With Intel stock coolers getting so crappy these days, something like this was essential for me to buy and install. I was maxing out at 98c with the stock cooler running games on my i5 4460. After installing this thing, it wont go past 55c. An amazing product and great bang for buck.

Was looking for a reasonably priced product to replace the ruins of the cooler that came with my PC. This fan doesn't disappoint. It took my CPU core temp from a sweltering 75 degrees plus (with the stock fan) down to an average of ~35 degrees under full load. I used Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Grease rather than the stuff it came with.

It looks good, but I don't really care about that. It fits a medium sized case just fine. No problems installing it; fits my "elderly" Gigabyte Z87X-D3H-CF. It cools the hell out of the CPU. It's reasonably priced.

All my thumbs up.

I was looking for a cheap replacement to a 5 year old stock fan that the bearings had gone in. For $35 this thing performs way better than the stock fan did with perfectly acceptable noise levels. Very quite under low load, perfect for watching media. Noise is reasonable when gaming.

I was not expecting installation to be such a pain. You need to put a back plate on the back of the motherboard and I had to remove my motherboard to get access

I bought this to pair with a Ryzen 5 1600 AF. For a cheaper CPU cooler this keeps my Ryzen CPU @4GHz OC (1.3v) under stress tests under 69°C. The fan does sit at over 2000rpm and while it's not super quiet it's acoustics are perfectly acceptable for me.

For a cheaper cooler it's more than adequate for my needs.. not the quietest or best cooling in the world but the value is certainly unquestionabe.

Went for this as I wanted performance on a budget for my first build. Was very happy with the performance for the price. Fits with plenty of space in my mid-tower (NZXT H510) despite looking like a bigger cooler.

Keeps my cpu around 30-35 while idling and 50-55c with moderate gaming. (i5 9600k)

Came across no issues during installation despite what others are saying.

This is a great CPU cooler. It keeps my CPU (i5-8400) much cooler than the terrible stock cooler. My max temp has been 50 degrees.

Some say that the instructions are hard to follow. They aren't as straightforward as one might like, but they are by no means difficult to follow.

Some may find you need to take the motherboard out to install, which is expected. The instructions are there for both Intel and AMD CPUs.

The cooler was taller than expected, and does not fit into my case. However, I planned to get a new case anyway so this was not a big deal.

The plastic fins that hold the fan to the heatsink are temperamental. I ended up snapping one. So be careful when doing that.

Overall a great cooler and I highly recommend it at its price point.
