Review on Enhanced Thermal Solution for Intel Corp BXTS13A by James Lesley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect Fast & Cheap Reliable Heatsink Replacement

This thing will save your computer I have a pretty good setup and like many of you I went with water cooling unfortunately it didn't work well since Radiator water cooler need a lot of maintenance or sometimes just doesn't work, my water cooler helped me for a while but recetley died on me. To protect my computer from 95 degree heat on my CPU, this thing works wonders, it's cheap and a great replacement, although I think it's the best replacement for the cooler. This thing actually produces cooler temperatures than my water cooler when I was younger, which makes me think maybe I should have always used a heatsink tailored to my particular build. Average 40 maybe 38 or 35 depending on thermal paste or fan setting when gaming, highest I've seen is 55, rarely does it actually go to 60, never did when I used it, it's easy to install, If you have a regular 4-pin square CPU case, just unscrew one and replace it with another. It has this little blue light, which actually works well with my build since I don't have RGB, but there's a lot of blue, red, and white that comes with the MSI and blue LED strip, so keep that in mind, most of You will use this as a quick backup that will eventually need to be replaced, but I can hardly say that this little thing could very well carry your gear for a long time, this is a soldier.

Pros
