This processor cools a FX 9590 as well, if not better than, liquid cooling.... I think that says enough. This CPU cooler is huge but that was not a problem as I have a big case.

Caught a cheap one on CL, love it, painted the fans black, sits at 28 degrees idle. Not bad :D

Maybe the best air cooling solution nothing else to add.

Had a spare D14 lying around stuck it right in ... very quiet ... efficient ... and Austrian :D

This HSF is HUGE. I had a few problems installing it alongside tall memory banks, but it makes up for it's bulk with great cooling and whisper quiet fans.

Too large for my liking now, and fans are ugly so I had to replace them, overall very good cooler though and I got it for a nice price

Big heatsink and easy mounting, customized with 140mm Alpenföhn Wing Boost 2 1200rpm fans for the extra silence.

Ginormous radiator with two Noctua fans, what can go wrong? This beast of a cooler manages the massive overclocks of the 4690k extremely well. Extremely low temps even under that massive overclock. Can't be more happier.

Great cooler, but this thing is a mammoth. Seriously gigantic. Otherwise, fine and super quiet, great performance. Nothing bad to say about it other than it would have been nicer if the included fans were 4-pin PWM instead of 3-pin, but that's not really to be expected.

Absolutely ginormous and cools just as good as a liquid cooler!
