Review on CPU cooler Deepcool GAMMA ARCHER PRO, black by Petar Buchkov ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The right product for me, there were no problems.

I was looking for a cooler with a 120mm fan and PWM for socket 775. The case is narrow, so the tower one will not fit, but this one is just right. Now all the coolers in the system unit (and there are 4 of them - for blowing in / blowing out, a system unit cooler and a processor cooler) are 120 mm in diameter, the system turned out to be quiet. A few tips: 1) - on the "ring" that is attached to the motherboard, where special clips are inserted in the form of "studs", there are jumpers, depending on which socket this cooler will be installed under (775 or 115x) in this direction and you need to turn the jumper, lower position 775, top 115x (there is a corresponding hint both next to the jumper and on the box). - Fix with nails - Unscrew the fan for convenience. -Remove the sticker from the bottom of the radiator. - Degrease surfaces with alcohol. -Apply the paste (on the processor in a thin layer, there should be a little left in the bag). For convenience, you can apply with your finger, but through a plastic bag. -Install the radiator. - Screw on the fan. - Connect to the 4-PIN CPU of the motherboard On average, the installation took 15-20 minutes 2) - the paste that is in the kit is quite suitable, it is well smeared, and I think that it is definitely not worse than kpt-8 And most importantly, due to the peculiarities of these types of coolers (radiators), which "drive" air through the system unit, one should not forget about good ventilation. those. if you only have a processor cooler and a power supply unit installed (which is also not always the case, budget units are equipped with 80mm fans), then the air temperature in the system unit will not be sufficiently minimal. Therefore, for the efficient operation of this cooler, first of all, you must also take care of the ventilation of the entire system unit.

Pros
  • - quiet, inexpensive, PWM (cooler speed control), 120mm - fan
Cons
  • not yet discovered. the only thing is that I had to unscrew the fan for ease of installation, but I don’t think it’s a disadvantage, it didn’t cause any difficulty
