Great cooler with great color. Too bad the color effects are very few. Depends on motherboard

This cooler is amazing! It is ultra quiet, even during a stress test, and gets decent temperatures. When overclocked, my processor doesn't get past 75 degrees. It looks really nice, too. The RGB ring around it adds a lot of beauty to this part. I wish the AMD logo on it was RGB also, but sadly it just appears white and there is nothing that you can do about it.

Was surprised to find this cooler included with my FX-8350, didn't think it had RGB LEDs. Super quiet fan. Tried a cheaper no brand cooler and ran Prime95, then installed this one and ran Prime95 again, and this one keeps the CPU cooler by at least 10 C, and much more quieter. The cables to connect to the fan to change the LED colours or animation are not obvious. I connected just one in my build to the USB header, set my colour, and then disconnected the cable. Even after no power, the fan remembers its RGB setting.

A good lesson not to buy things just because they're pretty, but man is this cooler pretty. Looks aside, this thing was a pain to get on my motherboard, and I have no idea why. Couldn't get one side on for the life of me, and the only way I could get it on securely was with one screw missing. It doesn't make a difference though, as the fit is extremely tight and even without the screw it's not going anywhere. Also, be aware that the led ring is tinted slightly cyan if you set it to white.

Cooler: So I went with an AMD Wraith Spire Cooler, I know the listing is the Max, I just didn't add the custom part. It keeps things cooled quite well and as I probably won't be doing any overclocking, it should work fine.

Initially was a little loud and would spike at times, but after setting the fan curve in the BIOS is works well and keeps the CPU cool. I think if I want to OC in the future i'll upgrade to the NZXT Kracken or something like that. The RGB is nice and its nice that it's a stock cooler.

The temps are better than the standard stealth cooler. However, you are forced to use the Coolermaster SW to control the RGB unless you want the default colors. There were no instructions in the box mine came in so I was not sure which cables to use (There is an RGB header and a USB Header). I ended up using the USB header so I could control it with the Coolermaster SW.

got this solely for the looks. Have a mild overclock and no problems so far with temps

love the RGB and the AMD sign, and the fan is amazing

Get a 212 Hyper with a cheap SP fan and save yourself 80 bucks. I only got this because of case limitations. Lights don't do much for me and its kinda ugly looking for a upside down pyramid. If you need performance get a Noctua D series and two fans mean less noise *** well when controlled. I am usually really good at getting a good cool PC environment, but with this dispersing air in all directions it became more of overkill with positive pressure and hope the air gets forced out.
