Review on Deepcool GAMMAXX 300 CPU cooler, silver/black/blue by Adam Koakowski ᠌

Yesterday I installed Q6600 on my old man. The boxed cooler with a copper core is terribly noisy, we couldn't achieve low temperatures with it even without overclocking. The thermal package is 105 watts near the stone, so I thought at first to take the Deepcool Gammax 200, but I decided that it was better to take the 300th model with a margin and did not lose. He climbed into my mATX and there was still room left until the cover of the lateral centimeter 4. On the box in idle time, the temperature was 45-48 degrees with different thermal interfaces, in the load it went over 65, while the lid is critical for a stone of 62.2 degrees. But there was no throttling. With this cooler, idle time became 33-35 degrees, in a load above 49 I could not melt, despite the fact that the revolutions are somewhere around 1200-1300, that is, there is still a fan margin of 20-30%. And this is with the paste that was smeared from the factory on the base. I think MX2 or MX4 will bring down a couple of three degrees more. I set it for about half an hour, given that I did everything carefully as if for myself. If you do it quickly, then in 15 minutes you can manage, nothing complicated. The main thing is to check the fasteners themselves well so that they sit tightly and the cooler does not sway. Today I'll try to overclock the stone to 2.8-3.0 GHz, I think the cooler can handle the stock.
