  • ✓ Noise stays at or under 25.6 dB(A) under full PWM load
  • ✓ Offset fin stack clears tall RAM; supports LGA1851/1700/1200/115x and AM4/AM5

Cons

  • ✗ 154mm height blocks most compact and small-form-factor cases
  • ✗ 125mm depth with dual fans crowds the first PCIe slot in tight builds
  • ✗ S-FDB bearing rated 20,000 hours, shorter than magnetic-levitation rivals
  • ✗ Fans top out at 1500rpm, limiting headroom on high-wattage overclocked chips
