    Quite efficient and very quiet

    I use it on a Core Ultra 265K. It's true that you can't hear it, it idles very slowly. When I run compilations, the fan slowly increases in power but the air that comes out remains cold. I should even be able to slow down the fan during these occasional phases (unfortunately, the MSI Z890 motherboard doesn't give me access to the PWM settings).

    The only downside (hence the missing star) is that the metal spacers to be screwed onto the motherboard tracks, so I had to add cardboard washers to protect them. I don't know if it's the motherboard that doesn't respect the spec or the fan mounting, but be careful before you screw! What's more, the assembly instructions are rudimentary and approximate, to say the least, so when you see this you have your doubts.

    Ah, surprise, there's a long Phillips screwdriver under the foam at the bottom of the box, which you discover once you've assembled everything and are about to take the remains to the bin :-)

    Great equipment

    I've always used Noctua and this time for my new Intel Core Ultra 7 PC, I decided on Be Quiet after seeing several videos, result: Excellent, very easy assembly, no problem with my Gskill strips, no problem with the MVME SSD cooler next to it (Asus Rog Strix Z890 E Gaming Wifi motherboard in a Be Quiet Pure Base 501 DX case.
    In operation: no noise from the ventirad or the case despite 4 fans inside. I haven't tried overclocking yet.
    The ventirad is perfectly packaged, over-wrapped by LDLC, no problem with Chronopost delivery, deadline met.

    Fine

    A very good fan that cools my processor properly.
    I rarely exceed 50° in silence with my R7 7700, with a TDP of 65W in real life and 95W in game.
    In terms of silence, it's decent. The case fans make more noise.

    Impec

    Installed for a Ryzen 7 9700X in a NZXT H5 Flow RGB case. It's big but very easy to install. Efficient and silent operation once properly adjusted.
