Highlights
Quality
I would really recommend it does provide good quality cooling for cpu for its price

With the stock fan it idled around 58c60c now im getting around 36c40c during idle and regular use
This thing is whisper quiet by comparison and now with the cpu overclocked x19 it has never hit over 64c under load
Competitiveness

Little pissed the amazon pic showed two fans for the 212 plus truth is it came with mounting brackets for one more fan but only one fan

Its a fan cooler not liquid so will have to clean the dust from time to time to keep it fully functional

I did not do this so i guess it did not keep my cpu cool enough because after about a year it stopped staying stable overclocked at 4ghz or even 3
