Aardwolf cpu cooler is it good?

[Googoo]

On Amazon their is a cpu cooler listed as AP-565-120 CPU Cooling Fan, CPU Air Cooler Intel LGA 1200, i7 10700K CPU Fan Cooler, 5 Direct Contact Heatpipes.

What i see from this is a great cpu cooler build, since it has 5 copper pipes with a soild flat copper plate on the cpu. It looks like a great and possibly a quality build. To see its specs, its on Amazon, at this link: https://www.amazon.com/Aardwolf-AP-565-120-Cooling-Contact-Heatpipes/dp/B098NS7KBS/ref=pd_di_sccai_cn_1_sccl_3/133-4270649-7950931?pd_rd_w=ZzMdk&pf_rd_p=1ed8df3a-0df8-4988-98b9-252e4c99c568&pf_rd_r=BQHH7HYKP46G2T12V77E&pd_rd_r=5594b8e2-dbd6-4fe8-8fb7-b7c0267bec84&pd_rd_wg=PF12w&pd_rd_i=B098NS7KBS&th=1

The AP-565-120 seems good for just $21, disregarded the fan, as i can easily buy a noctua 120mm fan for $20 to improve just for a total of $41. Is this not a great idea, for the price? Since the heat spreader it self looks good no great.

I think the simplest answer I can give to this is -

Buy it nice, or buy it twice.

Like I said in our PM conversation, I don't think this cooler is adequate for a 10700k. It's also weird that they seem to have the pictures for the different models all mixed together in the Amazon listing, some of the images for the "5 heat pipes" version clearly only have 3 heat pipes. 

 

I don't see the point of buying a super cheap cooler and then buying a nice fan that costs as much as the cooler itself when for about the same price as that combo you could simply... buy a decent cooler with decent fans (and which is also nicer looking IMO): https://www.amazon.com/ID-COOLING-SE-225-XT-Heatpipes-2x120mm-Push-Pull/dp/B08LPDDM4B/

 

And ~$10 more than that will buy you an Arctic Freezer 34 Duo, or even a Thermalright Peerless Assassin which is a fucking Godzilla of a cooler compared to the stuff you're looking at.
