Looking for opinions on this cpu cooler and/or if anyone has had experiences with it on a FX8350. I know Noctua has taken the lions share of awards in air cooling, but with the limited amount of fan headers on the Sabertooth 990fx mobo (or any 990fx board), just looking to maximize the space available (And yes, aware that splitters are available for dual fan setups). Appreciate and respect any knowledgeable answers and no comments from fan boys please, so kids...stay away from the keyboard.

I know closed loop or custom water would be ideal...but looking toward air right now....thanks.

1 x CPU Fan connector(s) (1 x 4 -pin)
1 x CPU OPT Fan connector(s) (1 x 4 -pin)
4 x Chassis Fan connector(s) (4 x 4 -pin)

Sabertooth has 6 total , that's better than most boards.

It's a decent cooler , and performs pretty decent under load.
