    Easy to install, efficient and very quiet!

    This ventirad isn't cheap, but it's very easy to fit, even when the motherboard is already in the case. An assembly manual is not essential. I was just a little hesitant about how to attach the fan to the radiator. For a Ryzen 8700G (65W TDP), I reduced the rotation frequency with a Noctua voltage reducer. Without trying to optimise in the bios, the result is an inaudible 'office' PC with which I'm very satisfied. I can't decide on a 'heavy gamer' PC, but this BeQuiet! impresses me very positively.

    Fine, but...

    It does the job, but if you have 5€ more to spend, I recommend the "be quiet! Shadow Rock 3" which has better cooling, and a better thermal paste.

    Does his job.

    Does its job. Quiet fan. More than enough cooling for an Intel Core i7-13700F (2.1 GHz / 5.2 GHz). No need for a gas factory.

    A cool processor!

    This processor fan is really quiet and very easy to install in its configuration. It's also very good value for money. I'd definitely recommend it.

    Good value for money

    Assembly is simple.
    The cooling is silent.
    Very good value for money as the best fans cost more than twice as much to gain only a few degrees.
