Super cooler! IT IS really very BIG!!! super for overclocking
I overclocked from 3.4ghz to 4.5ghz and just 42degrees!!!
If you have enough space, I can only recommend it.

Very Good

Inexpensive, but extremely good cooler. Practically unbeatable in this price range. My i7-4790K overclocked to 4.4 GHz barely gets above 65-70°C at full load, which is impressive for an air cooler, and the included fan remains almost inaudible (in a Fractal Define R5).
However, one should be careful as the heat sink is really big. Memory with high heatspreaders should be avoided, and installation in a "normal" LGA 2011-v3 system is probably almost impossible.

The cooler has been around for a while, but if you don't want any blink-blink fuss, this is an excellent choice - I highly recommend it. Cools the overclocked Ryzen 7 2700X very well.
There are many tests on the internet in which the Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev.B always performs excellently, even compared to much newer CPU coolers.

works perfectly so far (up to now CPU temperature up to max 29°C).
Perhaps a few hints:
- Thermal compound is included (so you don't need to buy it).
- Before you install the motherboard, you should attach the fastener to the back (a description of how to do this is included and is easy to understand). Otherwise you have to remove it again ;-) ...
- A Phillips screwdriver is also included.
