I wish they compared it to more coolers (such as the Noctua NH-D15S [$80] or the NH-U14S [$65] ). While they did use one Noctua cooler in the roundup, it was the NH-U12A which uses two of Noctua's most expensive fans on a smaller tower. The problem with this cooler is there is little performance gain over using a single fan (like on the NH-U12S [$65] ), and in turn the price for it is very high ($99.99).

Outside of that, this does look like a good cooler, albeit one of the pricier air towers out there at $89.99.

I found more reviews when looking (it appears Tom's was one of the last to test it):

Thankfully, these sites compared it to a wider range of coolers. TechPowerUp in particular shows the performance of this cooler is very good, it's just the pricing compared to other options that hold it back a bit:

No placement for displacement, i will still be ordering a black version of the NH-D15 . Especially if i go 3900x/4900x. That one in the Op looks ok but yeah like i said earlier.

The problem with this product is simple, there is cheaper option with same performance, expecially from the likes of be quiet! and noctua.
I still use DeepCool's non-premium cooler (GamerStorm is their premium brand), the Gammaxx 400. While the tower cools just fine, I have teething problem with their mounting system and its fan. They feel filmsy and quite bling-y with blue LED light. That's why I swap it with Noctua fan so I don't have glaring blue light inside my bedroom.
