was having trouble with my i7 6700 getting hot with the stock cooler (up to 93 degrees during stress test even 90 odd gaming) purchased this cooler as it was on sale so thought why not. really super simple install and awesome performance ( max 55 degrees in stress test and mid 40s gaming) would seriously recommend was having trouble with my i7 6700 getting hot with the stock cooler (up to 93 degrees during stress test even 90 odd gaming) purchased this cooler as it was on sale so thought why not. really super simple install and awesome performance ( max 55 degrees in stress test and mid 40s gaming) would seriously recommend

Not over clocking or anything so for a stock CPU it is perfect Not over clocking or anything so for a stock CPU it is perfect

great product good price, being used in my older pc setup and it looks nice great product good price, being used in my older pc setup and it looks nice

Easy to install. The instructions were great.
Have not heard it since it's been installed for the last couple of weeks.

Not sure how you'd get much better than that on the premium models. Easy to install. The instructions were great.

Have this on my son's build on an i5-10400. Does a solid job keeping it cool. Haven't seen temps above 55C on stress tests. Fan is quiet.

Only things preventing it from a full 5 stars is that the RGB is not addressable. It just has 6 different coloured LED. Clip holding the fan on is tricky to remove, which is only a problem because you need to remove it in order to access the screws holding the heatsink to the mobo.

Pretty good overall. Only downside is that your stuck with the rainbow colour Pretty good overall. Only downside is that your stuck with the rainbow colour

I have fairly tall sticks of RAM, and this cooler clears them with a bit to spare. The stock AMD cooler that came with my AM4 5600G was very 'buzzy', This one has a gentle 'rush' of air as it spools up (on boot), and is nearly inaudible the rest of the time. Keeps the chip much cooler than the stock heat-sink, too. And all for pretty cheap! I have fairly tall sticks of RAM, and this cooler clears them with a bit to spare.

I would have preferred a plain black fan but it was all that was available in stock and within my price range. I have set up the fan to pull from behind which makes the rainbow LEDs slightly less obvious. Installation was easy on an AM4 socket and temperatures are 10-15° lower than the stock cooler I was using previously. Nice and quiet too.

Can't ask for much more. Keeps my i3 10105f under 50 degrees Celsius and the cooler itself i've never seen above 55ish, even after hours of gaming. The lights look sweet even though they are fixed and it comes with everything you need to mount it(Though I used artic silver thermal paste), great value bit of kit for sure. Somehow I got this to fit in the deepcool matrexx 30 case even though the measurements say it shouldn't work :D Can't ask for much more.

My Ryzen 5 2600x rig that I bought second hand off the Facebook market place was having major overheating issues. It idles at 55-60c with the stock AMD fan, with this new cooler it now idles at 27c. It was easy to install even with the motherboard still inside the case. And even surprisingly so it managed to fit inside my mid/micro tower case. I snagged this little guy during the boxing day sale, absolute bargain.

Only downside is the RGB fan light cannot be turned off, so you either love rainbows or hate it.

Been using/stress testing this for a couple days - has cut 30 degrees off my max processor temperature coming from the stock Intel cooler. Very quiet and barely ramps up at maximum CPU usage - and the RGB is a nice bonus! Definite recommend for a fairly cheap and very performant cooler.

Easy to install, looks ok. Easy to install, looks ok.
