What cpu are you cooling? Is there any reason you want to go with this cooler other than looks?

Most new Cooler Master coolers are terrible, no matter how good the spec sheet looks.

Interesting. It looks to be a bit larger than a Cryorig C7, so potentially more surface area. It might do well and it might not. Likely better than a Stock Intel Cooler. If it doesn't cost much, then it's a viable choice. I don't know how it will perform, though.

 

What CPU do you have?

It's a cheapo Chinese flower cooler with a fancy fan and an absolutely stupid-as-f*ck price tag. Cooler Master, imo, doesn't have a single air cooler out there worth buying right now. Even the 212 EVO is a bad value compared to something like the Gammaxx 400.

 

Look at the Cryorig C7 or Rosewill RCX-Z300. I've had good results on non-OC'ed systems with both.

 

Or just buy an $8 Zalman flower cooler, because that's pretty much all the CM cooler is.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.
