Review on CPU cooler ID-COOLING IS-40X, black/white by Janis Cerins ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The item is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

I'll start with the good: small size, quiet, quite efficient. In a mini-ITX case with an i3 processor, it is practically inaudible, the temperature at maximum load did not exceed 55 degrees. Now the bad news: the mounting on the 1155 socket is extremely unfortunate, the threaded bushings are 1 mm longer, the cooler base simply does not reach the processor cover! I had to grind. The sole is specifically curved, in the center there is a deflection of 0.5 mm! I had to grind on a piece of glass to get a plane. All in all, it's a fairly efficient cooler, but there are a bit too many gestures to achieve this efficiency.

Pros
  • Compact
Cons
  • Curved sole, fastening
