Pros & Cons
Pros
Idle is 35-40 with pbo, and 75 max with prime and pbo. For motherboard at 33c. Overall 51c. Temperature is stable at a consistent 65 degree celsius on load.
The cooler looks sublime in my minimalistic case setup. The install is painless. My only real complaint is the base machining.
Highlights
Quality
Cools very well and quiet very happy with the purchase
Build quality is amazing easy to install came really well packed with everything included and more

Same noctua quality without the brown and beige

The price difference for being black though yikes
Packaging/appearance

It is the best quality product and even packaging ive seen
I strongly suggest to go on the noctua website for specs

Le plus bruyant cest la fan de mon power supply miantenant

The sandwiched fan fits well but keep in mind that the fan on the outside can prevent you from closing your case because of the ram sticks pertruding and preventing the fans from being installed lower
