Cooper master
Very good product. Except I couldn't install it. It's someone else who installed it for me and it works very well.
Cooler Master 'sHyper TX3 Evo features 3 direct-contact heatpipes with a base designed to minimise the space with the processor. As a result, it provides excellent heat conduction and is barely audible: 17 dBA at minimum speed. Its outstanding performance is achieved through the use of a quiet 92mm PWM fan with a wide speed range. In addition to the fan's quick release system, clips are provided to allow you to add a second fan to increase your cooling performance. It is supplied as a bundle with the Fox Spirit Cryo 15 thermal paste for even greater efficiency.

Very good product. Except I couldn't install it. It's someone else who installed it for me and it works very well.
I'm going to rate LDLC more than this Master Hyper TX3 Evo cooler which works very well and meets expectations.
The only criticism is the plastic legs a bit cheap but considering the price of the ventirad there is nothing to complain about either.
I'm not sure if it's a good one or a bad one, but it's a good one.
Sometimes I expect people to say I order on Amazon with Prime and I get my products the next day, etc. Yeah, but you pay a subscription and sometimes you pay more for the hardware.
With LDLC you also get your stuff the next day and you don't pay a subscription... and you buy from a real specialist site in France.
I have never been disappointed with my orders from LDLC.
And when you're happy, you have to say so too!
I recently changed my motherboard, processor and RAM and thought that improving the cooling system of the processor would not be too much. My budget being limited, I chose this ventirad and I don't regret it. As Jean-François M said in his review, the TX3 booklet doesn't mention its compatibility with Intel 1200 sockets but it is thanks to the intermediate position of the screws on the attachment arms.
The fan is quite quiet, and so far I have never felt the slightest rise in temperature of the computer even when I put my hand on the side panel at the processor!
Mounted on an I5-10600 socket 1200
It is compatible with socket 1200, but the documentation doesn't mention it (probably because the socket didn't exist at the time of printing). So I went through a trial and error process to place the mounting brackets. I didn't see at first that there was an intermediate position because it is so discreet (screw in the middle). When I couldn't find it, I used the original fan delivered with the processor, which allowed me to do some tests with OCCT to see how the fan reacted to the CPU stress and to get some values. Only then did I notice that the intermediate position for 1156/1155 sockets was the same as for the 1200, and I was finally able to install it.
Results at 100% CPU usage (6 cores):
Original Ventirad: 32°-35° at rest, 68°-70° under stress with peaks at 92°-95° at test startup!!!
Ventirad TX3 EVO: 19°-21° at rest, 58°-61° under stress, no peak.
So it's all good.
As far as noise is concerned, unlike the original fan, I didn't even hear the fan's power increase, I even wondered if the test had started!
I took this pack with the Cryo 15 to test. It has a viscosity problem that prevents it from sticking to the processor, it is too hard, not sticky. I even put the paste on a cutter blade to heat it up hoping to make it stickier, but nothing happened. What you spread on one side comes off on the other. I don't doubt for a second its thermal qualities, but for the implementation, it was not possible with my sample. Moreover, considering its hardness, I am not sure that the pressure of the ventirad is enough to crush the paste, with the risk of seeing air between the processor and the ventirad...
