completed build 5900x Update to my daily driver.

    The Noctua cooler is doing a good job of keeping the 5900x cool. For gaming and normal operations, the U14S is more than enough cooler for the job.

    Insanely quiet. Keeps my 65W R7 5700X at 50°C under load.

    This cooler keeps the 5700x very cool, no problem at all. Future proofing, I'll be able to keep the U14S when I upgrade to the 5800X3D.

    I also bought the NA-HC6 chromax white heatsink covers. I think they look pretty right on, and the white version looks perfect in the black and white HZXT H7 Flow.

    Great cooler with great results, and it was easy enough to install.

    Keeps my i5-13600k cool so far. CPU hasn’t gotten above 60 C, and doesn’t solidly go above 50 C either (with fan curve shifted -5 C from default). Makes a bit of noise, but it’s not a bad noise. Straightforward to install. Make sure it fits in your case, though.

    edit: CPU got over 60 C, but that was briefly while doing compression tasks, so it’s definitely acceptable.

    Incredibely quiet. Way overkill, keeps my cpu at 73 degrees Celsius under full load (5600X oc to 4.51 Ghz all core), build quality is great, packaging straight foward. Also incredibely happy as it fits within a litteral millimeter of my side panel and Ram

    The performance of this thing hides its poo colour. Quiet as a mouse, even under load, and 5600x has never gone above 65C. Best mid-range air cooler, cant recommend it enough.
