AIOs and watercooling are for overclocking only, and even then... as today's CPUs are extremely powerful, frankly, overclocking is just for show. So I put a good Noctua on my I5 14500 and it doesn't go above 55°C, even though it does a lot of computing!
I liked the quality of the product. Now I haven't installed it on my I7-12700K processor yet, so I'll reserve comment on cooling with different CPU loads.
At a time when every gamer pc has its own watercooler filled with RGB and at a time when mine has just given out after 3 years of intensive service (be careful, it doesn't warn you when it gives out unfortunately), I decided to go back to the old days with a good radiator, without any surprises^^. And here I say thank you to NOCTUA. The SECUFIRM 2 system is a joy to install, it's reliable, very solid. The full black tower size radiator is very well thought out and fulfils its role perfectly (approx. 30 deg under Windows and 60 to 70 deg when playing on an I9 12900). It's a good idea to buy it with your eyes closed.
Very nice product, well finished and delivered with a lot of parts for fixing as well as thermal paste. Very easy to install and in the end quite quiet.
