Advantages:
Very quiet.

No.
Comment:
A very good cooler, and most importantly a quiet one. Size 160mm in height, choose the case carefully.

Advantages:
Quality, premium quality, reliability, ease of mounting, small size, cooling, silence.
Disadvantages:
Cost, but if you are already tired of ordinary and unfinished coolers, and you want good and high-quality ones, then you can :)
Comment:
The cooler is of premium class, because of its high quality, thick, durable metal, and reliable. The fastenings are very convenient, strong and on springs, which eliminates distortions during installation. This is important because imbalances can negate all cooling. The cooler is small in size, fits into all normal cases, but of course not into office computers :) And it does not weigh very much, it will not put much pressure on the percentage and bend the motherboard even with moderate computer transportation. Also, the cooler does not interfere with the RAM, you can safely buy a high one. The cooler cools well, since it has a classic, most efficient tower-type design. Also equipped with a durable expensive Noctua magnetic centering fan. The cooler is equipped with all anti-vibration systems, therefore it is not noisy. In general, I recommend inexpensive but simple computers for a beautiful life !!! Like mine. But not for overclockers, because they need more powerful and heavier ones for their needs :)

Advantages:
Very quiet, well done. Good size, fits perfectly into a small case
Disadvantages:
At maximum speed, you can still hear it, but this is not critical
Comment:
I bought for 6700k without overclocking in a copus fractal design define mini. Keeps 28 degrees in normal mode and 58 degrees at full processor load. I tried to install the second cooler, I did not see the difference in temperature.

Advantages:
Price-performance ratio, very quiet, reliable.
Disadvantages:
No. The price can be attributed to the disadvantages.
Comment:
Previously, on my processor (i7-4770k) there was a box cooler, now it's just awesome at first, I even thought that it didn't work at all. without load, it spun at the lowest rpm, with a load it was 100-200 rpm more. And then I got used to it and the silence from him is not heard at all. Includes several mounts, thermal paste, instructions and even a special screwdriver. Noctua did their best. Now I'm thinking of changing the coolers in the case to Noctua.

Advantages:
very quiet, easy to install, at minimum revs keeps the six-core i5 8600k in the stress test within 55 degrees.
Disadvantages:
not identified
Comment:
Two coolers have already been purchased. The first is a home server with round-the-clock work, which was assembled with an emphasis on silence and reliability. A year later, when assembling a desktop PC, I could not resist, I bought a second one of the same and do not regret it. Combined with a power supply that can turn off the fan at low load (such as the Corsair RM series), the result is a quiet system.

Advantages:
Quiet. Very quiet. Good heat dissipation.
Disadvantages:
Large enough (in my case, almost rested on the case cover, but nothing happened). Not cheap.
Comment:
It took a very long time to decide whether to take liquid cooling or a tower. As a result, I decided that I was not ready to lose a video card or something else in the event of a water leakage and took Noctua. And he was right. Experience of using more than a year. It did not become noisier by a decibel) Even when unpacking, you feel that this cooler belongs to the premium segment. Everything is done with high quality. Not flimsy. Easy to assemble, easy to install. It works very quietly. The fans on the case are noisier. I coped with overclocking 7700k without scalping to 5 GHz and passing the stress test. Great result. It is worth noting that the cooler sticks out quite strongly and will not fit into every case. I have a millimeter left to the case cover. I already thought that everything was a pipe. So make sure in advance that the cooler will fit (check the dimensions of the case, cooler). It's not just a fan. This is a quality tower. There is also a metal sticker with the cooler) This is the level = D

Advantages:
Very quiet, before that there was Thermaltake Contact 29 with exactly the same fan and back plate from Zalman (a kind of tuning from Frankenstein), but still this one is quieter and better. The temperature is not higher than 73, it used to leave for 86. Very high quality mount. Detailed instructions Just an enchanting metal sticker on the block, ala the Ferrari logo on the hood, only from Noctua)))) Compatible with all boards, slots, memory and vidyahs, if in doubt it fits or not, it will fit, take it. Well, unless of course the case is not super micro.
Disadvantages:
No
Comment:
As I already wrote, even after tuning the VAZ, forgive Thermaltake, it did not work so quietly and well. Therefore, if you want silence and good cooling, take it and do not choose anything else, otherwise waste your money in vain, do not repeat my mistake, take this one right away. For a bunch, all the other fans in the case are also on Noctua and you will know the silence!

Advantages:
Quality and equipment!
Disadvantages:
the price, but here in doubt. would be a little cheaper.
Comment:
this is a masterpiece of its kind! quality, everything is included! collect pleasure) the most important thing is quiet, high-quality, it cools well and does not overlap the memory bars, all slots are free) put on the 8700K composition

You do not need to tighten the screws with springs to the maximum, you can squeeze the chip, and problems may arise, as in my case the computer did not start, or started with one RAM bar ... I tightened it moderately and everything returned to normal!

Advantages:
Quiet, efficient, high quality
Disadvantages:
No
Comment:
Installed on i7-4790, did not overclock; idle temperature - 34 ° C, in "heavy" games - around 50 ° C, maximum in the test - 71 ° C. The price is slightly higher than we would like, but it is justified by the quality of assembly and parts. The cooler is pleasant to print and assemble (reminded me of furniture from Ikea) - kits for different systems are laid out in different boxes, each with its own instructions. The set includes a noise-reducing adapter (it seems to me quite quiet without it), a full syringe with thermal paste (although only a drop is needed to install), mounts for a second fan (you can buy and install if you wish) and an impromptu screwdriver. Can be installed parallel or perpendicular to memory modules.
