Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One of the best Low Profile fansThis is perfect if you own a HTPC or if you don't have much room for a bigger fan. Pros: -Great cooling (from 6 to 10 Celsius degrees cooler than the i7-860's stock fan when using one 120mm fan) -Quiet -Also supports dual 92mm or 80mm fans Cons: -Might not fit if you don't have std size ram sticks -Heavy, it could end up bending the motherboard Other thoughts: The one I ordered came with the brackets for LGA1366 & LGA1156 even when amazon's description doesn't mention it. I just upgraded from a Thermaltake ISGC-400 and the Cooler Master totally beats it. Rating:  - Small, but not the greatest cooling ability.I put this cooler on a slightly overclocked (to allow full DDR3 1600 speed) core i5 750 processor. This was on a new build, so I don't have comparisons to the stock cooler. It idles around 40-45 deg C, but it gets above 70 deg C under load (prime95 torture tests). This is quite hot, especially since I applied arctic silver 5 thermal compound. I changed to a different 120mm fan, off a previous cooler, and didn't see any real difference in cooling power. I suppose it might not be seated properly on the CPU, but the awkward setup gives little chance to check this. Despite the poor temperature performance, it is very small and quiet for an aftermarket cooler. It also has plenty of clearance for larger RAM modules. Rating: - Works with socket 1366 & Antec Skeleton caseI am kind of a CPU heatsink snob, and I tend to prefer the largest/quietest units I can get - but when I went with the Antec Skeleton case it limited by choices by quite a bit. At only 88mm tall (including the fan), this Cooler Master heatsink fit my requirements perfectly. Normally, I wouldn't have gone with a little unit like this - but I have been extremely impressed so far. As far as compatability goes, this heatsink also works with the socket 1366 processors; even though it isn't specified in the info on Amazon. I'm using it with a Core I7 920 and it works perfectly - all the required parts for socket 1366 were included in the box. One note on the installation is that you'll have to have the motherboard out when installing this heatsink. I'm not saying you need to pull it out just to install the backplate as with most other coolers - but you actually need to have the motherboard out when installing the heatsink itself; which seemed kind of awkward, but ... Read More Rating: - High Quality Heatsink, quiet operation!I bought this CPU cooler because I got annoyed by the noise from the stock CPU fan/heatsink assembly that came with my AMD Phenom 9500. The stock CPU fan is 80mm (or so) and spins at 3000 RPM producing a bit of noise when the CPU is hot. First impression of this heat sink: 1. High quality. Nicely packaged in a sturdy box, all the components look high quality and well made. 2. This CPU fan/heatsink is huge! Please note that your RAM must not be higher than 40mm from the motherboard for this to fit (on my motherboard, the RAM is right next to the CPU). Make sure you have room for this CPU cooler before buying. Now for the installation: 1. There're instructions with diagrams for how to install the heatsink in like 12 languages, make sure you pay close attention to the instructions. I tried to put a screw in clockwise but turns out you need to put the screws in counter-clockwise. The text of the instructions doesn't say that, so you need to eyeball the ...
