That is the second one I buy, ...first for my computer and the second for my wife's computer. My Pc is built on an Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 with an AMD FX-9590, and 16Gb DDR3 1866MHz memory. The PC case is the big tower Cooler Master HAF X with 4 case fans providing good air flow. The Sabertooth BIOS (v2901) is configured with all "Auto - Defaults values" no tweaking no overclocking. The "Turbo core option" is turned on "Auto" RESULT: Super powerfull machine remaining cool with no overheating: Idle temp maintained to about 30°C to 33°C. At about 80% CPU load, CPU temp never exceed 50°C ! My wife's PC built with exactly same hardware, configured in same way, but in a CM HAF 912 with 3 case fans... provides about same result. I recommend the CM MasterAir Maker 8 with no hesitation... even with the AMD FX-9590 !

Great for performance and visuals, overall I... used this product on a Intel Core i7-8700K 6 Core and temps were 28C at idle. it did not go higher then 53C in ultra settings. make sure your case can move air freely as it will impact your temperatures. a good rule is to have your intake and exhaust fans properly aligned to each other so maximum air flow can happen. (not shown in picture upload) For example if your front intake fan is on the bottom of the case and your exhaust fan is on the top rear end of the case, air will struggle slightly it just all depends on your case design. NOTE: this heatsink is massive make sure your case has enough space.

Drop cpu temp from 185 to 113 F. And fit in my current case (with ...bump-out in side door). Very glad I bought it.
