Review on Deepcool GAMMAXX 300 CPU cooler, silver/black/blue by Adam Dziarnowski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Performs its functions, nothing unusual.

In general, a very controversial bag from the near segment. One was bought, worked for half a year on the FX-4100 without overclocking, in normal flight. Then the change of platform, AM4, the same bag began to cool the fermented baked milk 2300, the flight was normal again. I decided to assemble another system in reserve, already for myself, on am3 +, on a pebble FX-4100. mother on a 970 giga chipset, and two 4 giga dies of the old Fury Genesis from Kingston. I bought exactly the same bag, well, I thought I could handle it . FIG. Overclocking is fixed, energy savings are disabled, a constant frequency of 3.75 GHz, along with it, the memory is heated up to 2 GHz, at a voltage of ~ 1.63. Prots thrown +020225 volts over the drain. And the result? Goes offline, without even a hint of throttling. I can not say that the bag is defective, it is definitely not. After the cut, feeling the radiator confirms that it removes heat, but does not cope - hot fins, and copper tubes are generally boiling water, even at the tips. I suppose the fan is not designed to remove a constant heat pack of 120+ watts, and even changing the thermal paste to mx-4 did not fix the situation. Conclusion: not bad for processors with a 65-watt heat pack, but a 95-watt power pack will not pull in constant overclocking. Perhaps it will help to change the turntable to some more noisy, but pumping more air flow.

Pros
  • + No noise even at maximum speed + Pasta included (a trifle, but nice) + Clearly adheres to the socket, fits snugly
Cons
  • - No, it will not withstand the declared 130 watts of heat dissipation, because the same DeepCool Ice wing 5 Pro has as many as five heat pipes, a 120x120 fan, and heat dissipation is the same 130 watts. The characteristic is overestimated, there is no stock there. - The spinner is not very productive, and due to its low speed, you can even unscrew the PWM adjustment all the way - it won’t make noise, but it won’t cool much better either. - the mounting method on AMD sockets is terrible, to be honest, it's scary to leave a dent on the processor cover during installation, this bracket is so tight.
