I am a little disappointed. It is not as silent as I expected, even with Ultra low noise adapter. I had Schythe Samurai ZZ before this Noctua and it was MORE silent with my Athlon II x4 605e. So, it looks like Noctua is not a perfect solution for a low power CPU when you don't really need high airflow. Build quality however is exceptional. Assembly procedure is pleasant and straightforward. It MAST come with PWM controlled fan! It's a shame not to have a real-time fan control. I don't understand why they keep selling 3-pins fans only these days. Conclusion: Cooler is overpriced.

Lätt att montera, tyst på min Asus M4A88T moderkort när Q-fan är på (när Q-fan är av, låter mycket). Kör ungefär 900 RPM med Athlon II x4 605E.

Good value for money. Noticeably quieter than native AMD cooler, however not quite enough for those who are building a silent PC. Installation is simple but made me worry about motherboard since you need to apply much pressure to put the cooler in place.
