Nice Heatsink Cover

This cover looks pretty good when it's installed. I did bend the arms a little to give it a tighter fit, but otherwise it's easily attached. It also seems a little expensive for what it is.

Pros
  • Love these.. Great touch, on a great heatsinkVery easy to installNice bang for the buck...
Cons
  • The cover may cause clearance issues with other components in the PC

Gerat design on my review.

Installed on my Chromax Black NH-U12S cooler, but the white really compliments the all black fan. Looks great in my white-themed build. Super easy to install. It does add a few millimeters to the cooler's height, though, so double check there's enough clearance to your case side cover.

Pros
  • easy install, looks great!
Cons
  • The product may not fit all PC cases or motherboards

Excellent quality. best in my review

Easy to install. Build quality is EXCELLENT. It adds a nice finishing touch for a custom build. Fair price for a quality piece of engineering.

Pros
  • Simple mounting, well worth the money for what it adds.
Cons
  • The cover may reduce airflow and cooling efficiency of the CPU cooler

May not fit in your PC

Have a mid tower case with a flat side panel? This probably won't fit. I had to trim mine down a bit in order to fit, and even then it's still in contact with my glass side panel.

Pros
  • Super easy to install! Nice accent for the cooler.
Cons
  • The product is overpriced for a simple heatsink cover
