Thoughts on this cooler? Bought it yesterday, going to place it on my FX 4300 today.
better than stock don't overclock.
It works fine on my Sisters i7 970 and its a fairly hot CPU being a 130 watter, I would use it over standard any day!
Awesome cooler, was able to get up to 4.5Ghz on my i7-2700K with temps around 70C.
Fan never goes above 25% speed at stock speeds while keeping temps below 60C
4.222 G tmps: 60-61 on load idles; arround 27-34

Hi everyone, just installed it. Runs great and much quieter than the standard AMD stock fan. Idling now at 29/30 degrees Celcius. Didn't test it on full load yet.
Its a great heatsinck you can make it even better by adding a extra fan to it and set it up in push-pull with 2 fans ^_^
Pretty good for it's price, I'll see how it really performs this summer though.
You aren't very smart. This cooler could handle an overclock easily. The 4300 is only a 95 watt. He could probably push it to 4.5 with complete ease.
