  Well, it works perfectly but it needed a mod for two reasons. Let me explain: The package includes 1X120 fan and it also fits AM3/AM3+ like my AMD FX-8150 (confirmed with BeQuiet support and the store). Before BeQuiet, I had a 14-year-old stock Watercooler from AMD!!! Due to airflow requirements and the hot 125TDP chip, it had 2X120 in a push/pull arrangement. So, I decided in advance to get an extra one to meet the airflow demand. It may be unnecessary with a newer processor. Additionally, and equally important, without the second fan, it wouldn't fit in the old case because the radiator is not 120X120 but 120X155, and it was located in the rear slot for cards. So, the extra fan acted as a spacer, but it also does the extra job. Furthermore, the cooler is refillable, which is a premium feature found in more expensive open-loop liquid coolers. The power connectors could have had slightly better quality, but we can't have it all. Also, in the old AMD cooler, the pump had interaction with the motherboard, while now it doesn't (I personally think it's better this way), and BeQuiet connects the pump's power supply to an available SATA port. However, the power supply must not be interrupted. The light is a bit intense, but it doesn't bother me... on the contrary, it provides a dim light and I don't need to turn on any other lights at night. Satisfying purchase, quiet fans, good quality. If you have a large new case, prefer the 2X in series or the 3X, if not, it's a very good investment and it gave my old hardware 2-3 years of life... I recommend it!
