Review on ๐Ÿ’จ High-Performance Intel Fan Heatsink Assembly Air 1151 Cooling - BXTS15A: Efficient CPU Cooling Solution by Scott Pentapati

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Do you know what sharpens my gears?

Fan bearing grinding noise. Every time it cranks up or down, it sounds like a hamster-sized table saw. I thought I put that noise behind me in the days of ATA/100 hard drives. Not the sound I need in a computer in 2021. I probably have bad audio, but I think that's the level of quality control at the moment. I'll probably check that out if it doesn't sound better a week or so after launch. Everything else installed without any problems and otherwise the radiator looks great. I would buy it again if I knew the bearings wouldn't break right out of the box.

Pros
  • Internal components
Cons
  • No
