Description of CPU cooler PCcooler GI-X5 V2, silver/black/red
- Good cooler for the price.
- After removing the protective film, glue remained on the surface.
- build quality, functionality
- installation method
- 1) It copes well with cooling R5 5600 (not X), it is 65w (in fact, about 70-75) and I have not seen temperatures above 66 degrees. 2) A good kit for all modern AMD and Intel mounts and THERMAL PASTE (and of quite good quality, definitely not KPT-8) 3) Good blue illumination around the valve, the valve itself is quite quiet
- 1) An inconvenient method of fixing on the motherboard, 4 bolts that the tower covers, of course there is a key (hexagon), but after installing the motherboard in the case, it was impossible to twist them. I had to look for a thin screwdriver and twist it as best I could. 2) In fact, not 5 heat pipes, but 3 full and 2 half.
- Quiet The maximum number of revolutions is 1800 (can be adjusted in the BIOS) Convenient mount for AMD Quality highlighting
- Number of tubes (full 4 tubes) Turn off highlighting (however, it is done very competently and does not hurt the eyes)
- Price, performance, silence.
- There are no additional wire mounts for a second fan. The sole is poorly processed, it was necessary to grind on fine sandpaper.
- + support for different sockets + seems to be inexpensive (I took it for 1575r for a promotion) + complete thermal paste seems to be good
- - little hum - the metal is not the densest
- Cute. The backlight is just what I wanted. In general, it manages 5700x at standard settings with boost. The noise level is acceptable.
- Although version v2, which sort of simplified installation on AM4, it was not very convenient to install for a number of reasons, I suffered. I wonder what was there in the 1st version :)
- Price, performance, height dimensions, equipment, ease of assembly, fan without vibration.
- For such a price (1300) they are not.
- like everything in a box Broom mounts - all only on INTEL instruction
- Not everything in a box no mounts for AM 2 3 AMD sockets In the kit, they would put spare wires for attaching an additional cooler. Buy bought and can not deliver.
- Super cooling
- Price. Dimensions.
- This is a terrible product.
- The fan cannot be attached to the cooler using standard mounts. I spent an hour and a half and threw them in the trash.
