Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like the product, the quality didn't let me down.

An excellent cooler, even coped with the damned haswell with thermal paste under the cover, which the boxed one and gammaxx300 could not cope with. But the price should be lowered because of the noisy fan. Has some pros It removes heat very well. The tubes are soldered to an even, smooth copper base, which is a huge plus compared to direct contact coolers, where the pressure is uneven, and there are often traces of the cutter. could continue to heat, but the CPU dropped the frequency, so the difference could be greater. The kit includes a good paste. This is not the paste that is sold in syringes under the zm-t2 brand. There is some kind of chewing gum in the syringes, but a whole gram is included a paste of convenient consistency in a disposable bag.

E. rather narrow office ATX cases; the fan slightly overlapping the first RAM slot can be lifted and then the bracket can be installed. thread, then the bushings are fixed with clips until they click, so that they do not spin or fall out during installation. The backplate is inserted, the radiator is placed on top and the bolts are screwed in turn with the supplied key. key. At the end, it remains to put the brackets on the fan and fasten it to the radiator. Everything is clear from the instructions. There is simple technical English and a lot of detailed pictures for each installation option - on different sockets. The radiator fins sit tightly. By the way, they are not sharp at the edges, like some coolers, which can be skinned in one motion. Some cons: Noisy fan. It buzzes at any speed. Of course, you can put another one. I like some deep coolers, they are very quiet even at 80% of revolutions. But the price is already so high (I bought for 1650).
