ENERMAXETS-T50 Axe Addressable RGB CPU Air Cooler 230W+ TDP for Intel/AMD Univeral Socket 5 Direct Contact Heat Pipes 120mm PWM Fan Black: ETS-T50A-BK-ARGB (ETS-T50-BK-ARGB)

Great beefy CPU cooler that's compatible with many processor types. In my application I used it for an x58 Intel processor (1366 form factor). Instructions were clear and easy to follow. The ARGB was nice too, although my particular motherboard did not have the ARGB header so I was stuck with the default color cycle on the fan. Looks cool anyhow.

My previous cooler was struggling to keep my i5-6600k cooled at stock clocks, let alone over clocked.This bad boy not only keeps it cooled at 4.5Ghz, there is clearly tons of headroom to overclock it some more. Something I have not been accustomed to with the 6600k. This will be my go to cooler going forward for my next builds. If it could fit in my 3700x build II would buy it again, but that is a mini-atx case!

Works great with the x570 Elite board and the Ryzen 3700X. No issues with mounting and clearance with taller RAM sticks. Tall (just barely clears the glass side panel in my Phanteks P400 case), but I'd imagine it's much universal than the other taller, larger coolers on the market from Noctua and BeQuiet.

from time of purchase to just recently it was working fine, fast speed and bright led color, quiet as well. however the blades started to have a bit of noise, it was like it was off balance and could feel a moderate vibration throughout the case and hear some noise, when powered off and inspecting the fan, it would freely turn smooth up to almost a full rotation and could feel a jump in the rotation like a dead section of a magnetic rotor over all it lasted a while and was pleasing to look at and moved air well off the fins of the cpu cooler.
