Review on 🌑️ SilverStone NT08-115X Low Profile CPU Cooler - 48mm Height, 95W TDP, LGA 115X Socket Compatibility by Matthew Mosley

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Computer Components Great fan

Great fan and low profile that matches my case. It's quiet enough that I can't hear it. I'm using a Pentium chip and my temperature averages around 34C and under full load it never goes above 47C but ymmv. The screws are much better than standard Intel fans. There is a backplate that needs to be placed under your motherboard for everything to connect properly. Cons: The only problem I had was that my Asus motherboard had 2 capacitors so I had to trim 2 fins. This wasn't a big deal, but I advise you to check the gap dimensions before purchasing. Other thoughts: I didn't use the thermal paste that came with the kit, so I can't comment on that. The thermal paste I use on all my builds is IC Diamond and has never had a problem. My temperature dropped 10 degrees compared to using Arctic Silver. So if you are looking for a good pasta, check out this brand. You can search Revain for it.
