Review on πŸ”‡ Silence is Bliss! BK030 Pure Rock Slim 2, 130W TDP, CPU Cooler by Isaac Tutt

Revainrating 4 out of 5

AMD stay away from it! THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH AM4!

Just attempted to install this cooler. I have AM4 (Gigabyte from 350 mobo). The fact that this product says "AM4 Compatible" at the top of the page is driving me nuts! The clip used to hold the fan is not suitable for AM4. I had to unscrew the brackets from the motherboard and try to insert the cooler clip and then screw the bracket back onto the motherboard. This worked, but when you try to push the clamp to hold the cooler in place, it pushes the cooler down 3/8" (if not more). The big problem is that the motherboard breaks in half. when you try to push it all the way down. If you leave it open, the radiator just dangles there. It's funny that this company goes crazy and says it's compatible with certain motherboards when it's absolutely not! If you are an AMD user, stay away from this cooler and find another one. On the attached picture you can see where the metal bracket should go under the plastic hook. The position it is in is the lowest position, if you tighten it (push the lever down) it goes up another 3/8 inch.
