This CPU cooler I have been recommended by people on this site but before making that decision can I quickly get a quick analysis of this cooler. Why you think it's good/bad? Is this one of the best coolers to go for

It is among the best air coolers you can buy. You won't really get better cooling performance unless you want to get into really high end closed loop water cooling or custom loop water cooling. The big drawbacks to it are related to its size, you need a pretty wide case to deal with the height, and it does overhang RAM slots, so you need to keep those RAM slots empty or use low profile RAM sticks with it. It's also quite heavy, so it might not be the best choice if you are moving your computer around, as it can place a lot of stress on your motherboard if you're moving your computer around a lot.

Noctua NH-D15S is basicly the same cooler but with asymmetrical design and has better compatibility, but it only comes with one fan so if you want to run dual fan setup you need to buy the other fan (performance is exactly same as the base NH-D15 if used with same fan setup). And like said above you want to stick with low profile memory (Corsair LPX series for example) with this cooler. Otherwise it's about the best air cooler you can get and is on par with many of the AIO water coolers.
