Overall it's not bad, but I expected more.

I bought it as a replacement for the standard cooling system (aluminum radiator + 80mm fan at 3300 rpm). Under load (LinX), the processor cores (Core2Duo E7500) added 7 degrees, and the temperature of the processor "lid" increased by 4 degrees. Replacing the standard thermal paste with "Xilence X5" wins back almost 1 degree. Although DeepCool loses in performance to the previous system, it is recommended to buy in . (where the thread, in return .) due to low (or rather less) noise, that is, CO has no special advantages except for a 1600 rpm fan.

Pros

1. Price 200. sort of like a radiator with a 120th. 2. Fastening is convenient (for 2 min. on 775 socket, the spring easily clings with a screwdriver). 3. Fan at 1600 rpm. (but 3-pin) 4. The base is even, the processing of the entire product is normal (you won’t be able to cut yourself).

Cons

1. There is no way to replace the fan without a "" (the native one at the outlet has an average of only 96mm in diameter, and not 120mm.). 2. The small area of contact with the processor (average 34mm in diameter) did not close the cover of the Core 2 Duo. 3. Almost hit the chipset heatsink (but this is a special case)
