Brown is an odd choice to go with for the fans as it matches very little of most other components in the CPU market. This is not an easy cooler to match into the color scheme of a build and will stand out making a bit of an eyesore.
The height of the fans from the motherboard allows for clearance of most tall of RAM heatsinks, if cleared the RAM is still accessible even when the cooler is installed.
This is a large cooler that may block access to some items depending on the size of their case and positioning. Some RAM cards for gaming can often be tall, which this cooler may not clear. While the fans on the cooler can be mounted in other positions such as the front and back instead of the sides, this may cause the CPU case to not close.
This is a large step above a stock cooler packaged with an Intel or AMD chip, allowing the user for better cooling and even some headroom for overclocking. All of this is offered for under $40, which is really cheap when compared to water cooling or even some of the more expensive air coolers.
Depending on the size of ones case and the layout of their motherboard this cooler may get in the way of accessing things such as RAM. Luckily there are multiple orientations for the fans and the device itself making for an easy way to install without getting in the way of anything.
It's a bit of a pain in the neck to install this cooler since you need to put a lot of pressure on the screw springs to keep it in place. It's normally a 2-man job if you do it.
If wanting to install in an already built system, access to the back of the motherboard is required. While most cases allow for this, there are some that do not meaning the whole system will need to be disassembled in order to install this cooler, which can be a pain as well as time consuming.

Installing this fan does not cause issue with most tall RAM heatsinks. While always a good idea to measure, few have run into issue using this fan with a combination of MOBO and RAM setups.
