I have a hackintosh server with an i5-8600 and a prior el-cheapo thermal take cooler I was using didn't particularly have any issues other than being noisy.
I wanted something a little quieter so I grabbed this, pretty much the cheapest tower cooler that would fit in my case.
I didn't use the be quiet fan, although I know it's good (I have a couple others in the case), I used a noctua 92mm just because I had it laying around.
But the cooler's great, it keeps the i5 chilly and it's way more than enough. Never really see over 50C under load. Definitely better than the thermal take, the heat pipes and higher fin count mean I can keep the fan curve extremely low making it quieter and cooler than before.
Also for am4 I suspect the mounting is a bit of a bummer, relying on the lousy spring clip and can only mount it vertical. With LGA 1151 there's no issue, just pushed in the clips and it's mounted. For AMD you may want to seek other inexpensive coolers with better mounting.
