Review on ⚡️ Cooler Master GeminII M5 LED - High-Performance 2U Low Profile CPU Cooler with Direct Contact Heatpipes & XtraFlo 120 Slim Fire Red LED Fan for Intel AMD RR-T520-16PK (GeminII M5) by Christopher Bates

I think the fan mount was much better and the fasteners

There weren't any reviews for it when I bought this. First, here are my previous impressions of the cooler. This is a good choice for a low profile CPU cooler. It runs about a degree or two hotter than a large Shiruken Rev B braid. However, I believe the fan mount was much better and the mounting hardware, while not much better than other coolers, wasn't too bad, making installation easier. Now I will say that the fan that comes with the kit is not that good. It's quiet, but I find it lacks cooling potential. I bought this already on the assumption that I have had other Cooler Master coolers in the past. I replaced the 120mm fan with a 140mm fan with 120mm mounting holes. It literally lowered the temperature by almost 10 degrees. It's a good cooler and I like the reliability of the fan mount. If, like me, you hate using zip ties on your cooling fins and are looking for a cooler that does what it says on the tin, then this heatsink is for you.
