Review on Deepcool Redhat CPU cooler, white/red/black by Micha Kobiaka ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Did not find any pluses with the product, I don't recommend it.

Comparing with competitors' coolers, which are a bit more expensive (thermallight mostly), Redhat wins only in price. Absolutely ugly fastening of the cooler to the AM4 socket spoils the first impression. Is that how you treat your customers if you can't cut bushings to fix a dangling backplate? In general, there is trouble with the mount: poor downforce gives a weak cooling result. After a cunning modification of the mount (cut out the plastic bushings for the backplate, lowered the bracket), the cooler starts to cool more efficiently. BUT! The fan itself turns out to be a very noisy companion to such a tower. Competitors have similar models that run much quieter at maximum speed. ZY, I tested with 3900X and I must say that everything is bad. I will change to Thermalright Macho.

Pros
  • Impressive design
Cons
  • Ill-conceived fastening
