I was choosing between Performa and Flex, both are good, but the first one was 200R. cheaper and with a fan included and far from noisy, Flex is more efficient at low speeds, since the intercostal distance is larger, the second fan (I put ~800rmp to the standard Scythe SlipStream) drops 3-5 degrees), in general, a solid cooler, I advise everyone Has some pros Price/quality is high, there are few analogues, Phenom II 955BE @ 3.6 in overclocking, in idle 32-35, in linpack maximum 48, and this is…

AMD Phenom II X4 925 with CPU FSB overclocked to 300 MHz (base 200). The temperature with a standard cooler included in idle time is 95C, I didn’t even risk it under load. With Zalman CNPS10X Performa and KPT8 thermal grease, the idle temperature is 32-38 C, under continuous full load, the maximum reached 51 C. Pros: good cooling, in previous reviews it is written very noisy . at night, if complete silence is heard, during the day I don’t notice background noises Got cons: inconvenient…

I bought this device and am very satisfied. Many people write that the CNPS10X Performa installation is very heavy, all this is a lie. The cooler is easy to install, you just need to carefully look at the instructions. There is one difficulty in superthermal paste, it is very thick and difficult to apply to the processor. GHz / 6MB overclocked to 4.223GHz, the temperature under stress load did not rise above 70 degrees, the speed was 1074rpm. Someone wrote that he has an i5-3570K Ivy Bridge…

copes well with home overclocking, as for extreme sports, I think you should look for something more expensive. The crooked base is frustrating, at a convenient moment it will be leveled, possibly polished. Despite the many reviews about quiet operation, I can’t say the same, I’ll change the standard fan as soon as possible. In general, this is a good cooler for the money, although it requires some improvements.

Installed on Intel Core i7 870. Excellent cooler. At idle it is 26 degrees, in the test the OSST does not rise above 55. I do not regret buying, now I will overclock. Got pros: Cools great. Quiet. If you put a resistor (which is included), then the speed does not reach the maximum, therefore, there is little noise. Some cons: The stock thermal paste is no good. I did not have time to smear it, it immediately hardened. Fan didn't help. Changed to Cooler Master's.

Why does this model have so many positive reviews? Bought for them. As for me, a terrible cooler, before that it was Thermaltake, it worked for 5 years without a single failure, under any loads the minimum temperatures, never even changed the thermal paste under it, I had to change it due to switching to another socket. Let's start with the fact that the cooler makes it difficult to set the RAM bar, the radiator fins are very low, you can, of course, pull the fan up to the limit, but then the

Bought at the store on the recommendation of the seller. When I started to install, I noticed that the straps with which the radiator is attached to the motherboard STUPIDLY DO NOT REACH THE sockets into which they should be screwed! I have almost no idea how you can install this cooler alone! Although I did not remove the motherboard - they say that it is easier to install it this way. And earlier there were other brackets in the kit for the cooler! with a bend, not straight as now! here…

If you are satisfied with a wild howl, then you probably won’t find a better cooling, the fan cools the hottest pebbles incomparably! In fact, apart from the noise - no complaints. After replacing the cooler with Noctua NF-P12 PWM, the noise disappeared, but it cools worse. With its pros. It’s inexpensive, it even cooled my AMD-FX8150 frying pan amazingly, the idle temperature is 29 degrees! Maximum 53 in toys! Some cons: It is very difficult to install and works VERY loudly, I replaced the…

Take it and you will not regret the money spent. First I bought an AMD Phenom x4 955 black edition OEM version, installed it with a boxed cooler from Athlon x2 240. The processor got very hot up to 52 in idle time and 62 in the browser))). Launched Mass Effect 3 there are all 72 degrees. I put my Athlone back before buying a new cooling. Long chose and stopped there. Take it and you won't regret it.

when cooling AMD Phenom II X6 1055T, 3315 MHz with a standard system from AMD at 125 watts, when encoding video, the temperature was prohibitive - 62 degrees. With this cooling system, it barely reaches 50 under continuous maximum load. I immediately replaced the branded fan with Arctic Cooling F12 PWM. Silence! Installation without problems, but you need to remove the board. Someone wrote the key is not enough, someone else needed hands . No, he put one, the key was long enough. Only the body…

Eternal cooler! I have been using this one since 2022, it has already gone through several processors, different sockets, and yesterday it took its place on a new motherboard. The heatsink dissipation was enough to use it without a bundled cooler on a Core i3 ivy bridge with easy bus overclocking. On i5, Xeon already passive cooling is not enough. It works all the time at 900 rpm, there is almost no noise, the temperature regime is always comfortable for the CPU. The installation process is…

I took it for 38 ye happy as an elephant! If I had a hot percent, I would take something else! And so I think this is the best choice for your money, I recommend to buy! Has pros: 1) Very very quiet in operation 2) Cools very cool AMD Phenom X4 2800 MHz in overclocking 3300 and under load regular from 68 g (and makes noise like a Boeing 747 on takeoff) the same 50 g and just do not hear 3) I turned off the cooler just in general and under a load of 55 gr, no more, which means that you can use

Excellent tower cooler, I advise everyone who loves silence and cooling. Moreover, Zalman Extreme loses 1-2 degrees to him))) Its pros: Excellent cooler, cools well, at 900 cooler rpm my AMD Phenom II x6 processor, overclocked to 4.2GHz (FSB327MHz) after 15 minutes of Everest CPU stability test, the temperature was stable and equal to 52 degrees! Supports modern mounting connectors, quiet, up to 1200 rpm it is not audible at all. Got cons: Slightly inconvenient mount, installed on a motherboard

I replaced the stock valve with Arctic Cooling F12 PWM, the temperature is almost the same, but silence. In the air, it keeps the i7 3770 overclocked to 4.2 GHz, what else do you need from a cooler for 1000? Installation on Intel is the same as on most modern towers, according to the instructions I did everything pretty quickly, only I didn’t put a protective plastic square, since on my mother (MSI Z77A-G43) there is a plate under the socket and with this square the bolts do not reach mounting…

An excellent cooler, even coped with the damned haswell with thermal paste under the cover, which the boxed one and gammaxx300 could not cope with. But the price should be lowered because of the noisy fan. Has some pros It removes heat very well. The tubes are soldered to an even, smooth copper base, which is a huge plus compared to direct contact coolers, where the pressure is uneven, and there are often traces of the cutter. could continue to heat, but the CPU dropped the frequency, so the…

More than satisfied with the purchase. Took for 1400 + 350 paid for the second Scythe fan. Such a system more than suits me and reassures me. An unoverclocked Phenom II X4 955 cools 36-42 degrees in idle or office mode (34-35 with the window open) at <800 fan speeds. In the game (FEAR2) the temperature after 30-40 minutes of play keeps around 45-46 degrees. Before that, there was a boxed cooler for 3 weeks. and now it was a hell of a stove. There can be no comparison. In office mode, a…

When installing the fan on the motherboard, the shortcomings of the kit were revealed. The holes in the plastic "clamps" are smaller than the "nuts", as a result, for installation according to the instructions, they must be modified. After dismantling the native "socket", attaching the assembled bar from the kit to the reverse side, I noticed that the middle part under the processor rests against the motherboard, and the extreme points (to which the cooler is attached) are in the air, and the…

Great cooler! Took on my new i5 2500K, overclocked to 4GHz. At idle 32-34 degrees, in OCCT Linpack a maximum of 55 degrees. At a temperature in the case ~ 27 degrees. I did not use the complete paste, I bought Arctic Silver 5. Efficiency with and without a resistor almost does not change, but there is almost no noise with the installed resistor. I installed it without problems on a fixed motherboard in the Z9 Plus case, because it has a very convenient window under the socket. Recommend to…

Cools Intel core i5 3570k@4.2ghz (no longer needed), idle ~27-30 degrees, load ~50-55. I took it for 1050 a year ago - it works perfectly. When buying, look at what will not fit into every case and on some motherboards it can block the nearest memory slots. I advise you to immediately change the regular fan, because. a little noisy and you will immediately fall in love with the cooler (shamanism in the BIOS did not help).

When choosing a cooler, I re-read a lot of reviews and as a result settled on two models. As a result, I took this one, due to the fact that it was noticeably (1000r vs 1270r) cheaper. After spending more than an hour with the installation instructions, I got myself a quiet and efficient cooling. Classical, solid and without show-off design, a good complete fan with PWM, not too high weight, well-thought-out mount with a mounting plate at the back.
