Summary: Originally had the stock intel heatsink with my 3770k and it made an annoying whinny noise while running. Could always hear it while the computer was on.
Summary: This is a no-frills heatsink, it is cheap and performs better than a stock heatsink. If you are building a new computer and you aren't sure if you should get a...
Pros: Better than stock heatsink, Relatively cheap if on sale
Cons: None, it does what it is suppose to do., Instructions could be better.
Summary: The installation mechanism could be better but it's still rather easy. Aside from that, this is probably the best value/budget cooling option.
Summary: Works nicely. Good price. It was a bit of a pain to install on my Asus motherboard as the cooler's backplate had to balance on some bolt on the motherboard.
Pros: Good price. Performs nicely. Doesn't block the P4 power connector like my old scythe ninja 2 did.
Cons: Was a bit of a pain to install on my Asus P8Z77-V LK motherboard
Summary: Overall it works great and is an amazing value. Got it for my i5 3750k and it works just as it should! Amazing cooler, though it is quite big.
Pros: Cheap, Works Great!, Quiet when fans are turned down
Cons: A little confusing to install, not too bad, Fan is loud at 2000 RPM
Summary: Slightly loud when under full load but most of the time super silent. I attached a second fan to mine. Device is quite large and just fits around my other components.
Pros: Inexpensive, quiet, effective cooling, optional second fan can be used
Summary: Could be a bad mobo design, but the fan is overhanging the RAM slot closest to the CPU. I will not be able to install a high profile RAM unless I move the fan to the...
Summary: I used to own a Scythe Ninja heatsink, which was massive and made it nearly impossible to work with my motherboard once it was mounted to the case.
Pros: Keeps my i5-3570k very cool even when overclocked, For it's size, it does a very good job
