Increased performance and framerate in my games!

This cooler is a beast, it's a V8 GTS and I upgraded from an AMD 4300 quad core to an AMD (Heat Furnace I know) 8350, the weak fan kept the quad core cool. but it couldn't cool 8 cores without A/C on. I did a bit of searching and decided between v8 and v10, as you know I chose AMD so bit by bit I'm building the best budget gaming pc I can get. I literally replaced everything but the hard drive in 3 years. DO: I know it hurts but take out the motherboard or take it off (which I did) and tilt it or you CANNOT screw this beast unless you have gnome hands, I also had to take out my graphics card. If your computer is 4 years old, it will fit in an outlet. Also make sure you have room for it, I have 32g Hyper X Fury RAM and it doesn't affect it in any way. Thought I might have to take out the first floor but low profile Hyper X Fury Ram so we were ready to go hire a second person to help you with the install as I am disabled but still. These cooler preforms increase my frames, load times of everything. Basically, when the computer is cooler, it runs faster and is the best fan-cooled dog for under $100. You ask why not just go liquid? The answer is simple, air just doesn't decide that one day it will leak and destroy a $1000+ computer because let's face it. Even if you think of it as a cooler, you don't want it to be a toaster computer.
