🌬️ Thermaltake Slim X3 Low Profile CPU Fan Review & Specs: Intel LGA775/1156/1200 (CLP0534) Review

Better than boxed from Intel, but not much and cheaper, compact . To install, you need to pull out the mother in order to screw the nuts on the other side.

Great item for mini-ITX. I put on the second computer on CoreI5. Just do not understand why take BOX. In my opinion, even a child can handle the installation, you just need to install it first, and then screw the mother.

Has some pros +sy: 4pin connector it must be! low profile for installation in almost any case. it also blows the memory or the bridge, depending on how it fits. Has cons: -sy: the tubes do not touch the processor, I think the cooling could be even more efficient. All the same, not all motherboards fit easily.

Its pros: Very small. Confident fastening (metal nuts screwed on the reverse side of the motherboard). The presence of copper pipes. Price. Cons below: Instead of the declared 4pin, I got 3pin, because of which the fan turned the blades so fast as if it wanted to escape from this damn unit. And it sounded like it was burning in hell.

Used for about six months, no complaints. By default, it cools badly, there are no drivers for QST, however, after downloading the SDK from the Intel website, I managed to write a thermal control utility (rotation speed control). The speed on the cooler is regulated very smoothly, without jerks. In normal mode, it is very quiet, quieter than a netbook, but at maximum speed the noise level increases significantly. During CPU load at 60%, the fan is almost inaudible.

I bought this item to cool my i7 8700k and it was able to keep the cpu at around 35C in standby mode. I overclocked the CPU to 4.7GHz and this kept the chip somewhat within the acceptable 70-90C during normal use, but any significant load for more than a few minutes would raise the temperature to over 100C and the CPU started throttling around 4.2GHz, keeping the temperature in the high 90s and low 100s. With the stock CPU clocking at 3.7 GHz, the pace was quite reasonable. The processor stayed

I installed this on my Intel Core i7 6700K 4.00GHz. I threw away the supplied fan and replaced it with an 80mm Vantec Stealth fan. I don't manually set the fan speed as I don't overclock and this gives me near-silent performance. I have excellent hearing and can barely hear it when the room is dead quiet. I also covered it with arctic silver. I like it because it's durable, installs very well, has a low profile, and transfers heat well. WARNING: You must unplug the motherboard to install this…

The way you need to install this heatsink is counterintuitive and thermal paste will be smeared all over the place during installation because you need to install it upside down. Also, the thermal paste that comes with this thing is terrible, but I guess I should have expected that. There aren't many other low-profile CPU fans to choose from.

I have now installed this radiator fan assembly. I love it. It's a low whisper and very effective. My pace is appropriate. For the price, it's hard to find anything better. Love the low profile design and had fun with the mounting system. It's not practical, but I loved it. Of course I'm a nerd who likes to collect. What is wrong with this mount is that it forces you to remove the board prior to installation. So make sure you don't want to remove it once installed. The attachment system is…

I have a Lian Li PC-Q07 with i3 2125 and I need a CPU cooler that can reverse the fan as there is no system fan in the case itself except for the fans in the PSU and CPU cooler. If the CPU fan runs in reverse and draws heat to the PSU fan, the PSU can pull heat out of the case. After considering price, performance, and cooler height, I bought a refurbished X3 from Revain Market. Came without original packaging. But all parts and instructions are intact and look new to me. In general it is easy…

Bought a year ago. This is the perfect size for my tiny HTPC case. I woke up to a loud noise last night and realized it was coming from the HTPC. When I got home from work today, I opened the case and expected the noise to come from a slightly old hard drive. nope Okay, put your finger in the case fan, no. The? It was so loud I didn't think a small CPU fan could make that much noise. I stuck my finger in for a second and the noise stopped. Wow. So now I need to find a new low profile fan.

I was a bit worried when I bought this CPU cooler. I have a small sealed ITX case. 8 hard drives. The previous CPU cooler kept a pleasant 60°C. The processor sometimes reached 90C. I needed something better than the not so famous brand I was using. I put this in and the CPU stays in the 40C range. Very, very satisfied. I didn't have much space between the processor and the power supply. It fits well. I use it in a 24/7 Windows Home Server 2011 and a Lian Li Q-25 ITX case. I use Box to stream…
