This cooler works very well with my EPYC 7443p, even at full load, I typically don't exceed 60°C. However, the only drawback to this fan is the custom fans. This would probably the best air cooler for a 4U case on the market if it used standard 120mm chassis fans. Currently, if a fan dies, you have NO options for replacing it other than hoping you can still buy a fan from the MFG. If they used standard chassis fans, then at least you could replace or upgrade the fans as needed.
There is literally 1mm to spare between the case lid, and the heat-pipes. That is the only "bad" thing about it. Though its listed as fitting in a 4U case, it barely does so, so compatibility could be a problem if your 4U case uses a mono tray that is higher than the usual standoffs that screw directly not the chassis.
Quiet + Server rarely go in the same sentence. And those that need a server to be quiet are few and far in-between. This CPU HSF manages to straddle that border nicely. The included dual 120mm fans spin up to 2000rpm, and are decently quiet, this is not a whisper quiet setup, but its definitely quiet enough.
I'm cooling a EPYC 7443p in a Norco 4224 chassis. Even at full load, my CPU temps stay plenty cool and never exceeds 60°C.
My Norco has the 3x120 fan wall, and of the fans are Noctua IPPC NF-F12 3000rpm PWM fans, the rear fans are Noctua NF-A8 80mm fans. The CPU HSF uses its included 120mm dual fans.
Even with all fans at max speed, the loudest being the Noctua fans, my server hovers in the 50db region. But usually is around 44db and is quieter than my ceiling fans.
