Review on DEEPCOOL Gamma Archer CPU Air Cooler with 120mm Fan for Intel and AMD Processors - High Airflow Design by Ada Samoraj ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I didn't like it, I don't recommend buying.

I took three of these at different times. In all three cases, the cooler bends the motherboard like hell due to an indecently rigid pressure plate. Without a backplate, it just breaks the board. And backplates are only on AMD motherboards. Cools as well or even worse than boxed. Installation in the case is impossible: the motherboard always has to be removed. On the Asus P5E motherboard, with great difficulty, I climbed between the radiators for cooling the power circuits and the chipset. And then I had to weave the cooler fins with the radiator fins on the chipset. I do not recommend.

Pros
  • colored blades Fan size
Cons
  • Terrible fixture Small contact patch With great difficulty climbed between the radiators of the motherboard
