Review on Dynatron K17 💨 Cooling Fan with Heatsink by Robert Ryokan

I used this fan to replace the stock fan that comes with the Intel I5-4670K. I've noticed that some recent CPU intensive games have pushed the CPU into the 90-95 C range, which isn't great. The Haswell CPU family starts with thermal management to protect the CPU in the range of 90 to 100 °C. When my CPU hit 100 degrees, this cooler was on its way. I stopped all high performance CPU activity until it arrived. Since installing this cooler with just the included components, the highest temperature I've seen was 68°C in the same CPU-heavy game. This is a significant improvement over the stock fan. I've been watching this for several days. I have read some of the previous reviews of this product and people who have indicated that they need a special tool to turn the screws. The manufacturers must have stopped there, because the screws have a standardized Phillips head. Additionally, I also remember some reviews mentioning that without instructions it can be difficult to figure out how the mounting brackets provided for the back of the motherboard should be installed and some concerns that people who don't know , possibly shorting out your motherboard You are installed correctly. Again, it looks like the manufacturer was listening, as the side pressed against the motherboard has peelable adhesive to attach the bracket to the motherboard. I haven't encountered the rib and screw issue that some people have reported. I thought about this when I installed them and thought maybe using a larger Phillips head screwdriver might be a problem. I haven't encountered any such problems either. I used this on an ASROCK Fatal1ty Z97 Killer motherboard. break and otherwise be compromised. I would buy this cooler again.
