Review on ARCTIC Freezer 7 X - Compact CPU Cooler with 100mm PWM 🌬️ Fan, Intel & AMD Socket Compatibility, 300-2000 RPM (PWM Controlled), Pre-Applied MX-2 Thermal Paste by Charles Palma

I bought this heatsink to replace the stock Intel i7-4790 fan. I'll list my pros and cons: Pros: I bought this small heatsink because it fits perfectly in my case and is very compatible with my MOBO (LGA1150). Other than that, I use this computer to stream on Twitch and edit videos to upload to YouTube. With the standard fan, my computer went from 30 to 65 degrees, and now it runs from 24 to 48 degrees. I also used Artic Paste for this setup. CONS: This heatsink required some tweaking and some Macgyver work to install. Actually the bracket is perfect, but keeping the bracket on the motherboard is GARBAGE. It's not even a screw, but plastic things that fit into another plastic bag to hold the mount. Here's my problem, my MOBO is a bit thick so the plastic doesn't hold the mount in place and when I tried to apply force to it the dam broke. I've installed many radiators in my life, but this is the biggest crap I've ever seen. So if you are looking for a quick installation, be aware that a "plastic screw" will not work for you on a motherboard that is too thick. SOLUTION: There are 4 tiny screws from my heatsink holding the fan to the heatsink. which I took apart and used to attach the bracket to the motherboard through the metal bracket that holds the processor in place. In other words, in this format the thing will NEVER move even if I drop it on the floor. After all, this is a great heatsink with a lot of potential for keeping your CPU cool, but get ready for some MACGYVER work. I would advise the manufacturer to provide metal screws to make installing this heatsink easier as plastic is cheap and puts off potential customers.
