Review on DEEPCOOL Gamma Archer CPU Air Cooler with 120mm Fan for Intel and AMD Processors - High Airflow Design by Ada Nowak ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall it's not bad, but I expected more.

I bought it as a replacement for the standard cooling system (aluminum radiator + 80mm fan at 3300 rpm). Under load (LinX), the processor cores (Core2Duo E7500) added 7 degrees, and the temperature of the processor "lid" increased by 4 degrees. Replacing the standard thermal paste with "Xilence X5" wins back almost 1 degree. Although DeepCool loses in performance to the previous system, it is recommended to buy in . (where the thread, in return .) due to low (or rather less) noise, that is, CO has no special advantages except for a 1600 rpm fan.

Pros
  • 1. Price 200. sort of like a radiator with a 120th. 2. Fastening is convenient (for 2 min. on 775 socket, the spring easily clings with a screwdriver). 3. Fan at 1600 rpm. (but 3-pin) 4. The base is even, the processing of the entire product is normal (you won’t be able to cut yourself).
Cons
  • 1. There is no way to replace the fan without a "" (the native one at the outlet has an average of only 96mm in diameter, and not 120mm.). 2. The small area of ​​contact with the processor (average 34mm in diameter) did not close the cover of the Core 2 Duo. 3. Almost hit the chipset heatsink (but this is a special case)
