After a long conversation on the phone, I was well advised (despite a problem with the CPU heatsink that was easily resolved by the after-sales service). I appreciated the time taken to tailor the solution to my needs, and the price was reasonable. I recommend it!
This fan is easy to fit, even if the instructions aren't very clear on some of the steps. On the other hand, cooling is limited for my 65W I7-13700F CPU (excluding turbo). I'm hitting 100°c quite quickly during heavy processing.
It does what it is asked to do, no need to turn the fans up to the max to feel that it is cooling down a lot :D
This is a Be Quiet product!
That means: trouble-free assembly, impeccable finish, impeccable silence...
A 230W TDP top flow! I wanted to believe it but... it never delivers the promised 230W!
Mounted on an i7-12700KF, at 190w the processor is in the red at 100°C...
Forced to cut the intel-boost to limit the CPU to 3,6Ghz instead of 5,00Ghz.
So given for 125w, the CPU peaks at 140w and it's already limited...
Ambient temperature 20°, thermal paste checked twice and case opened...
Be Quiet implies that I have an above normal usage...
If it was only for playing solitaire and watching Youtube, I wouldn't have an i7-12700KF...
So a bit disappointed...
