this is so ridiculously easy to install and at 50% less than a Noctua NH-U14S (which i also own), too. may even beat the Noctua, too. there were only 2 or 3 better air coolers than it out of 80+ at the time of review on TweakTown. (to see my install of it on AM4, google "ninja 4 install am4" since i can't upload MKV to Amazon)
HOWEVER, make sure it'll fit around your RAM (modules without tall, annoying heatsinks). it cleared just fine with RAM in my 4th slot (G.Skill DDR4-2400 without heatsinks, only a sticker). when i installed a second stick in slot 2 for dual channel, it cleared by less than 5mm.
took a Ryzen 2400G ($5 free ship AM4 adapter required) that runs at 100% CPU *and* GPU 24/7 for distributed computing that crept up to about 83C over the last 6 months on the stock cooler down to 54C just on medium Scythe fan speed on a dumpy old case with just an 80mm fan in the back.
