At the time of writing I purchased this cooler for around $50. In my usage the highest I saw was 63C on my 5600x. And that鈥檚 in my Qube 500 which isn鈥檛 known for good airflow.
So definitely exceeds its performance to dollar compared to a Noctua. I鈥檇 also say it鈥檚 not noticeably louder than one either but I have no way to confirm. It is however far more aesthetically pleasing and the finishing is nice in the visual areas. Admittedly that can鈥檛 be said for towards the end of the heat pipes where it gets a lil rough as the pipes meets the cold plate. But that doesn鈥檛 affect performance and is not visible in situ.
Again to reiterate, I would highly recommend if you want something that looks fairly nice and the performs exceptionally well for the price.
