Exceptional!
The parcel was received impeccably, as can be seen on the unboxing page. When you unpack it, it already shows its colours: high quality workmanship, sturdy and sober... seeing it in person is something else, I can assure you!
Installation is clear and easy, in my case on an AMD 3800X, (the only complicated part was getting the 140mm connector through the ventirad to reconnect it). The parts supplied are very practical, the spatula, the thermal paste, the long screwdriver...
Once the installation was complete (ten minutes max, really child's play for as long as you put your mind to it) the final design was more than satisfactory!
[For your information, the previous ventirad was an AMD Wraith Prism, it was suitable for standard use but noisy and relatively efficient for more intensive use, my components have evolved during its lifetime and so have my needs, more demanding games, CAD, photorealistic rendering...
Temperatures easily reached 80°c or more in OCCT stress tests, despite good dust maintenance, the original thermal paste had degraded].
At start-up, not a sound, (The setting on silent, my two 140mm BeQuiet! Pure Wings 2 are noisier, so inaudible! ), quickly in stress test, the temperatures remain incredibly low, 58°c stabilized (always in silent). Otherwise in "normal" use 35°c! So yes, it's not a monster of a processor (despite 4.5Ghz in spades) and I'm starting with a small ventirad, the GAP is huge, this ventirad can also be seen as an overkill for this configuration, but to each his own.
In conclusion, even for more intense configurations (not benchmarked as it is not representative of normal use), this ventirad is ultra efficient and quiet, putting certain AIO watercooling systems in the shade.
Well done DEEPCOOL!
