Great cooler but 54.99 USD is bit too much for 120mm tower. I would expect ~40 USD for such cooler. If case space is not the problem, for that price, I would choose big 140mm tower or dual tower such as Scythe Fuma 2

this is a somewhat premium brand - better performance and cheaper than Noctua (I own the old version of this cooler)

Cheaper, yes but not better performance. I tested pretty much all Scythe and Noctua coolers in the last years.

Hey Scythe, can someone in your PR dept edit the original press release to add that line in a few moar times, just to be sure everyone understands why this overpriced cooler is supposedly better than all the other 6,712.54 similar devices already out there, ya know, the ones that are like $40 or so :)

And for $55, I would fully expect a socket 1700 adapter to be included in the box too... shame on you Scythe !!!!
