Looks nice and cools well.
Bought this for my B450/AC, and I'm very happy I did. This Cooler isn't the best of the best but, it looks real nice and does cut down on the heat. I've noticed my CPU runs a few degrees cooler when playing CoD Warzone. Honestly, it aesthetically looks nice. If you're looking for maximum cooling and you're looking at this fan I would say don't buy it and get a Liquid Cooler or get a Coolermaster(Ugly IMO) which will be more expensive, and worth your while especially if you're over-clocking your rig. I was able to download the App to change the RGB and control the lights, only thing is watch out for the reverse polarity when installing, it might not illuminate properly, so before you close up your pc make sure its plugged in correctly. Good luck and stay safe.

Lovin' it
When I upgraded to the Ryzen platform I went with the R5 1600, which comes with a non-LED Wraith Spire cooler. I soon decided to upgrade my case from my old Antec 300 to a case with a tempered glass side panel and then outfitted it with a full compliment of red LED ring fans. Thus began my hunt for an LED Wraith Spire cooler and I eventually found this one. I bought the cooler purely for the red LED ring on it so imagine my surprise when I realized that the LED ring was RGB! I still have it set as red to match my ring fans and now I have upgraded to some RGB RAM as well.The performance of this cooler is the same as the one that came with my 1600 so I am very pleased with it.

New from open box
Fans unused but like other reviews it was boxed with a cpu originally. Paste that was on the base was dirty but wasn’t going to use it anyways so no big deal.

Works as advertised
It was brand new. The fan is quiet and keeps my CPU cool. I bought this for the RGB and lit up AMD logo. My Ryzen 5 1600 came with the same fan but no RGB. So now I have a spare cooler.All the colors in the spectrum are great except for the White. It is light blue instead and very bright. That's ok though. I can customize the RGB colors easily using the MSI Gaming App for my motherboard (Tomahawk B350 Arctic).I unscrewed and rotated the fan to get the AMD logo straight up.

Really adds some extra bling.
I have a Pre Built Gaming PC. it came with an aftermarket cpu Cooler that was efficient, but ugly. I plugged this beauty in and it knew to light up in a beautiful red hue to match the Red theme of the case.In addition, it cools far better than expected. I have the Ryzen 5 1600 running at 3.6 Ghz at max. Under heavy load, the temp never hit 60 C.All Pros here: Looks great, works great, and is RGB!

Excellent stock CPU fan
I had bought this for my Ryzen 5 2600, to upgrade from the Wraith Stealth cooler. the AMD logo looked to be painted white, but can be fixed by using rubbing alcohol. But the fan keeps my CPU cooler from 23*c with the stealth to 20*c with this cooler. i had to wipe off the thermal paste that was on the cooler. 10/10 would buy again.

Worse than eBay.
This is NOT, I repeat NOT a retail CPU cooler new in box. As you can see in the pictures taken the cooler is from a Ryzen 7 1700 with the CPU removed and the thermal past arrived unprotected and actually looks used.Edit: I have now cleaned off the used paste a and there is a scratch on the surface of the copper, see added picture.

Cool replacement over stock Wraith Spire
Purchased to upgrade over stock Wraith Spire cooler that did not have LED lighting. This unit is RGB capable but if you don't have the extra connection the unit for me did power on with the ring red and the AMD logo white without the RGB cable for me. CPU temperatures are great, don't be afraid to use this cooler.
