I might be wrong, but I don't even think that cooler will work with your motherboards socket type

Don't worry actually, Amazon's specs where wrong, it says diffrent on the noctua site, and yh that should be sufficient for now

It's fine for a CPU running at stock.

And if it woulnd't come with correct mounting kit, Noctua has support promise to provide it. Unless its for workstation motherboard.

Performance wise it's good, but fan likely protrudes into space of one memory slot.

Noctua made its successor NH-U12S much slimmer to guarantee clearence for memory slots.

(fin spacing become quite dense)

Though of course if you already have it in current PC, thne using it is good way to save some money.

The SE2 also comes with an additional fan.
