I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

Cools AMD Atlon X4 860K - 95 watts. Minimum temperatures - 28-30 degrees, rpm 928. The maximum in Aida is 47 degrees at a speed of 1214. I checked it with the fan turned off - the temperature rose to 81, with a frequency reset by the processor (at 80% load). As it was correctly written here - pulling the radiator up with a spring does not really hurt to remove part of the load from the board. I didn’t level the surface - more thermal paste and the problem is solved by itself. I applied it in addition to the factory one, for the sake of experiment - everything is fine

Pros

Suitable for all sockets (both AM 2-3+ and FM 1-2+), as three mounting options are included. Noiselessness. Four tubes covered with a protective layer - copper will not darken over time. Large effective plate area and 120mm fan. Thermal package - 130 watts.

Cons

The mount is really not as convenient as on other models for AMD. For less fiddling, place the main latch down and remove the graphics card when installing. Otherwise it's hard to get hooked. The minimum speed is high, at least 928 for me, I would like from 500 to 1500. I don’t like maintenance-free bearings, it should be possible to check for lubrication, as it is in some other Chinese models
