Tower: storm Tooper.
Ryzen 9 5900x / live :
?? MSI 240 watercooling: 3.7Ghz at 90 degrees.
?? Be quiet Ventirad: 4.8Ghz at 69 degrees.
Very happy to have the power of my Ryzen 9 back.
Be quiet doesn't mess around, pure quality and efficiency.
Thank you Be quiet !!!
The ventilation bulldozer, as I'm a bit reluctant to install a watercooling system (an imaginary fear of leaks).
I stuck it on an i7-14700K, and it does its job.
I bought this top-of-the-range ventirad, shall we say, to replace my current be-quiet ventirad (also) (2011 model) which had lost none of its qualities but which didn't fit on a new lga1700 card: the mounting brackets on this new card were slightly out of line with my old lga1151 card. a shame! a bit of a wince to reinvest in this component, but well. but what a pleasure to reinstall this new model and how easy it is, especially with the height adjustment of the external fan so that you can easily insert the memory sticks if they get in the way. what a great idea! still just as quiet as my old model but with the LED chaser, which makes my HAF932 boiter a little more attractive.
really a product to recommend without reservation if your finances allow you. currently I do not exceed 30 ° for i5-14600kf. cool!

A very imposing beast! Definitely prefer low-profile ram, don't invest in RGB ram, you'll hardly see them and with the raised fan, you need a 170+ wide tower.
Very quiet, even under full load, quite reasonable noise, my ryzen 7 9800x3d never goes over 60° in games and I do quite a bit of flight simulator 2024, it consumes power believe me... on some benchmarks I've had peaks at 70°. In idle under win 11, and office use, it's not watercooling, I'm between 40 and 45°. But by adjusting the tower and proc fans you can improve all that still further.
A very good buy!
After my pure rock 2 on my i5-8600k, used to and convinced by be quiet products, I'm not disappointed.
Easy installation, although I was apprehensive (thanks to the official supplier's YouTube video for reassurance and guidance).
The screwdriver in the package is really appreciated.
In terms of performance, I was told in the shop that my i5 14600K was running at 85 degrees because "these processors heat up".
Verdict: it doesn't exceed 55 degrees even after 3 hours of intensive gaming on the latest games. Space Marine 2, which is CPU-hungry, and God Of War Ragnarok. And I'm playing at 3440x1440.
As far as noise is concerned, I can't even hear it. I tested it at full speed, and it's still quiet, given the speed and the pair of fans. You wouldn't expect anything less from be quiet.
I'd also like to point out that I have a large tower case, which must help with ventilation.
So, really top notch, I'd recommend it without hesitation.
PS: I would warn you that in my high-end case, it reaches the limit in width (near the glass) and opt for low-profile ram strips without LEDs, it will go over the top. On this subject, the fact that you can raise the fan to go over the ram during assembly or if they're too big is really great.
