ID-COOLING SE-214-XT ARGB White CPU Cooler 4 Heatpipes CPU Air Cooler ARGB Light Sync with Motherboard(5V 3-PIN Connector) CPU Fan for Intel/AMD, LGA 1700 Compatible for Desktop

I like the quality on the cooler and the fan. The parts were all there and installed fine. The RGB looks nice and charming, not cheap. I'm happy with its performance on the 5600x but I think I'd be better with a double tower design with my environments ambient temperature.The fit and finish of the plastic parts, and the overall design is more than enough for this price point. ID Cooling did a good job with this one.

this product was very nice and good quality it is the best of its range it is an ececellet budget cooler or just cooler overall it is low noise it is easy to mount the size fits almost every case it is a great add on for a pc accessories and the matt black color is great

My son got this for his FIRST gaming computer, and my first computer build in over a decade. He loves the ARGB, and I love the performance and value.PRO: Quiet and "cool":++ VERY quiet -- way more quiet than the stock AMD cooler (per reviewers). Not silent, but even at full speed it's more quiet than I expected. Just above a whisper with the case open. Wow!++ Seems to cool well (On a mid-powered AMD Ryzen 7600X, 65W to 105W).++ Heatpipe shape "setback" leaves ample room for any size RAM sticks (On an ASRock B650M Pro RS WiFi mATX motherboard).++ Impressive machined copper CPU contact points.++ Long fan wires, versatile mounting hardware options and included thermal paste made it easy to install.++ ARGB colors may be a bit cliché, but damn, it's fun and cool! (and can easily be turned off or unplugged.)++ Arrived in perfect condition (no bent fins from the manufacture or shipping)**.CON: Bulky and fragile:-- This cooler's height is 150mm, and I found out the hard way that it does NOT fit into a old-school mid-tower mATX case that is 175mm wide externally. Now that it's installed, I can measure the case's mobo stand-offs (~12mm), plus the AMD AM5 CPU and motherboard (10mm thick), plus this 150mm cooler... all add up to about 172mm, which is about 3mm to 5mm too much for the internal space, and the case's side-panel won't completely close. So, I have to leave the panel slightly ajar with a 5mm gap on one edge (better ventilation?). :-) This is my own fault for taking a gamble with my old narrow-ish case. I tried to find a good 145mm cooler, but didn't find many options. I wish this one shaved 5mm off it's height. So close! I'll make it work.-- This cooler fan's center sticker is slightly off-center, so it LOOKS like the fan is out-of-balance (wobble), but the fan is actually in balance, so it's just a minor visual annoyance. I'm tempted to remove the sticker.-- **Even when we were being extremely careful, we bent a few fins during install and PSU wire routing (minor, cosmetic).Wishlist:o Given the ample space between the CPU and the these bottom fins (and ample RAM clearance), I would like to see a re-design that is 5mm smaller, so it's 145mm tall.o Some sort of plastic frame around the edges of the cooling fins, so we're less likely to bend them? (I know this would increase cost and possibly lessen the cooling capability, but hey, I can dream, can't I?).

Pros: For the price this is hard to beat.Works really well and is silent after some months of heavy use.Temperatures are good.RGB in it is alright, not dim but not the brightest either.Easy to install.Cons: I could not install the fan near the ram. My ram is corsair vengeance low profile so I thought it'd be compatible but the very last slot was interfering with the fan. Easily installed it on the other side and temps are fine, so whatever. Might also be a motherboard thing but I doubt it

I did a lot of research looking for a budget ARGB cpu fan and this ID-COOLING SE-214-XT keep coming up. Since I am building 2 computers and this is first time building one, I didn't want to spend too much money (incase I screw up or something), decided to buy these one in white and one in black. Surprised the price is very budget friendly especially it is an ARGB fan and comes with a small pack of thermal paste (which after more reviews, says its does a good job cooling lower end cpu). It comes with Intel bracket and AMD 4/AMD 5 bracket. The cooling fins are well made and not cheap material. What more can you ask for in a budget fan?
