Hot trash literally

Installation is quite troublesome and requires two people. If you don't work with two people, you risk an incorrect sitting position. I'm also not keen on how hard I have to push down on the CPU to get to the holes on the motherboard. The instructions are pretty poor and actually required me to find a video. The cooling is slightly less than the standard cooler. I had a maximum temperature of 38 degrees Celsius with my standard cooler before and after installation, I ran at 32-36 degrees Celsius. Other people have said that it damaged their processors and I actually have to return my processor under warranty due to constant crashes and processor failures. I don't think it's directly related to the cooler, but it's nice to mention. In my opinion I would pay a little more for something better. I never got RGB to work either, but they still show the picture from RGBUpdate: the cooler is junk unless you want to open the case and let dust suck it in. It's so bad that my CPU temperature gets so high that it causes fatal CPU error. I am repairing my processor and it still has this problem. I'm trying to keep my case open so it can be used. Pay a little more for something better. Update: My CPU has already been damaged twice and either I'm unlucky or this cooler is damaging it. It installed flawlessly and shouldn't have any problems. The way it sits almost looks like it's going to crash the CPU. No way to confirm it's a cooler, but I'll get rid of it.

Pros
  • Internal components
Cons
  • Slightly torn
