    Quiet and super efficient constant speed

    Why didn't I buy it earlier. It changes my pc, which remains silent even @ 100%. The assembly is very poorly explained. I had to look on youtube
    My soket is 1151 Intel.

    Perfect

    First real fan installed. No regrets, Noctua is top quality. Installation on AMD socket quite easy with manual and youtube. Very efficient in noise and temperature. But it doesn't allow a crazy overclooking either (that was not the goal in my case).

    Perfect

    Bought to replace the original cooling system of my CPU (Intel2 QuadCore) the result is beyond my expectations.
    While my CPU was over 90 degrees in intensive use (MS FSX with resource intensive add-ons) it is now barely above 70° on the hottest core, the other 3 being below. (I'm in La Reunion in a house without air-conditioning and so it's quite hot in my office)
    Note that it is quite quiet when running (even at the maximum speed of the two fans)
    This ventirad is impressive and it is quite easy to mount.
    I am therefore very satisfied with this purchase.

    A 5 star cooler!

    Very good cooler, I put it on an i5 8600 and in stress test the temperature does not rise to more than 47°C!

    Good product

    It is a good product. The only flaw is related to the instructions, which require some time to understand. It should be a little clearer.
    It is used to cool an i7 6700k not overclocked and in this period of heat the proc rises on average to 54 ° in full use. I think it's reasonable as I have other fans in the tower and the noise is not too bad.

    recommends

    very quiet ters cools down very well I get up to 35 degrees
    the dual fan system is the best and I really appreciate the supplied pods to adapt an ultra quiet mode
    on reducing the voltage of the ventirad

    Well

    No particular worries, cools my processor very well,
    The thermal paste supplied with it is easy to apply and does the job very well.
    I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a long time.

    a real air conditioner for me

    no worries with this fan, it puts my processor (6600k) at 20° on the desk and 30° in game and it is ultra quiet

    ps: my case is a large tower case (Cooler Master Storm Trooper) and the measurements were made with the case fans at minimum

    tip top

    I bought this ventirad for my amd processor which had a tendency to overheat and now no more problems.even in the middle of summer after 3 or 4 hours of playing it doesn't go above 58 degrees.be careful however it's size is impressive and won't fit in many towers.i had to shift a memory strip because it was pressing on it so check the dimensions well before buying it.for the delivery as usual from ldlc fast and well protected.

    Efficiency at the rendezvous

    - Price: Surprisingly affordable for such a reputation!
    The price was a factor in my choice of ventirad, as I was looking to invest in the long term

    - Delivery: Perfect! Thanks LDLC ;)

    - Installation: ULTRA clear instructions, especially since it was my first PC I assembled myself!
    It is possible to mount it in 2 orientations, to choose according to the arrangement of its case fans.

    - Use: Obviously, this monster makes noise. If there is absolute silence around me (which is rarely the case), I think that the TOTAL noise emanating from my PC is a bit high. But I'm sure it doesn't exceed 35 dB (low conversation between 2 people in a room isolated from outside noise). I still have to check which fans I can control to reduce the noise.
    The CPU temperature is acceptable whatever my activity, knowing that I have an Intel Core i7-4790k.
    I have already removed it twice to fully clean my PC. Cleaning and reassembling is easy

    In short, I absolutely recommend it!
