To cheer myself up after haveing to leave the LAN on Saturday I bought one of these   My standard cooler with the face decked ran 42-44 degrees @ full load with room temp around 28.This one runs 36-38 which is very good to be honest,but its not the performance thats the issue.The clamping procedure for the majority of after market coolers usually consist of springs which you simple tighten down till they bind,job done. :) With this one its a bolts which basically you have to guess on how tight you need it.Also no decent location,so another guess for that. Stated noise is 21dB,what a crock,closer to 40 imho. :angry: Last whine,base is far from flat,will be removed shortly for a session on the wet and dry and a pair of decent fans. <_<.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!!! :lmfao:  ;)

After a few hours decking,temps now run 34-36 full load @28 room temp. :) Massive hollow in centre of heatsink base,side to side,as if bent. <_< Now to find a pair of decent fans,before the oc battle commences. :lmfao: All in all, a flawed component in a few respects,but with potential. ;)
