lovely look
quite noisy at higher speeds, even in silent mode
after about half a year it started to resonate, it's going to go on claim

Before buying, I recommend comparing the specs with the Case to make sure the cooler will fit and remember that the RAM, if it is taller, the fan can be a little higher still, the cooler is really huge.
I cool i5-14600K, 60-65 degrees in games
RGB
Beautiful, huge, stands out in the case
CPU is at 26-30 degrees when switched on
Installation is simple
Under maximum load it fails to cool down after plug n play (throttles), you have to subvolt the processor, then it's fine and keeps at Cinebench 5.3GHz
If you are planning some heavier CPU-intensive tasks, I recommend water cooling
I used the same paste I bought, Grizzly Duronaut.

Above the Ryzen 9800X3D this cooler is so so. Yes, I prioritized aesthetics over performance because I just don't like the NH-D15, but it's also too big and known for clashing with graphics cards. I replaced the original paste with NT-H2 and that helped a lot, now I'm in a fairly sealed soundproof Define S2 case under 86°C. Input 3x600rpm NF-A14 G2 LS, output 1x1100rpm NF-A14 G2. While playing it's completely silent around 75°C, but in full load I have to drop the front to 900 and the rear to 1500rpm.
Quiet
Very good cooling
Very easy installation
Telling aesthetics
Fans are weaker than Noctua NH-D15
The included thermal conductive paste is worse than NT-H2

Maybe I would recommend to detach the plastic cap that is glued underneath the radiator during assembly: DD
Quiet
Mode quiet a performace
It's barely audible.

Cooler certain I can recommend, super price performance ratio. According to tests, probably the quietest air cooling ever (except for the passive), performance also among the best. After succumbing to the AIO cooling fad, I am finally happy again after a few years. The 13900KS does not cool at 100% load (no undervolting so far), but in normal use, including benchmarks, gaming, etc., you just don't know about the cooler and the CPU has lower temperatures than what I had on the 7800X3D (cooled by DeepCool AK620). Those who are more sensitive to noise need look no further.
silence
power
price (compared to competitors)
design (compared to Noctua coolers, it probably fits more people)
shorter warranty
some people may not be able to fit the RAM - but the fan can be moved
