I've always used the stock cooler that came with my CPUs because my logic was that those coolers are designed to work with those CPUs and I don't over clock therefore did not need a bigger cooler.
However, I started having over heating issues on my PC. My guess was maybe the stock CPU cooler just wasn't doing its job as well anymore. I'd start up a game and within a couple minutes my PC would shut down and then start back up.
After doing some researching my two options were either get a new PSU as a failing power supply can cause the issues I was having or I could buy a new CPU cooler since I noticed that my computer was idling mid to high 50 degree Celsius. And would jump to the high 60s and mid 70s under gaming load.
Obviously I went for the cheaper option and bought this bad boy. Let me just say outright that I wish I had bought this or a similar cooler a lot earlier.
As you'll read in other reviews this thing is really quiet. The stock CPU upon pressing the power on my case to turn on my PC would spin up to max and slowly drop down to idle speeds as the PC booted up. Not really too big of a deal but it was quite a noticeable noise upon start up. However, with this CPU I no longer have that noise. I caught myself the other day pressing the button and pausing because I wasn't sure if the PC was actually booting or not because of how quiet it was. Even as I sit at my PC and take my headset off and try to hear the PC I hear nothing. No more fan noise. I used to not mind the minor fan noise that came from my PC, but compared to how quiet it is now those stock coolers are loud.
Another thing im quite impressed with is just how well it cools. I went from idling in the mid 50s down to low 40s and sometimes even lower into the high 30s if I have my AC on and my room is cooler. Just idling is almost a 20 degree difference on my system. And of course under load it maintains an almost 20 degree difference between stock and this cooler.
I've yet to hit 60 degrees while playing any game since I've installed this cooler. It barely gets above the mid 50 degree range under load and I've tested multiple games and over a longer period of time and it maintained its temp in that range. I've kept an eye on temps ever since I've installed it and over the course of a week or so temps have not returned to pre cooler levels. So you know its not a fluke.
My biggest complaint is that the instructions that it comes with aren't exactly crystal clear and it took me a minute or two to sit and make out what exactly the pictures were supposed to be depicting. However, a quick video search on youtube cleared things right up and I got it installed. Over all not too complicated of an install. Its all fairly straight forward once you understand what to do. One thing to keep an eye on is the size of this bad boy. While it wasnt quite as big as I was expecting, it is still pretty big. Make sure you look at its dimensions and know the dimensions of your case to ensure that it will fit in with the panels on.
This cooler does come with some thermal paste with which to apply and install the cooler but I had some higher quality stuff laying around from a previous mother board upgrade/replacement so I used it instead. I'm not sure of the quality of the thermal paste that comes with the cooler but I'd probably spend a couple extra bucks and buy you a high quality paste alongside your order of this cooler just to be safe.
I should note that previously I only had 2 case fans installed in my case. Both of which were exhaust fans. When I ordered this cooler I ordered a double pack of the fans found at this link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6S10KK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So this cooler isn't the sole upgrade I did and I have since ordered another single pack of the fan I linked and a molex adapter so I'll now go from just 2 exhaust fans to 3 intake and 2 exhast. My point is, your differences may not be as drastic as mine as I've made other cooling upgrades to aid this cooler, even then the cooler itself has proven to be putting in work. I wish I would've gotten one sooner.
5 star would recommend and would buy again if I ever did another build.

Customer Review: Tremendous Difference in temperatures
scottsteffen
It works well in a prebuilt PC built to burn itself down.
Installation took about 30 minutes. Had to pull original cooler, GPU, and loosen the motherboard to get about .040" more slack to slide the backing bracket in place. Rest took seconds. It's quiet and in direct comparison to the stock unit it replaced it dominates. CPU temps at idle before were around 160F CPU temps at idle now are around 130F. Under load it would run about 190F and now under load it runs about 150-155F. For the price...well worth it to me.That ASUS G10 is junk outta the box but with some tinkering you can get a pretty stout machine out of it.

Yo siempre he sido de Intel y por cuestiones económicas tuve que pasarme a AMD y siempre ha tenido el estigma de ser MUY CALIENTES y fue por eso que decidí comprar dicho producto, que me dejo muy contento con su desempeño; mantiene el procesador (que también me ha sorprendido por su temperatura que ya comentaré en su propia reseña) bastante fresco sin pasar a más de 50 grados y en estrés (por juegos o renders) igual no llega a más de 80 grados, lo cual se agradece mucho para tener una buena vida útil de nuestro equipo.
Si bien, puede asustar su tamaño que es bastante grande, pero lo compensa con un buen rendimiento, silencio total y temperatura para tu procesador.
La instalación puede ser algo engorrosa, pero haciéndolo con paciencia y cuidado queda todo sin problemas, cuenta con unos materiales durables, pero aun así que no te olvides de ir con alguien experto para evitarte situaciones.
