*Packaging*
Noctua gets an A+ for their packaging of this cooler. Everything is extremely organized, labeled, and they include plenty of styrofoam padding (cut perfectly to fit whatever they are cushioning) to keep things secure.
*Quality*
The product screams quality. The heatsink itself is massive, heavy, and durable. The included fans are beautifully designed and heavy duty, yet extremely quiet. The fan cables have thick covers on them to prevent any damage, and Noctua even includes a fan splitter cable and extensions to help the fans reach your motherboard header!
*Installation*
Installation was easy, but you have to make a choice on which direction you want to mount the unit. I have mine mounted horizontally (parallel to my graphics card), with the fans blowing toward the top of my case. I recommend this direction strongly, as it not only helps with any potential ram issues, BUT it gives you a huge advantage in cooling because you can then mount other intake case fans which then blast the heatsink and fins from the front of the case. In other words, I've got the Noctua fans driving air through the bottom of the unit toward top of case. I've got intake fans blasting the cooler from the right-hand side. I've got an exhaust fan pulling air toward back of case, and I've got two top exhaust fans also pulling air toward top of case. I'm hitting the Noctua with air in two directs (bottom and from the right), whereas the other two directions are pulling air out (left and top of case).
*Noise levels*
What noise? Seriously - I cannot hear the fans even at full speed. The loudest things in my case are my old HDD and my graphics card fan when it gets on full blast (1070ti). But this CPU cooler is silent.
*Warranty*
Noctua includes, IIRC, a 6-year warranty on their product. This is unparalleled in the CPU cooling world, but it is because they make the highest quality products and stand behind them.
*Performance*
Are you ready for the numbers? I have run gobs of stress tests and the results are stunning. I use HWInfo (tdie) temps or HWmon which report the same numbers.
Test - Max Temperature
Aida64 for 10 minutes - 50c
Cinebench - 58c
Prime95 (small FFTs for maximum heat) for 20 minutes - 69c
Idle temps are around 29c. Day-to-day use keeps me in the 35c-45c range (chrome with lots of tabs, excel open, etc.) If I am gaming (playing Overwatch on epic settings), I can hover around 39c! 39c while gaming and listening to music in the background is pretty stellar in my opinion. I am also particularly impressed with the Aida64 stress test - this was 100% cpu usage for 10 minutes and the max temp was 50c. It is far and away the most realistic stress test, as prime95 temps will never happen in the real-world.
*How to maximize performance / My setup*
I use a full ATX case. I have a total of 9 fans inside my case, which I will explain now:
4 fans push air from front of case to back of case (intake fans)
2 Noctua fans push air through heatsink fins from bottom to top of case
1 exhaust fan pulling air out back of case
2 exhaust fans pulling air out top of case
The important factor is to target all the air in one or two directions. Intake is very important - you want air rushing into your case, and you want more intake fans than exhaust. Bear in mind, despite 9 total fans my rig is virtually silent. You can tell it is on, but just barely. If gaming / listening to music or wearing headphones, you hear nothing.
The key is to maximize air intake and to target the Noctua device. Use just a dab of thermal paste (I used the included Noctua paste) in the center and then gently install the Noctua on top of your CPU. I no longer believe in anything other than the dab of paste in the center (no spread it around, no X pattern, etc.). People use way too much thermal paste, too. Just a little tiny dot, smaller than the size of a pea in my opinion, is good.

I'm running OCed at 3.7Ghz at 1.26875 volts. I'm using CPU-Z and Cinebench R15 for the stress tests.
Stock cooler with a reasonable fan curve (fast as it could go without hearing it, I think 50%), idle was around 40c, sometimes as low as 38c. I'm sure background tasks caused some variability. At 100% fan speed, running the CPU-Z stress test, it would hover around 65c. As a test, I took off the side panel and there was no improvement. I then pointed at the CPU two external 120MM AC Infinity USB fans that I normally use for my AV equipment. That only knocked off 2c. Running Cinebench R15 repeatedly, not giving the CPU a chance to cool down, I could push the temp to the low to mid 70s.
With this Noctua, with both CPU fans running at 40%, idle is around 32c. CPU-Z stress test hovers around 43c with both CPU fans running at 50%. Bumping up the fans to 100% only gets me another 2c, which isn't worth it. Seems I've hit an air flow/thermal limit of my current case configuration. But dropping from 65c to 43c is massive. Running Cinebench repeatedly the temp maxes out at 46c, so almost a 30c improvement.
I've seen other folks with varying degrees of improvement. Some of the improvements I didn't think were all that impressive, and I was hesitant to try this thing, but figured I could return it if things didn't work out as planned. Well, they worked out well for me.
I don't know if I could have gotten similar results with something like a much cheaper 212 EVO because I haven't tried any other coolers. It's possible this thing is overkill. It's definitely not cheap compared to many of the other, smaller, effective coolers. But I went all out on the rest of my rig, so why not on the cooler?
Anyhoo, this thing does work. The question really is can you get the same performance with a smaller, less expensive cooler, from Noctua or any other maker. You'll have to test them to find out.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, the fans that come with it are 1500 rpm fans. Running full speed these things are loud, much louder than the smaller stock cooler fan running at 2800 rpm. But you should never have to run these things that hard under normal usage, perhaps even under reasonable heavy usage.

I've attached some Ryzen Master tests I ran for temps, HWmonitor also presented the same information.
You can see that even clocked a little higher (3.8 ghz), the Noctua was still 10 degrees cooler than when I was using the Wraith Spire. Don't get me wrong, the Wraith Spire is a great cooler for being stock, but I was able to run cooler with a higher overclock with the Noctua - as one would expect in a stock vs aftermarket cooler comparison.
The only downside is the slight difficulty of install, I had some trouble lining up the heatsink with the brackets. You can see in my photos that this cooler is gigantic and I ended up putting the fans in the center and rear of the cooler while have it exhausting through the rear of my case. With the fan on the very front, it did hit my ram (Corsair LPX).
When I finally got it on, realized I'm dumb and that it would be near impossible to plug in my fan headers with the heatsink on. So I had to take it off, plug in the fan headers, and put it back on after resetting the TIM. So definitely keep that in mind when installing!
I will say it's far easier to install than the Hyper 212 I installed on an older rig.
Also a big plus, it comes with a generous supply of Noctua thermal paste. I ended up using it both on my cpu and replacing the original paste on my gpu. Now my graphics card runs a bit cooler.
