THE GOOD:
This little guy cools very effectively. It's small, compact, light weight, and very affordable. It mounts very securely to the motherbaord...once you get it on.THE BAD:
This heatsink is almost impossible to get on and off with any ease. It is held on by all four corners with spring-steel clips that come off of the base and they are very difficult to wrestle with, especially when in close quarters with your CPU and motherboard.
It only holds a 90mm fan so it can be loud at times. SUMMARY:
Other than the possible noise from a 90mm fan with the absence of a fan controller, and the poor retention design, this heatsink does actually cool your CPU quite well.
I had my 3500+ Venice down to 19c a few years ago during the winter with a Vantec Tornado. |
