Just cause its popular doesn't mean its good. Its actually kinda bad but its decent for the money it costs.

Op if you want good air cooling you really have about the options. The phantek, the noctua nh-d14 and the thermalright silver arrow. They are the best air coolers and about ten degrees cooler then the 212+
