Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ High-Performance Silverstone Tek Low-Profile Heatsink CPU Cooler: 92mm PWM Fan, 4 Heat Pipes (Intel LGA1155/1156/1150 and AMD AM2/AM3/FM1/FM2 AR06) by Steven Adams

The part needs better quality control.

Item arrived in good condition. The manufacturer's packaging was intact. However, after connecting to the 4-pin CPU FAN header, the BIOS indicated that the fan was only running at 960 RPM. Sometimes the RPMs jumped to 1600. I ended up replacing the fan with a full size 80mm fan. The company I bought it from didn't help. Another point. Attaching this heatsink to the motherboard is another point. You must remove and replace the original AMD processor heatsink clamp assembly. The nuts/bolts going through the motherboard (ASUS) are too small and the heatsink may slip a bit. However, it fits and seems to do a good cooling job.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Large and bulky
