I am not disappointed, the quality is satisfying.

Different pros: A good strong cooler, like a working one but have not tested it yet. Has cons: The most negative thing is that there was no mount in the kit for the AM4 socket for a standard mount on the motherboard ears, the mount itself, which should be fixed to the tower cooler, is called a boat, it has ears on the sides that are attached to the standard AM4 mother mount. Yes, of course, the kit included a mount just for my Mother, but they are bolted! and you need to remove the native mount

Good cooler for a reasonable price. Installed on a Ryzen 5 5600x in a case with not the best ventilation and a top-mounted PSU, the temperature in the stress test rose to a maximum of 74 degrees. Convenient fasteners for installation. After installation does not bend the mat. fee.

Pros
  • Good cooler for the price.
Cons
  • After removing the protective film, glue remained on the surface.

I will never repeat this purchase.

Not suitable for 2022 socket although they write that it is suitable, I issued a return, the cooler itself looks excellent, but not for all sockets to the Chinese mother x79 since 2022 did not fit!

Good cooling for a processor that has no more than 100w of consumption, I think if you put more, then the percentage will already start throttling.

Pros
  • 1) It copes well with cooling R5 5600 (not X), it is 65w (in fact, about 70-75) and I have not seen temperatures above 66 degrees. 2) A good kit for all modern AMD and Intel mounts and THERMAL PASTE (and of quite good quality, definitely not KPT-8) 3) Good blue illumination around the valve, the valve itself is quite quiet
Cons
  • 1) An inconvenient method of fixing on the motherboard, 4 bolts that the tower covers, of course there is a key (hexagon), but after installing the motherboard in the case, it was impossible to twist them. I had to look for a thin screwdriver and twist it as best I could. 2) In fact, not 5 heat pipes, but 3 full and 2 half.

Good product for me, no problems at all.

The cooler has a beautiful backlight (monochrome) that does not lighten the eyes. The fan is of good quality. Under the rayzen 4650g cooler in stock, the temperature is kept within 30-35 degrees, while the cooler runs at 1200 rpm on the car and is not audible at all. Let's see what happens if we overclock the processor. Declared 160 W dissipated power. Should handle my stone no problem. On top of the cooler there is a wild plastic cover. I would like to see a metal one for the best top output…

Pros
  • Quiet The maximum number of revolutions is 1800 (can be adjusted in the BIOS) Convenient mount for AMD Quality highlighting
Cons
  • Number of tubes (full 4 tubes) Turn off highlighting (however, it is done very competently and does not hurt the eyes)

A really necessary purchase, Im glad I found this product.

I bought this cooler half a year ago, maybe a little more. I had it on an old 4-core intel core 2 quad on socket 775. But suddenly, a month ago, I decided to upgrade to a 1200 socket and an i7 11700. I thought this cooler would not cope and I would have to buy something more expensive, YouTube is full of videos in which they all say that the 11th generation of Intel is hot and needs to be installed big coolers or dropsy. But it turns out not, this cooler copes quite well with itself. And in…

Pros
  • Price, performance, silence.
Cons
  • There are no additional wire mounts for a second fan. The sole is poorly processed, it was necessary to grind on fine sandpaper.

I'm satisfied, the product is exactly as described.

at maximum speed it buzzes a bit, it’s comfortable at 90%, but I have the lid open and the computer is right under me, it cools well, but my previous one, to my surprise, is even better. it turned out that I exchanged 6 heat pipes for 4 and a half, and my cooler was one of the top ones 10 years ago, even in terms of weight there is a difference. I changed it because the fan was loosened in the past and I thought that technologies had made a significant step forward during this time, but not) I…

Pros
  • + support for different sockets + seems to be inexpensive (I took it for 1575r for a promotion) + complete thermal paste seems to be good
Cons
  • - little hum - the metal is not the densest

I bought it for 1150 at the end of 2022. Now I wouldn’t take it for the current price, given these shortcomings. Better similar deepcool with 4 copper tubes with low noise fan. Got pros: 4 copper tubes. Normally cools the intel i7 3770 processor at a frequency of 4100 GHz, the processor temperature rarely rises above 60 degrees. Low price at the end of 2022. (11050 rub.) Some cons: Inconvenient mounts that protrude very strongly from the bottom of the motherboard, which interferes with…

The product is okay, it's not a waste of money!

I took it at 5700x, on the whole I was satisfied, in tests and games, I have not yet seen above 74 degrees. I used thermal paste not from the kit, but gd900-1. . In very heavy games, there may be a peak temperature of 80-82 at some points. At the same time, the cooler spins at 1800 rpm and howls slightly. Still not completely satisfied with the cooler. Rating 4, but with a big minus I put him.

Pros
  • Cute. The backlight is just what I wanted. In general, it manages 5700x at standard settings with boost. The noise level is acceptable.
Cons
  • Although version v2, which sort of simplified installation on AM4, it was not very convenient to install for a number of reasons, I suffered. I wonder what was there in the 1st version :)

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

Keeps the ryzen 7 3700x at maximum load around 55 degrees, but the 11400f warms up to 62 degrees. but all the same, this is only in stress tests, in real tasks and games, the temperature of both keeps within 50 degrees and the coolers spin around 1500 rpm. so I definitely recommend it! With its pros: Workmanship Cooling quality Low noise Includes 1g of high-quality thermal paste, which is enough for 2-3 times All necessary fasteners for all existing sockets Adequate cost compared to analogues…

A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

Great unbrand. Includes all mounting options (am3,am4,115x,2022). There is also a small tube of paste included (did not use). On some motherboards, there may be a problem with installing heatsink memory, I got back to back (not in height, but on the side, the fan rested against the board, it would be unrealistic to put it on some am3, in height). A stone with a TDP of 145 and going beyond it for a minute cools stably. Two out of five tubes are defective. But, it does not interfere with the work

Pros
  • Price, performance, height dimensions, equipment, ease of assembly, fan without vibration.
Cons
  • For such a price (1300) they are not.

I can't believe I paid for it, the quality is disgusting.

not suitable for motherboards on AM2 AM3 not a single broom from this series PCCooler GI-Xxx V2 is V2 new. On similar and there are many such different motherboards. K10N78D GA-M55PLUS-S3G Because the manufacturer was too lazy and did not report fastenings for these sockets. Physically, this radiator is in no way possible to hook onto the motherboard. These brooms are simply not physically clean to fix from the word SAFSEM. For the wires. It was probably hard to make normal fasteners for a…

Pros
  • like everything in a box Broom mounts - all only on INTEL instruction
Cons
  • Not everything in a box no mounts for AM 2 3 AMD sockets In the kit, they would put spare wires for attaching an additional cooler. Buy bought and can not deliver.

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

Bought for i5-11400. It was not a tower, for 700 re, supposedly for 110 watts. I didn’t cope at all, I warmed up to 90. This one holds around 65 degrees. Healthy of course. The installation needs some thought. I used the thermal paste that came with it. Didn't regret spending the money at all. It’s better to take one right away, otherwise now two coolers are lying around that are not needed. It seems like real copper tubes, scratched one

Pros
  • Super cooling
Cons
  • Price. Dimensions.

Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

The tower was scratched, there was also a kotska on the fan, I took it for Am3 +, I installed it according to the instructions, a non-standard mount, 8320 keeps within 60 degrees in a small overclock in games. I took the tower with a margin for new ryzens, I'm sure he will cope with them just as well. Has pros: +Quiet + Beautiful backlight +Efficient cooling +Low cost + Mount, which, as for me, is more convenient than the standard one for AM3 + + Good design + The presence of a large number of…

Worst product for the money, wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I am writing a complaint to Rospotrebnadzor for the supply of low-quality goods. Of course, I'm not going to pay for the split. I am also going to go to court and make sure that such a low-quality product gets up and and online trade across the throat. Don't take it under any circumstances! I called the master and he said that the cooler does not fit the lga 1200 socket. The seller is a scammer. I am now writing a statement to the police, in addition to greed in all instances.

Pros
  • This is a terrible product.
Cons
  • The fan cannot be attached to the cooler using standard mounts. I spent an hour and a half and threw them in the trash.
