Nice price, good quality.

Intel Core i5-2500. In idle - 30-35 degrees. Medium loads - it heats up to 50-62 (quite logical, because the declared heat pack of the processor is not low - 95W).

It copes with its task quite well due to the powerful air flow. But the lack of speed control and the inability to change the fan are very unpleasant factors.

In general, the miracle did not happen. It's just a piece of aluminium, after all. Suitable for budget assemblies, where it is necessary to cool the power circuits on the motherboard, as well as a plug. For a normal comfortable assembly, I would advise you to pay extra and take any tower with copper pipes and a 4pin fan.

Pros

- Price. - Does its job well. - The cooler is relatively quiet at its constant 1600 rpm. - Conveniently placed on the board from Intel. - Blows the motherboard.

Cons

- Absence of copper pipes. - Lack of 4pin (speed is not regulated, it always rotates to the maximum). - The fan cannot be replaced or serviced. - The base is small and does not cover the entire CPU cover. - Missing thermal paste. - Plastic mounts for intel wear out pretty quickly.
