Review on 🌑️ SilverStone NT08-115X Low Profile CPU Cooler - 48mm Height, 95W TDP, LGA 115X Socket Compatibility by Ameer Kobblewood

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good, but with some limitations

The heatsink doesn't differ from Intel's standard solution in terms of cooling, but there are some problems. The fan shroud is not aligned properly enough to push or pull the heatsink pins to install them. It was not possible to rotate the shroud because the plastic clips did not line up with the notches on the cooling fins. I could tell it was hand carved and had no choice but to cut the plastic clips so I could move the sheathing properly. The height is not exactly as stated, it is a few millimeters too high. I still had plenty of room to install, but I'm probably losing airflow since it's so close to the case cover. Although I got it right in the end, it's a pity the manufacturer didn't pay attention to these quality issues.

Pros
  • True Solid Copper Contact Base offers up to 95W of heat dissipation
Cons
  • Good, but not great
