Review on Enhanced Thermal Solution for Intel Corp BXTS13A by Paul Williams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect quick cheap reliable heatsink replacement

This thing will save your PC's life Water coolers require a lot of maintenance or sometimes just don't work. My water cooler helped me for a while, but it died shortly after. To protect my computer from the 95 degree heat on my CPU this thing works wonders, it's cheap and a great replacement while I think it's the best cooler replacement. This thing actually produces cooler temperatures than my water cooler when I was younger, which makes me think maybe I should have always used a heatsink tailored to my particular build. Average 40 maybe 38 or 35 depending on thermal paste or fan setting while gaming, the highest I've seen is 55, it's rare that it actually goes to 60, never happened to me when I got it If you have a regular 4-pin square CPU case, just unscrew one and replace it with another. It has this little blue light, which actually works well with my build since I don't have RGB, but there's a lot of blue, red, and white that comes with the MSI and blue LED strip, so keep that in mind, most of You will use this as a quick backup that will eventually need to be replaced, but I can hardly say that this little thing could very well carry your gear for a long time, this is a soldier.
